I see that some members, especially members that don't like Boruto are calling him a false prodigy and bashing him for cheating during the Chuunin exams.
I'm going to elaborate as easy as possible for those members that can't comprehend the bigger picture as to why he cheated and as to why that doesn't take away or diminish the fact that he is a prodigy.
Boruto was influenced and deceived by a scientist who manufactured the bracelet he used, Boruto hesitates but accepts it obviously because the scientist told him it will impress his father, which was Boruto's goal so he went on to using it despite obviously not wanting to at first.
This is obvious considering the dialogue between the two after Boruto is disqualified Naruto says "we're going to talk when we get home" and Boruto adds "If you were home we wouldn't need to talk about this" Boruto letting him know if he were home and cooperated with him he wouldn't need to go into desperate measures to get his attention by using the bracelet.
As for being a prodigy, he seemed to have learned rasengan fairly quick, he also was able to incorporate raiton into it unconsciously on the first try, something Minato and Kakashi couldn't even do along with being able to make a rasengan without clones. And on top of that creating His own unique jutsu, a rasengan that disappears after being tossed and strikes upon contact (like a teleporting rasengan) which Sasuke was impressed by afterwards Salada pointed out that it struck a tree. It seems like an overwhelming jutsu to use especially for a kid.
Let's not forget who finally takes down the final villain. U_U
Tldr: Boruto is still Borudigy
