I tried scrolling down and clicking landscape instead of portrait, but it still shows the screen in portrait. How do I fix this?

Have you maybe locked your device’s screen orientation?

Welcome @rajvishah167p  
If your using the thunkable editor you can´t change the orientation.  
However if you change it to landscape and download or use the companion it will be in landscape mode.

Oooooooohhh… He means in the web editor? No… it won’t… but he has a fair point. I mean, if you set your screen to “Landscape”, so should the device mockup in the editor. Perhaps a good idea for an enhancement so that we can “see” our apps in both orientations while building them.
