I think the app you're looking for is "Pocket Universe". I don't know if it's available for Androids, but I have it on my iPhone.

It uses the GPS to tell where you are, and the compass etc to tell where you're pointing it, and shows you what's in that part of the sky. You can move it around and spot/identify stuff.

It will allow the usual zoom in and look at the detail, but not in "sky search" mode.

An excellent app.
