The FireStick allows you to sideload the best streaming APKs, which give you access to free content including movies, shows, and live TV channels.
However, not all of these apps are fully compatible with the FireStick, which can lead to frustrating issues like apps displaying in the wrong orientation.
This is where the Set Orientation app can help. It is a free app that ensures every app displays correctly in landscape mode, just as it should on your TV.
Please note that since Set Orientation is a third-party app, be sure to install it using a VPN. ExpressVPN is our #1 choice.
