Have you tried enabling the auxillary encoder, the setting is in the Settings menu. It seems that this isn't enabled by default. I've found that enabling this greatly improves goto function accuracy and reliability.

Thx! That was what I needed to do!

Last night I simply moved it about by hand and watched the coordinates on the app (and on Sky Safari) change....or not change as it happens. When I then tightened the clamps up again, and tried goto, the alignment had obviously gone. I know the manual says you can turn off freedom find if you're never going to use it, to increase goto accuracy, so I suspect that might be what's happened here. I just can't find the setting anywhere to turn it back on!

I have this same problem and haven't been able to solve it... have you figured out a solution?

So far I've tried:

1. uninstalling and reinstalling the app (both regular and pro versions)
2. restarting the phone
3. restarting the mount
4. re-reading the az-gti directions
5. searching the internet (this was one of the few discussions on this issue!)

I'm wondering if our mounts are defective... or if this is a known bug that hasn't been fixed... or if it's some unique bug just between our phones and the app (I use a Samsung Galaxy S8+.... is that what you use?).
