4.4 out of 5

Half baked

2022-05-22

I wasted a day trying to use the buggy video editor to splice apart our beginning to end live stream game video and gave up in disgust. Each splice makes you start back at the beginning of the video and fast forward back to where you just spliced so you can play from there and make the next splice and a start at the beginning again. About as aggravating as software could ever be.
Then I spent half a day fighting to use the buggy stats tagging function only to find after I entered an entire game the stats were completely wrong and there is no way to review and correct any errors.
Completely wasted my time.
Oh and you have to upload on the web app because the iOS app doesn’t work for that either.

Upload malfunction

2022-06-23

Hello, I film for my high school football team and I recently had to film a game. Everything’s good so far. Then I go to upload it. It asks me to give the footage a title and when I’m done putting in the title I hit upload... then Hudl closes out randomly. I try to re-open Hudl knowing it would save the footage in the camera roll. I look in the camera roll... where’s the footage? All 123 clips, gone, POOF. I tried to look in the library and recently deleted, but nothing. I don’t know if it was the iPad I was using (iPad Air 2) or Hudl itself. If it is this app, that’s a whole game lost thanks to this app. Also please fix the zooming, it’s horrible, super choppy. I need a smooth zoom in and out. Also make it so that you can upload footage from the camera roll in Hudl by mobile. For now, Hudl gets 1 star due to the upload malfunction, and the zooming. Please fix it and maybe I’ll move the rating up.

App constantly crashes at start up

2022-07-24

Can’t get Hudl to stay open on iPhone 11 Pro Max. Crashes consistently on startup. Deleted and reinstalled. Same result. Rebooted phone, same result. The software is super clunky when it does work (1:200). It’s easier to find film of other schools or athletes than our own. I get kids like to be voyeristic and see what others are doing, but the home should keep them from click bait so they do what we need them to do as coaches - watch film and get better.

We have to recommend to players to use the desktop version so that we know all features are working. Otherwise they don’t watch or we get bombed with questions of this and that.

Too Glichy

2022-08-25

Ok so I don’t know if it’s just my phone or what but whenever I open Hudl then login the whole screen burs and it just goes dark it doesn’t shut off or anything but you can’t do anything then sometimes there is just a random logout button in the middle of the screen and whenever I click it Hudl shuts off and brings me to my home screen. Yeah I know there is a website but thats not working either. Whenever I login to that it doesn’t show any buttons it just showed featured videos that I could scroll down and watch. So my experience wasn’t very pleasing and I know I was on stable wifi and my account is official. Anyways I just feel like I can’t win and this app just doesn’t want me logging in.👎

Stat tracking for Football is awful

2022-09-26

First off I went through and updated all of the players and the tagging still couldn’t get it right. Then if you make a mistake and finish a play you have no way to go back and change the plays or cancel a pat if the touchdown is called back late. I’ve had it crash in the middle of a game and not allow me to get back to the game I was tagging. When you finish a game, you no longer have access to the stats in Hudl , you have to figure out the correct feed link and go out to the web page to get them.

Not good yet

2022-10-27

Uploading videos is spotty at best and doesn’t always finish. I’ve done several test uploads and the last video clip never finishes so on the desktop browser library, it shows the processing running circle. If I don’t have cell service on my iPad and am at a track meet and want to upload my videos once I have WiFi, what is the best way to do that?

Also, when I try to replay the video I just took with my athlete for immediate correction before their next attempt, the playback feature is jumpy and I miss some frames during the frame by frame analysis. After trying to drag the scrubber several times, I’m finally able to get the video to the frame I want. If there is a way your developers can increase the frame rate or buffer rate for immediate playback without mobile upload, that would be great.

The app isn’t as good as the computer

2022-11-28

I love what this app does for our program and athletics as a whole. The platform is great, and gets the job done as well as anything else.

The problem is Hudl on mobile devices. Seems every update makes it lag more and more. I don’t need it to be fancy, I need it to get the job done. Specifically, I need Hudl to open and work the first time, not the 5th time. I need the menu options to work when I click them rather than freeze and require me to close out of Hudl . I need the film to roll when I start a game (I download it, so internet isn’t an issue for watching). The bugs in Hudl are so bad that having Hudl is almost pointless as an option. Fix the bugs, and this is no doubt the best app in the store.

Like everything else with Hudl, it’s good sometimes and disappoints at others.

2022-12-29

Ease of use is good. I like some of the features they have in Hudl . I wish there was an easy way to add plays to a cutup while in Hudl , but it’s not a deal breaker.
I use the this app App on my iPad Pro. Everything works fine until I connect it to my overhead with HDMI using my Apple Model A2119 dongle. When I do this, I end up getting two plays at once on the screen. It almost looks like picture-in-picture. I completely obstructs the view of the play we’re trying to show. I have stopped using the this app app and instead use the website now, but this is very inconvenient.
I’ve tried to contact support, but have not been successful in getting a response.

