I have not used one myself but a couple of the Wednesday group have and I was impresssed how easy it was to find the planets in the twighlight. If I come across any apps I will point them your way.

I want to reply to the string under "Apps",  but when I go to the last message in that string there is no "reply" button for me to press.

If I go into the "Hi guys" string there is a reply button there. Strange !

If I could get a reply button in"Apps", this is what I would say.

Hi James, with it being an Andriod system, you could get 'Google Sky', 'Star Chart' or 'SkEye' to name a few.

HTH.
