FAQ
Q: How does this app solve the common daily frustrations of screen rotation?
A: We have all experienced the annoyance of launching a video streaming app or opening our photo gallery, realizing the auto-rotate is turned off, pulling down the notification shade to toggle it on, and then forgetting to turn it off afterward when we go back to reading a website in bed. Auto Auto-Rotate completely eliminates this frustrating loop by silently managing these settings in the background. It makes your transition between portrait-bound and landscape-friendly apps entirely hands-free and seamless.
Q: Does Auto Auto-Rotate run silently in the background, or will it interrupt my daily phone usage?
A: The app is designed to run quietly in the background without causing any interruptions to your daily routine. Once you set up your custom preferences for your various applications, the utility operates seamlessly behind the scenes. It instantly detects when you open or close a configured app and applies your settings immediately, so you will barely even notice it is running.
Q: Can I customize individual rotation rules for every single app on my device?
A: Yes, that is the primary feature of this utility. It offers full per-app customization, which allows you to assign a specific auto-rotate behavior to every single application installed on your phone. This level of control ensures that each app behaves exactly the way you want it to, without affecting how other apps behave.
