Have you read the user guide?

Did you check out the suggestions for mounting your phone onto your scope?

There's a link to a post with photos by a Cloudy Nights member who attached his phone to a 16" LightBridge to use SkEye here:

Did you calibrate the compass before attaching your phone / tablet to your telescope? (This is essential!)
Did you have Sensor Fusion turned on? Did you experiment with different Sensor Fusion Sensitivity settings? (My Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 work fine using "Normal" sensitivity.) Did you see the warning that "Higher sensitivity may reduce lag but may increase jitter"?)
Did you have Indirect Mode turned on?
Did you have Magnetic Field Warning turned on? Did it alert you to any problems with abnormal magnetic fields? Does your telescope have a steel tube / truss, or is it non-magnetic? If so, you may need to find a different way to mount your phone onto your scope, to get it further away from the magnetic metal components.
If you've been through all of this, and can't get good results, it may just not work for you, your phone, and / or your telescope.
