Description

When you turn your device, the screen switches between portrait and landscape. But if you lie on your side, it's the wrong way around. Sideways Mode fixes this, so now you can turn your device to switch between portrait and landscape even while lying on your side. This is useful for reading, web browsing or watching videos in bed.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

1 ★It was one my favorite app. But no longer the case along with the renaming. My primary use case is to allow the apps being upside down for the apps with fixed upright portrait restriction, while still force such apps in portrait mode only. I am using a tablet with on screen navigation buttons, and I want to prevent the screen burn in effect and this app works like a charm until this recent update.
5 ★The first time in my life that I love auto rotation feature of my phone, great app, thanks!
5 ★57?? only need to be thousands
5 ★Upsidedown is frigging awesome 360° all day
3 ★I installed it on a one-week-old LG K7 and it didn't work, so I hope that it would, uninstalling until we can figure things out
5 ★The allow reversible image feature is unique and neccesary that other apps could not do.
5 ★It works, it's convenient. A proper light weight app with no weird permission requests.
5 ★Very useful app, very convenient.
5 ★Just what I needed, works magically!
1 ★Can't recognize accelerometer
5 ★Me a go try it now
