Software for Polar alignment?

May I please ask what software or app you use for polar alignment of celestial north (or south) on an eq mount such as Sky Watcher's Star Adventurer?

I've only found one for the iPad/iPhone "AstroPhysics PolarAlignAP 2.1" (phew).

Is this any good?

Are there others to consider?

Any iPhone app is handy because the GPS knows we are, plus the handy-size thing is in my pocket instead of hauling a 15-in laptop out :-(

TIA, Jeff.

Polar finder is a good app but I am not sure if its PC/android only.

Thanks, I put "Polar Finder" into the iTunes app search engine and returned two "PolarAlign" (2.1 and 5.1), one entirely in japanese and one for finding icecream ;-)

PolarAlign 5.1 can't seem to  access the iPhone GPS but PolarAlignAP 2.1 locks on immediately.
