Following the historical docking of the Crew Dragon with the International Space Station, I've found that simulator proposed by Space X:
https://iss-sim.spacex.com/
(link tested from PC, I don't know what's the result on a smartphone)

While docking is automatic, the simulator proposes you to do it manually with the actual Crew Dragon's interface.
There's a clear detailed help, but I did a screenshot and explained the commands:

Green numbers in the central reticle are positions, blue numbers are rates (angular speed or speed in translation).
For a successful docking, all numbers have to be below 0.2.

Enjoy ;)

I think yesterday we may have watched the same YouTube video on docking the Crew Dragon with the International Space Station, the presenter was talking about this simulator and also about KSP.

Actually I knew about it from another source. On my side I directly watched the stream from Space X.

I did it on first try too. What's fun is that I find it easier than docking in SR2, the only time I failed it was intentional.

It's initially done for PC I think. It also runs on mobile, but it lags. I've tried with my Galaxy S7, it's kinda slow.

It was designed for dragon 2 touchscreen, and minimally adapted for web browser.
So, anything that runs a web browser and is fast enough. Ideally with a touchscreen.

In options, you can change the Earth into a flat Earth...

Ah, I was expecting somebody to notice that sooner or later. :)
You can also turn gravity off, but I didn't see the difference...

With gravity on, the dragon slowly drifts away from the ISS when in different orbits I think.
