The problem with using an Android phond or tablet for alignment is the varibility of the device hardware. A good handheld compass is more accurate. What do you need to align? If your mount has GPS onboard all you really need is to level it and align to true south.

I was pretty much trying to find an app version to align my mount/scope to true south. Amongst other things the app can do.
