Tired of shooting videos that end up playing upside down or rotated 90 degrees to the side? Say goodbye to all that and say hello to Horizon, an amazing app that should come pre-installed with iOS.

“Ever felt you had to rotate your device while recording a video? Do you often end up with vertical videos or videos in wrong orientation? Enter Horizon!” says developer Evil Window Dog.

Horizon ensures that, no matter how you hold your device while recording a video, the final clip will always display in landscape (widescreen) mode.

The software has an auto-leveling feature which uses your device’s gyroscope to keep the same orientation throughout the shooting, resulting in a video that stays parallel to the ground at all times.

Depending on the device you own, Horizon offers 5 resolution options: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 640x640, 640x480, and 480x480. To download Horizon, you’ll need iOS 7.