Underwhelms at times

2023-01-30

this app, when working well, can be useful. They are slow to address bugs, like the playbook corrupting your installs. It’s hard to send our athletes to this app when we can’t trust the data. There are also inconsistencies with how this app works on a mobile device vs. how it works on a laptop. I wish I could do everything I want to in both formats, but unfortunately, I can’t. I also wish the video still shared the breakdown data with the athletes. We had to find a work around for this to help the athletes with their video review. Overall, this app is ok, but it seems like they are more concerned with selling their this app Assist services than providing a stable platform for schools to use for their programs.

Update 5.62 Seems to have changed view perspective

2023-03-03

Has anyone else noticed that the most recent update appears to have changed the field of view when recording? Our team has used this app all season, and always uses the same iPad device and same wide angle lens from back line of volleyball court, but now all of a sudden with that same set up, the view of the court when recording is totally different, less of the court is visible. It was so different in fact that we had to switch to a fish I lens, which we knew would distort a bit, but what we saw through the iPad viewfinder was completely different than what was actually recorded and how it appears on play back.

Video freezes on upload and Hudl tech is helpless

2023-04-01

I have been trying to film games and upload them using this app app. I can sit in my classroom connected to WiFi and record large segments of video and they upload. I go out to the field and film without WiFi and when I come back to school to upload it always freezes. I have deleted and redownloaded Hudl , in the fall I did this for football with zero problems. After the last updates to Hudl it continually freezes. Unfortunately I use my schools tech and they won’t let us use iTunes on our laptop.

Data Entry in App

2023-05-03

It’s be nice if we could ODK clips in “mass quantity” through Hudl . For example: select clips and make them all Offense. Select certain clips for Defense and Special Teams. Instead of doing it one by one on a computer. Entering data on Hudl isn’t possible. But holy cow it’d be sweet if we could!! At the very least the quarters, ODK, Hash and other things that are clear by looking at the thumbnail. I tried to find a way to reach development, but was striking out. Hopefully they see this and can make it happen…???

Gear when it works but......

2023-06-03

They don’t seem to be able to keep the bugs out of this thing. It doesn’t seem to matter if you use Hudl or web browsers, there’s alway something freezing up. This is a complex program and it’s rather confusing to learn how the features work. Need to hire someone to improve and better organize documentation. It’s even more confusing trying to go back and forth between the mobile app and browser versions as the functionality is different. Hudl also seems to work better in some browsers than others. As at least one other reviewer mentioned, It’s rather disappointing that this app has effectively turned their backs on youth sports by jacking up the annual pricing from $99 to a minimum of $400. I did video for my sons teams for 4 years and the subscription came out of my pocket not the teams. Apparently because they have been so successful at the high school & college level, they don’t care about the youth sports markets anymore.

TIME STAMPING!!!

2023-07-05

I love this app and its breakdowns. The film that it provides is top-notch. The quality is consistent so I can always see what’s going on in a game. I have ONE problem with this app. I pause this app and leave Hudl and every time I come back to it, it restarts the film that I was watching to the beginning (0:00). This is really annoying to deal with especially when I’m preparing for a game, to try and guess where I was in the film. I end up starting from the beginning which wastes so much time. I really hope this app can fix this major issue.

Pretty good

2023-08-05

Overall this app is a great app that allows me as a player to see my mistakes and improve on them. Hudl is pretty good but there are some difficult parts. For example making a highlight reel can be difficult and frustrating, I made a 4 minute highlight tape that took 6 hours to make. Hole it did turn out well it took a very long time to produce. Another challenge in Hudl is managing your timeline. It’s difficult to delete highlights already uploaded and to pin videos. But overall this app is great.

Great options and info wish it had hitting tendencies for mobile (volleyball)

2023-09-06

This is for volleyball. I appreciate Hudl . The reports and ease of uploading (although through safari) is user friendly and a great tool.

The one thing I would include if possible, is the hitting tendencies that is available on the desktop and for some reason not available on Hudl . Or even mobile internet (safari).

Most of our coaches are mostly utilizing the convenience of having the information on our phones. It also lets our players see near instantly via app. The hitting tendencies would be something we would use a lot on the go. Whether during breaks at school or at the tournament. Unfortunately this feature is only available on the desktop.

I hope that gets added in the near future.

Sound Bug But Good

2023-10-08

Everything I’ve had to do on Hudl has worked fine other than two things. One if you were watching film and were to fast forward or rewind I’ll little in the film the sound of the film would be delayed with the video for a couple seconds(long enough to notice it.) Two the film may freeze every once in a while of go down in video quality but other than that I’m pretty happy with Hudl lately.

