Earlier this week, Horizon launched to address a pesky problem related to smartphone cameras.
The app lets you record horizontal videos regardless of how you hold your phone. Replacing the usual camera found on most phones and tablets, Horizon can harness the built-in gyroscope to ensure that videos are kept in place.
Unfortunately, the app sometimes reduces the video's resolution, meaning it might be grainier or less sharp. But that could be an ok trade-off if you really need to frame your video horizontally.
