Rotation Control Pro

Open the app and look for the 'orientation per app' setting. You can then select individual apps like your recipe app or video streaming apps and assign a specific orientation (portrait or landscape) that will override the system default. It may take a few minutes to explore the settings, but once configured, it saves you from constant manual rotation adjustments.

The notification toggle lets you quickly switch between auto-rotate, locked portrait, or locked landscape directly from your notification shade. Just swipe down from the top of your screen and tap the toggle—no need to dig into the main settings menu. It's a fast way to change rotation modes on the fly.

This usually happens when your iPhone's built-in portrait orientation lock is also turned on. The two settings conflict, so make sure to turn off the system's portrait lock in Control Center before using Rotation Control Pro to force landscape mode. Disabling the built-in lock resolves the issue.

Start by focusing on the 'orientation per app' feature and the notification toggle, which cover most everyday needs. If you're stuck, watch a short YouTube tutorial or tap around the 'custom presets' section—it takes about 20 minutes to get comfortable. A step-by-step onboarding tutorial would be helpful, but for now, these two features are the easiest to master.

The built-in lock is all-or-nothing—it locks everything in portrait mode with no flexibility. Rotation Control Pro lets you set specific orientations for individual apps, like keeping your recipe app in portrait while forcing video apps into landscape. It also offers a notification toggle and home screen shortcuts, giving you far more control than Apple's default option.
