The ios one was easy to fix for someone how don't know mobile programming, the android part i don't know how to do. And on Android, you can download apps that force rotation (even without root access).

Fix: #190

From my research Apple's HIG discourages it because it disorients users and breaks proximity-sensor behavior during calls.

I wasn't able to find where it says this in the new HIG (only in an old archived version).

But iPhone models without a home button will ignore the portraitUpsideDown functionality, while those with the home button will work.

breaks proximity-sensor behavior during calls.

Since the app runs mostly in the background and is only opened for configuration, the proximity sensor behavior during calls is unlikely to affect the actual use case on these older devices.

Sorry for the delay.
