It may be that my Samsung is a much older S8 model or it may just be I'm a total idiot but I wave my arms around like a maniac to align the compass app but it tends to go off with use.
I guess it doesn't matter, I don't see much on anything below a 65 inch screen anyway. Thankfully I don't have to pick my laptop up and wave it around......

I connect my Samsung phone to my telescope to align it using Synscan, then connect my Samsung tablet to the telescope to drive it around using Skysafari. I do wave my arms about like an idiot for that first compass calibration exercise, but after the initial setup and alignment, the phone just gets left on a table nearby and I've never had to think about the compass calibration for the rest of the night.
