 * Lovely app.
 * One problem is many users have complained about not being able to rotate as the
   default is Portrait. See The Register article comments on PWA’s [https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/04/one_of_apples_monopoly_defenses/](https://www.theregister.com/2021/05/04/one_of_apples_monopoly_defenses/)
   for more.
 * Can this be set to Follow as default. I don’t see a security risk as no permissions
   required to follow.
 * This would solve many complaints as your plugin is nearly default across the 
   WordPress web.

 * We do have an option in superpwa settings. Using this Orientation you can set
   it as per your requirements.

 * Orientation is set to Portrait by default (as ur pic), so lots of PWA sites are
   fixed and annoying because of this.
 * Orientation default should be Follow Device not Portrait

 * IOS does not take orientation from the manifest. It prefers user handle(device
   orientation) to manage it, not from the manifest.

 * iOs uses Follow Device and no longer allows the manifest to dictate orientation
   as that was a hang-over from 1-gen Apps for mobiles.
 * Whilst iOS ignores the orientation declaration, Android – by far the most popular
   OS in the world – does still allow orientation and by setting the selected option
   to Portrait, most users – myself included when I first used your plugin – won’t
   realise this.
 * If it is set to Follow Device Orientation then it stops that.
 * I care little about you or your plugin. It was nice as it was really the first
   on the scene that did a nice job of PWA’s, But there are many many more competitors
   now and almost all of them ignore device orientation completely.
 * Last post on this. fix that issue and 95% of PWA WordPress web-apps will resolve
   one of the biggest UI issues with PWA and most complained about on The Register.

 * Thanks for the concern about our plugin. We will look into this.
