Tired of watching unbalanced videos that you’ve shot on your Android phone? Don’t worry about it — just install Horizon, a brilliant new Android app that will keep your camera steady at a horizontal angle no matter how you’re holding your phone. This means that you’ll be able to hold your phone upright in portrait mode and still shoot videos that give you a nice wide horizontal landscape.

Horizon supports several different video resolutions depending on the device you’re using including VGA, HD and Full HD. Even more importantly, other video apps can launch Horizon to film videos, which means that you won’t be stuck using your device’s stock camera software to shoot perfectly horizontal videos. The app has been successfully on the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Note 3, S4, HTC One, HTC one mini and the Motorola Razr HD, and it will likely work well on more recent devices that have stronger specifications as well.

The app is free to download and includes optional in-app purchases. You can find it at the Google Play store by clicking the source link below.
