I think it is still early days for the PWI software, and promised additional functionality. Most of the CGX owners have worked out their approach and tool choice, but it is good to know Stellarium can work too. For simplicity it is hard to go past Sky Safari 5 which has Celestron wifi in the configuration choices, and does alignment within Sky Safari, no need for any handset use to align.
Unfortunately, for pier mounted CGXs, only the hand controller ( or maybe Nextremote), gives you the ability to just use the last alignment (at this time). If you are on a pier with very good PA, you really only need to align once, then pick 'last alignment' next time and the next. As long as your time and date is correct and location has not changed, you will be right on target. This has saved me a lot of time. I can just goto my target and start imaging.
