Found an Android app named Star Walk 2 that is FANTASTIC at pinpointing all the stars and constellations based on your location. It helped me find Mars almost immediately the other night.

It also works in the daytime and if you point it down it shows stars on the other side of the world.

They did not pay me for this endorsement ;)

I use the Sky View (Lite) app, the free version. I’ve been using it for years on my iPhone. Sounds like you app works about the same way.

#3 The Star Walk 2 app is very good. I opened it up on my phone and you can see the lineup of the planets in the eastern sky. Great for helping pinpointing object.
You can also zoom in on objects like Orion and see the nebula close up. I must have a great camera on my LG G6 phone.... : )