I need help with the app

2023-11-08

First off this app is an amazing tool and is very easy to use but unfortunately I think I have a bug in my app on my phone because anytime I click on Hudl I cannot use Hudl it will simply go to a black screen then immediately back to my home screen and I cannot find anything on Hudl support to help with this

Great team app

2023-12-10

Idk what most people talk about sure it’s a bit expensive and it will glitch like one out of a hundred times you open Hudl but it works great you can text your teammates from Hudl you can take your best plays and turn them into awesome highlights also if you are a coach you can see which players are actually using Hudl and which ones are slackers my coach has called a few dudes out n my team for not watching film but Hudl works great!!!

Season Highlights

2024-01-10

I read where someone said making highlights is difficult and time consuming. I would only agree that is true on my iOS devices. The key to creating a highlight is capturing the top plays immediately after each game which is simple on iOS. This cuts down on going through each game at the mid or end season points. This is where I find it difficult adding music (which is actually only for the general public. Coaches and recruiters find it distracting) and making the final season highlight video with other cool this app features.

Hudl service fails to deliver

2024-12-11

I’ve been on this app for a few years, never has it been a tool I can use.
Coaches don’t respond, videos aren’t made available, nothing seems to be accessible with out approval from assignors or coaches which rarely happens.
Hudl should be a lot more accessible to “members.” I don’t need highlights. I need a tool to study film as it relates to penalty’s that were called.
Coaches complain about penalties all the time, let us see them so we can critique our flags and get better at administering the game.
If we as officials work a particular game, at the very least, we should have the automatic right to review that game.

Way too buggy for Iphone Xs Max

2024-12-11

this app is such a great platform and is amazing when it works properly! Their are way to many bugs for the iPhone xs Max you are better off using your computer. Whenever you try and slide the time bar during a video of film your iphone will register as if your are trying to swipe between application and exit Hudl . Also whenever a video begins to play whether it's on your profile or in your feed the entire app will freeze and will only play the video and not respond at all.

Huge pet peeve is I cannot stand when you try to update a highlight or edit it and once you are done instead of allowing you to go ahead and just save it and add it, it forces you to post it as if you’re keep reposting and notifying everyone of the same highlight. Definitely room for improvement on Hudl but right now it’s the only thing available.

I also liked being able to hear the sound as was previously available. It needs to be incorporated again.

I do like the G backgrounds and themes. Very sharp and adds variety.

I also liked to be able to add a slide with a picture embedded in the title page. Also needs to be able to add text on several lines instead of trying to fit measurables on two lines of text.

It’s good for our development

2024-12-11

For me as an athlete it helps me improve from every mistake I make throughout the night to improve me as an athlete. This summer I watched all of my game film and took my summer practices to advantage and am now doing great. From a person scoring 3 points all season last year to now having 25 in just 3 games it’s good thank you this app team for your incredible app and hope you guys keep up the good work

Awesome

2024-12-11

I think this app is a great way to find the mistakes you made in film and that you can watch what you did wrong as try to get better instead of making more mistakes and it’s s great way to stay in contact with other players, and also to find more techniques from other players who have been in football for years for some that haven’t played at all.

Great App with wonderful customer support

2024-12-11

Hudl has changed my ability to get stats in on time, create highlight reels for my players looking to play in college and saves me time. The customer support is amazing when I have questions or I encounter a problem. They respond very efficiently and have a great solution or way to help me work through getting the information I need.

Hurl is great but one bug

2024-12-11

I've been using husk for years and it's great, but I've published highlights in the past and for some reason now when I go to publish it brings up the edit page and it says publish but won't allow me to actually edit the highlight and publish it. I don't know if it's my device or a glitch in Hudl , but needs to be fixed

I've typically had good experience, but we have had issues where member accounts get deleted mysteriously and they cannot explain why. They just provide canned response like your Admin or Coaches deleted you. I am one of the Admins and I can assure you I did not delete myself nor did any other Admin. I had to re-register and then lost access to all my video playlists. I asked them to restore and they gave me a canned response you just need to have someone manually share the playlists again. But we're talking thousands of playlists that would have to be shared manually. There support has a lot of room for improvement. Very frustrated with HUDL's product - don't even seem to care that a bug was reported that significantly impacts their customer.

Their support sucks. They don't have a phone number and you can only contact them by e-mail. On my issue, they sent me back basically a canned response and a link to look at their tutorial. Which I did...but my screen and their tutorial didn't match up so I couldn't do what their tutorial said to do. I e-mailed them back several times explaining this and would get the same response. They need to have a phone number where someone can call and have them walk through my issue so we can figure it out! Very disappointed. Might as well not have a support team is all they do is give you a link to the tutorial. I basically already did this by you tubing the same information and it, of course, didn't help me one bit either. Let's be a big boy company and support your product with people that can actually talk with you through an issue, and not just e-mail you a canned response saying the same thing over and over.
