Most pilots who use mobile devices (tablets/phones) in the cockpit usually mount them to the windshield. When they do this, the device is effectively "attached" to the aircraft's body and as long as it is placed level to the aircraft's attitude, it should (theoretically) be the same as the aircraft's attitude.

Of course, if the device is rotated or the pilot is holding it in their hands then it probably won't have the same attitude as the aircraft. The ADI works best when the device is attached the aircraft.

Also, please don't use the ADI as primary means of flying. It's only there for testing and/or backup purposes (even then, you shouldn't use it unless you're absolutely desperate and have no other alternative). As stated in the disclaimer that you agree to before you start using the app, the ultimate responsibility of maintaining control of the aircraft lies with you.
