Hudl

First of all, I like Hudl a lot. It’s very well developed and it works very well for the most part. However, there is one thing that bothers me, sometimes when I try to watch a player’s highlights, sometimes there would be another video playing simultaneously of the actual video I want to watch. So what happens is that multiple different sounds of two different videos kind of coincide or play multiple different sounds simultaneously which gets really annoying and it makes it hard for me to hear or focus on the sound (music less generically) that are playing in the video I want to watch. However, outside of what I stated above, that’s probably the only thing I would fix. On the other hand, Keep up the great work

They don’t seem to be able to keep the bugs out of this thing. It doesn’t seem to matter if you use the app 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. The app also seems to work better in some browsers than others. As at least one other reviewer mentioned, It’s rather disappointing that Hudl 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.

Hudl, 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 Hudl when we can’t trust the data. There are also inconsistencies with how Hudl 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, Hudl is ok, but it seems like they are more concerned with selling their Hudl Assist services than providing a stable platform for schools to use for their programs.

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 the app closes out randomly. I try to re-open the app 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 the app itself. If it is hudl, that’s a whole game lost thanks to hudl. 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 the app by mobile. For now, this app gets 1 star due to the upload malfunction, and the zooming. Please fix it and maybe I’ll move the rating up.

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.
