Stellarium is available for the Mac, but not (anymore) for iOS. Judging from user comments the iOS version did not come close to the desktop version, so it's likely no loss.
Someone in a forum I just checked recommended SkySafari as an alternative for iOS users. Unfortunately I can't comment if it includes the same features we're looking for in this thread, because I'm currently on a mobile network with no usable WLAN nearby, so I can't download the app (it's more than 50 MB, the mobile network barrier established in the App store).
However: the basic version (SkySafari 3, there are also quite expensive Plus and Pro versions) is free today (April 22nd). So someone else with an iOS device can maybe check the features without any (financial) risk.
