Hi Martin,

It would be of interest what the screen size on your phone is set to (Android settings > Display > Display size and text). On my Asus the most left setting also causes the app to launch in landscape/tablet mode, while the other options launch in portrait.

The app seem to distinguish between phones and tablets using screen width dpi and select a fixed orientation accordingly. So perhaps your phone is also set in a way (everything quite small) resulting in a width more akin to tablets. If so you can try different settings to fix this.

yes that worked. but it doesn't solve my problem because I've got my phone set up this way for a reason. and changing the display size every time I'm opening igp is too much of a hassle for me.

Good to know that works, even though it's not ideal indeed. Until now it was one known case of this happening with running extreme settings on a non-mainstream device (and I'm that guy that, all in all, prefers landscape anyway), so no priority at all. Now with the worst issues of the latest updates/grades addressed and no longer a single case (also another Android 14 phone) there might be time to look into it.
