Very good but occasionally hangs on avionics and while the engine on it reads lots of ghost fish so I use while the engine is off.

Update: June 2018: It's still kicking 4 years later. Works perfect still.
Don't listen to these other people that say it's not good. It's not a $300
Lawrence with downvu, but its perfect for portability and on a canoe or
kayak. Now using with Samsung S8+. Still 5 stars! Got the tpod. Used with
Note 2. Works great from my canoe!

Excellent!!! I bought this to use as a depth finder on my 25ft sail boat (a marine depth finder costs twice the amount). It works great. The "dong" is plenty loud enough (get a phone with a better speaker if you can't hear it, or maybe book yourself on for a hearing test). I have had no troubles with any connection issues (stay closer to it a maybe the Wi-Fi won't drop out.duh). Yes it is only a single beam sonar.what did you expect for the price??? (If you want 3d imaging go spend more $$$)
★★☆☆☆
Installs but doesn't work.tried multiple times

I have used this in cooperation with Avionics for years, it Used to work well, but now, with the latest avionics update, you no longer get the sonar phone information on avionics. Please have this fixed. The sonar phone is useless to me now.
★★☆☆☆
Before you buy the Velar Sonar please note that this system only works on Wi-Fi and you cannot pick up internet on your phone or tablet while on this app. So if you bump internet off your boats' system for other devices you're screwed. This means gps won't work either. This forces you to pay for extra services for your other devices. Waiting for a company to do it via Bluetooth which would have been smarter. If you use your phone only you will be ok.
★★☆☆☆
Don't kid yourself this is a toy, not a real fish finder. It's very unstable and loses Wi-Fi constantly. No down scan and overall poor quality basic sonar. I realize it's inexpensive, but you really get what you pay for.
