Usually the compass function in phones (like most compasses) does not play well with metal tube tube scopes like the Lightbridge when the phone is actually mounted on the scope, so that will usually stuff up those "push to" apps.
I was also going to suggest that a digital readout tilt meter should be more accurate (after testing it) than altitude circles since it is much less dependant on the scope base board being truly horizontal. But I see you might have thought of that?
If you go the star hopping route a Telrad finder is a great help with it's 4, 2 and 0.5 degree circles.
