Screen won't auto-rotate for certain apps/websites - 1Pad 6

My iPad won't rotate to horizontal in certain apps, particularly Hoopla, which offers e-books by streaming. My screen rotation switch is unlocked. I can only use the app in the vertical position. Is there anyway to force rotation, perhaps through another app? Thanks.

iPad, iOS 13

Question marked as Best answer

If the app/s developer/s have not coded their app/s to rotate, then there is nothing to be done

Especially if the app is strictly an app only made/coded for iPhone/iPod Touch and there is real no iPad version of an app OR the app is not made/coded to be completely universal app across all iOS devices.
