Allan, SkySafari, apart from probably being the best planetarium software available for a smart phone, does give a real time display of any centred object, at least in the iPhone version. Pretty sure it would be the same with the Android version, but worth checking first. Just set SkySafari to use the current time in it's "settings". You get a constantly updated Az/Alt readout to a tenth of a degree.
