Works
Response from developer
Hi. Sorry for the trouble. The app tries to make it clear when launching - the main app window is the polar scope view, which would appear "frozen" (the polaris marker takes 24 hours to go around the centre, so movement is imperceptible). The polar alignment method that "moves" with the phone is the daytime/no polar scope, which is the Sun icon at the bottom. The in-app help will also explain the differences of the various polar alignemnt tools. If you still have issues, you can always message the developer using the contact form at astro.ecuadors.net or the listed email.
Daytime Alignment bug in v7.2 (Az/Alt miscalculation)
Even after a clean re-installation, the target Azimuth and Altitude in Daytime mode remain broken. It seems like a sensor coordinate processing bug in the latest version. Please check and fix this in the next update.
Response from developer
Hello. Could you please check what the "Orientation: " selector at the top of the Daytime tool is showing? It should say "Device TOP" if you are trying to use it via the classic method, you can press the orientation and choose it if not (or select one of the 3 supported ones - where a different part of the phone points to the north celestial pole). Just to make it clear, the Alt: Az: at the bottom is where you are pointing based on the selected orientation, not where the target is. You can also message me directly at ecuador_gr [at] hotmail.com for help.
Perfect apps, lots of information.
If world tide time table could be included, it would be the best❣️
Highly recommend!
If there is tide time available, that would be perfect apps👊
Tool Rich Environment
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. Stellarium probably not, but there is something a bit similar in the horizon, possibly to be in development in the next couple of months or so... If you are interested, you can message me via astro.ecuadors.net, beta testers get early development versions.

Great for phone based polar alignment
Excelente
Astrophotographers of all levels: this app is a must have
Exceptional
So easy to use for direction and inclination.
super helpful
It shows you exactly what you need to see to be aligned and it has quite precise daytime alignment features.
