I'm very surprised people have not mentioned this app does not work very well (if at all) when the phone is in any orientation other than straight up and down.

Why is it not possible for the developers to use the orientation sensor/gyroscope to accomodate for this? Many times it's easier to fit a bunch of text on the camera in landscape mode than the alternative. It's also a lot more natural for me to hold my phone in landscape mode when using the camera.

Just my $0.02 and congrats on all the hubbub. Can't wait for more languages :)

You can hit the 'lock' button to switch the orientation to landscape.
On an iPad, but not on an iPhone.
Yes, on the iPhone. It's red, in the upper left corner. Once you unlock it, it'll follow the device's orientation.
Ah, I see what you mean - I thought we were talking about the rotation lock for the phone itself.
