Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This app is developed to force change orientation of phones (smartphones or tablets) having faulty orientation sensors or Android OS with rotation issues. You can easily force landscape or portrait mode in any apps you have. This is useful for apps having a UI specifically designed to work in portrait mode, regardless of your device's screen orientation; this app will allow you to force view them in landscape mode. Force Screen Orientation will help you set these screen orientations: - Auto-rotate - Portrait - Reverse Portrait - Landscape - Reverse Landscape After you set screen orientation, an option to lock it will be offered. You can also use our widget to easily rotate screen from your home screen.
