The Star Adventurer Mini Console I think is the official title of the app which is available for Android here and there is an IOS version which I just checked on the App Store.

Designed to connect to the Star Adventurer Mini [SAM] but the useful thing for me is polar clock utility which shows an image of the Octans stars as they would appear in the polar scope at the current time on your phone with a reasonable dark mode.

As attached: So you can align by judging the correct location of the octans polar stars in the scope without having to have the time settings on the polar scope adjusted or see the diagram of the Star asterism markings which can be difficult.
