I’d love to tell you that Set Orientation is a hot new app that solves the rotation problem on Android TV and FireStick, but that’d be a lie.
So I did a little research and found an app that will automatically rotate any apps, so they look great on your Android TV or FireStick screen. The app was right-side-up on my Mi Box Android TV, but it stretched all the text and pictures to fit landscape mode. When I installed it on my FireStick, the app was sideways, so I couldn’t use it. I encountered this problem while writing a tutorial on installing TikTok on an Android TV and FireStick. Occasionally the app will display sideways, and the screen won’t rotate no matter what you try. Other times, the orientation is stretched across the screen, making it difficult to read. Sometimes the screen is rotated into portrait mode when you need it in landscape mode. One of the issues with sideloading an app designed for your Android smartphone onto your Android TV or FireStick is that it doesn’t always look like it should.
