Thanks. It's a nice feature, especially on a phone, which is small and very
oblong so landcape is vastly different than portrait mode.

I love the iPad/iPhone feature to have a lock-rotation button.
I love that VLC has it too.
I just wish YouTube or Android had it.

Hmmm... ok. Well, the kids complained that the lock didn't work after we
switched from iOS 7.0.1 to 9.something - and we found that there was a
setting that changes what the lock button does.

Maybe the upgrade *defaulted* to a different setting than what we had
prior?

OK. That's good to know as it's a nice feature.
I wish I could define what the volume buttons do on Android, for example.
