Merc Vessel View Mobile?

[bmajvi]

I decided to follow Bigshrimpin's lead and repower my 23' Sceptre with a Merc 150 four stroke. I understand from Mercury that the Vessel View Mobile app can display the same data on your phone that a wired Smartcraft gauge does, and some folks (mostly smaller motors, but some larger) are choosing to use mobile only. Anyone here have any experience/know somebody using the mobile app? Pros/Cons?

Intended use of the boat is mostly a 5NM run to a sand bar kinda deal, and nearby snorkeling. If the weather's nice and a good Mahi/Wahoo bite is on, probably a little nearby trolling. My goals are simple, reliable, cost effective, and easy to maintain.
