Mars is moving away from us very quickly so detail is not really possible at present. Couple of months ago it was OK but never good this time round. I saw it on Saturday and could resolve a disk with hints of darker bit but that was about it, or was that wishful thinking?
The smeared stars are a result of coma. It is reduced by better eyepieces and in extreme cases a paracorr but in the beginning just learn to live with it for a while, don't leap into the eyepiece and accessory market till you have had your scope a while.
