Hi Tim,
And welcome to IIS!
The scope you're looking at is likely intended for entertainment. It has enough aperture to show the rings of Saturn, Jupiters cloud bands and all of the brightest nebulae - the Moon included.
It can track these objects so no manual intervention is required and what you see is what others will see when you step aside from the eyepiece (earth moves quite fast when looking at it magnified). The mobile app is probably pretty cool, especially if you have a tablet. I recon it makes for a great party feature.
The two eyepieces that come with it will give you a good range. You can beef it up with a Barlow lens if you feel the need. A premium widefield eyepiece would make this quite a nice assembly for tours of the night sky.
There is nothing wrong with this scope. That same money might buy you a fully manual Dobsonian of nearly twice the aperture, which weighs more and means you have to search for objects the "analogue way". But it will show you more and brighter and more detailed images. That's the trade you have to make.
I reckon you should go for it. If you get hooked, it won't be the last scope you buy and $700 is not a lot in this hobby. If you get bored with time, I am sure you'll get it sold without too much loss for all the gimmicks and WiFi stuff is what gets us guys interested in the first place
Clear skies!
