I have one.
 
I am happy with it and it is pretty good for what it is but does work best in water that is deeper than 6ft.
 
My only complaints are that it sometimes has trouble distinguishing between mid-water snags and fish (i.e. if you pull it over submerged tree it will show any thick branches as a dense school of fish rather than a solid object) and very occasionally it will take a little while to connect to my phone.  I can't remember mine ever showing weed like the ones in the pictures either.
 
It gets better with every update of the app though and does seem to be the best option on the market at the moment.
 
If you get one pick up a cheap one of those arm band phone holders otherwise you will run out of hands when you are pulling it in trying to watch the screen at the same time.
