I have installed the Discourse app on my Android device, but it only seems to operate in portrait mode, which is particularly annoying when trying to view a chart or similar. I can't find anything relevant in Preferences. Are others seeing this?

I just tried it on an Android tablet and it did rotate. It looks like a simple link to the homepage though, not very impressive.

I have uninstalled the app and browsed to [discourse.node-red.org](http://discourse.node-red.org) in Chrome and then selected Add to Home Page, and now it does rotate. Strange. Thanks @ghayne.
