About this app

Auto Auto-Rotate is an extremely simple app that stores Android's auto-rotate setting per app.

Do you usually disable auto-rotate and enabled it only for some apps? Like your gallery, or your video app? Do you tend to forget to turn it off afterwards? Does it bother you?

Then Auto Auto-Rotate is the perfect app for you!

Auto Auto-Rotate is open source and released under the GPLv3 license[1]. Check out the code if you like[2].

Required Android Permissions

▸ WRITE_SETTINGS to turn Android's auto-rotate on and off.
▸ BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE to detect app launches.
▸ REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS to make sure it keeps running in the background.
▸ RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED to automatically startup on boot if activated.
▸ PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS to get the currently running app.

You can download it for free in F-Droid[3]

Got this for free on sale. It works as stated. Very convenient. I don't like to rotate my screen for anything other than horizontal games and photos. Since games automatically change rotation, I'm just using it for my gallery app to rotate vids and photos quickly. Only thing is the annoying notification banner thingy that stays up when the apps in use. Luckily, you can just turn off notifications for the app through your phone's app settings. 👍

It's a miracle that the function of this app hasn't been integrated into Android yet. Autorotation should be a per-app setting. Actually I just use this because of Google Photos and its lack of convenience. I don't mind the tiny fee of this app which is freely available on F-Droid anyway. Hopefully the developer makes a fortune of it. It's these small, thoughtful tools that show the digital age could be so much better if developers put the users' interest and comfort first.

Purchased the paid version. Specifically wanted this for Google Maps app to auto rotate when navigating. It worked for a day or two but it quit and now I can't make it function properly. I would like a refund if possible as what I paid for is not what I received.
