How do I use iphone 6s or iphone 7 on NX1 in 2020?

The issues:  My NX1 doesn't have an articulating screen so I can't see myself when filming alone when I'm the subject. I'd like to get a video monitor, but I'm tapped out financially for a while so I'm trying to use my  old iphone 6s  or my iphone 7 as an external monitor.  
There is the Samsung Camera Manger App but it's terrible and though I used to be able to connect to it, no matter how much I fiddle with the settings I can't get my phone to connect to the camera, or vice versa anymore.  Even when I did the app crashed constantly.  
There are lots of other DSLR controller apps on the app store but they all work only with Canon or Nikon cameras.  
My question is this:  Is there an app that actually works to connect the NX1 to the Iphone 6s or 7?

IF NOT... what do I need to connect my phone physically to the camera, so it can be used as a monitor.   Do I need a specific dongle?  Do I need something other than just the cable to connect, some HDMI converter or something? 
This would make recording SOOO much easier for me, but unfortunately I can't afford anything other than the absolute cheapest options.
Thank you so much for your time!
