Thank you Sky map devs :) When I first opened ver 1.9.2 the app seemed to be broken. It always showed me the nadir centered in the screen. I found that gyro is on by default but locating objects wasn't working if phones' auto rotate is OFF. When auto rotate is ON  the locating works but it gives me very shaky results. However  when I followed the advice of the sky map devs and disabled the gyro in the app options I found that locating objects works well and gives me smooth result regardless of the phones' auto rotate setting.
