It would be nice to be able to access the website on a smartphone (even if the experience is suboptimal), instead of denying access.

Thanks! This is updated now, and you should be able to access the website https://hengefinder.rcdis.co/ on mobile. You can also download the app with more features at https://hengefinder.com/
Smartphones have the huge advantage of direction sensors (3D magnetometer and gyro). I remember using apps like Google sky map (or something like that) way back in 2011 to look at satellites and planets.
Not sure if this is the app you were referring to, But Stellarium does exactly what you're describing.
There's a mobile app that supposedly works worldwide (but isn't available in my country).
Really wish mobile browsers were better liars when it comes to "desktop mode"
Seriously. Plus, what is the problem that some websites are 'fixing' by denying me a choice in how the website loads?
That they’ve chosen gaps between components that are larger than your device screen,

and they either functionally can’t,

or simply don’t want to,

adapt their poorly-designed webapp frontend to.
