My favourite phone app for astronomy is the GPS, so I know my exact coordinates when I am out Whoop-whoop. I use a good quality compass and a proper mechanical inclinometer for the rest.
As to all the other techno-crap, couldn't care less about them. As Leon says, look up. SkySafari was the biggest waste of money I have ever put on the phone. It works, it's clever, but I never use it. I learned from a young age the sky, and I am pretty confident finding my way around. I may forget names, but it's not the name that counts, it's what it is, what is near it...
