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 responded they will not be allocating resources to correcting the issue. While the work around takes much longer- hours- it is what it is. If you want speed for uploading videos and sending to Hudl assist- use your phone. If you can be far enough away, the 1x zoom isn’t an issue- indoor volleyball use your phone or record to the iPad and upload. Hudl’s response: We appreciate you taking the time to troubleshoot with us, and we do apologize we weren't able to resolve the issue. We've determined we'll no longer be delegating resources to fixing the issue at this time. We'll still track this defect, and make note of any future requests for it, but we wanted to let you know of its current state. We understand this could be frustrating, but we want to make sure we're transparent with our users who've reached out about defects, and that we're doing our part in setting realistic expectations. Update: Hudl told me they are working on an update yo correct this, but there were other updates that took precedence. That’s fine. However, I now have 4 hour long volleyball games that are over an hour each to upload - As I was told by Hudl to record to record directly yo my iPad. However, the uploads continue to crash because the Hudl application can’t seem to handle to upload- so I am here to let everyone know. Original: Something was updated last year that defaults iPad videoing to Hudl to a 1x zoom. For indoor volleyball, this makes it pointless to use the Hudl app on an iPad to record games, because the video is too zoomed in to see the entire court. This does not happen with iPhone or if I record video directly to my iPad. I have called support and they don’t know how to fix the problem.
