I took a picture of the night sky during a camping trip. All I have is the coordinate, the direction (it was around eastward) and the time it was taken. Is there an app or a website that let me identify which star was it?

I'm not very very deep into astronomy. I was tinkering with my phone camera manual setting and I took this image where I can see most of the stars. It was very interesting. I want to identify what I was looking. Is it possible to do that? I'm very sorry that I cannot share the image because I have posted it on my SNS site

It doesn't need to know what direction you're looking in advance - what it does is find where in the whole sky you'd find a collection of stars in the same relative position with similar relative brightness to what you've got in the image. It relies on having a decent image of a number of stars.
