Is this a decent scope?

Seems okay for 40 bucks up until I saw that it's 30 dollars for shipping, find a different supplier, there are units like this available in the states for less shipping.

For hobby work, I'd suggest going with an old (but still functional) analog scope, I picked one up for 30 dollars (including shipping) for a 500khz tube scope that was quiet nice for audio and basic electrical testing. Bargain hunt for those older analog scopes they'll have better overall features and capabilities and be a little more useful.

Even if the hardware is alright, often the software of cheap no-name devices will let you down. I notice the one mentioned is showing "PAUSHED"... perhaps the rest of the software had more attention given to it.

Someone I know has a similar handheld scope to the one you've shown; it suffers terribly from aliasing, as the scope doesn't sample at its maximum sample rate for all timescales. It's pretty-much useless for everything we tried it on.
