Not once have I watched a game the entire way through without the game dropping. ### 2/5 — Ads Galore *2026-03-21, version 2.29.0* The app loads a 30 second ad every time it opens. What a joke. ### 2/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-03-20* The app search doesn’t pull up the games 80% of the time. Don’t offer an app for Roku, Apple TV, etc. if you can even see all the upcoming games. We can never find the games with search. Also, the app on the iPhone won’t cast to the tv- so you can’t even do that. Really clunky app and doesn’t work most of the time. Expensive subscription for something that barely works. Customer service is even worse and not helpful. ### 1/5 — I'm trapped *2026-01-25, version 2.29.0* It won't let me delete it ### 1/5 — Worst streaming *2026-01-10, version 2.29.0* The streaming never works. Always glitches, freezes, or just keeps trying to load. This app is complete trash. ### 1/5 — 👎🏾 *2026-01-06, version 2.29.0* The app doesn’t even show the score board and doesn’t have any sound when watching a game on livestream! ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-12-27, version 2.29.0* Paid to watch PPV varsity basketball tournament. $45 + $20 "service fee." Picture during gameplay freezes every 10 seconds or so on iOS app and on app on my Sony tv. Crystal clear commercials though. Had an identical experience one year ago for same tournament. Already requested a refund. ### 2/5 — Garbage *2025-12-16, version 2.28.0* Cant cast direct video sucks ### 1/5 — Fail *2025-12-13, version 2.28.0* For as much as they charge for a subscription you’d think the app would have a top notch experience. Not so. Super buggy and crashes constantly. Smart TV app for google tv is terrible too. Do better Hudl!!! ### 1/5 — Zero customer support *2025-12-09, version 2.28.0* Go to your school board and advocate for a better choice. Hudl isn’t cutting it. ### 1/5 — Absolutely awful *2025-11-19, version 2.27.0* This app is absolutely awful. I sure hope improvements are in the works soon. GUI is atrocious, not user friendly, buggy, and lags if you actually find what you’re looking for. The constant ads crash the stream and skipping the ads doesnt work. ### 1/5 — Practice videos *2025-11-14, version 2.26.0* I cannot watch videos that are in my library on my phone only allowed to watch it on a computer can’t watch videos on phone unless payed for ### 1/5 — Horrible waste of time *2025-11-11, version 2.25.0* The app rarely shows correct game info, no matter what school I am trying to watch. And good luck actually getting to watch something live. It’s sad that schools and families rely on this app ### 2/5 — Quality of Highlight Videos Diminishing *2025-10-26* I have been using Hudl to keep up with my grandsons’ football games for several years. In the past, Highlight videos have been of good quality until this year. There are fewer video clips, even for games with many memorable moments. The most recent highlight video had 4 clips, with only one of them of the winning team, in a game where the final score was 35-21. Highlights films from previous years, had as many as 7 clips. Also, unlike previous years, there were no offensive or defensive leaders’ stats, no screen with total yardage information, and no Player of the Game. I used to look forward to the highlight videos every week. It was a great way to share game results with friends and family who were unable to attend the games. I am no longer sharing them. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-25* The potential in this app is great. However, it is not user friendly and has so many limitations. For example. Can’t cast to a tv as they have locked it down so you are forced to watch live games on a phone. Then when trying to download the app on the tv, not all functions are available, can only search schools and clubs, not players and there is no favorite option to select your preferred favourites. Lots of links to iron out of this still. ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2025-10-11, version 2.23.0* Garbage app that’s hard to locate your team. Garbage feed that keeps lagging and randomly rewinding. ### 1/5 — Glitchy and unwatchable *2025-10-11, version 2.23.0* It worked for almost a garter with only two crashes then it was nonstop. Like replays then crash. Tried multiple devices and I have gigabit internet so that’s not the issue. Annoyed I paid for a game I should get a refund ### 1/5 — Frustration *2025-10-04, version 2.23.0* Been using this app for years watching my kids in sports. It hasn’t gotten any better. The constant buffering, freezing, refreshing makes me want to pull my hair out. ### 2/5 — Let down *2025-10-04* The app is extremely inconsistent with being able to view games. For the team I like to follow, I usually can’t get a game to play, trying from multiple devices, until late in the first quarter. I have to normally find the game through the opposing teams HUDL page as it is not listed on the home teams page. Tonight the stream stopped at halftime. I like the thought of this app and am more than willing to pay to watch my nephew play from afar if I can expect some reliability. Also, I can only airplay the game to a tv from the website and not the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ts is buns *2026-06-18, version 2.29.0* Nothing works ### 1/5 — Impossible to find games that you purchase. *2026-05-01* Purchased conference baseball tournament pass. I can see it in my purchase history but there is no link to get to the livestream from my order history and searching for the tournament or teams and then looking under livestream is pointless. You will only be able to watch games if you have a link, which will pull the game up in a browser…… so what is the point of the app?!!!! Support, both chat bot and e-mail, is of no help. They will just confirm that you made a purchase and tell you what you should be able to see without actually telling you how to get to the game(s) in the app. Just use your browser and save yourself the trouble of trying to use the app. Worst app I have ever downloaded. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-04-25* Our Club uses this program and I will be voting against it moving forward. The fan app is garbage, needs so much work, a lot of potential for it to be great but clearly not investing in fixing issues! ### 1/5 — Poor quality *2026-04-18* Streaming continues to time out and is only available hours after an event. Useless ### 1/5 — Almost useless *2026-04-11* Occasionally I will be able to find a stream and it will work. Forget rewinding on the Apple TV app. For some reason the click to rewind 10 or 15s capability is missing unlike every other app I have ever used. And the scroll to rewind is basically useless. Good concept but poor execution. ### 1/5 — Buffering!!! *2026-04-10, version 2.29.0* Can’t watch live streams. It plays a few seconds and then sits there buffering. ### 1/5 — Extremely unforgiving app *2026-03-12* Accidentally purchased the wrong game passes and it has no option to fix the problem. ### 1/5 — Poor quality app that’s required for high school sports *2026-03-03* Really poor interface for saving and displaying favorite teams. Search is horrible as it doesn’t use the default Apple keyboard. Streams don’t show up until after they’ve started. Just overall a horrible experience ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-21, version 2.29.0* It doesn’t have live games available, searching and finding teams is terrible. The website works much better but still won’t let you airplay to a TV. Not sure why anyone Hudl is used as none of their features work and you have to pay $10.00 to watch a game yet it’s terrible coverage. ### 1/5 — Rball3 *2026-02-08, version 2.29.0* This app is glitchy, shuts down, very seldom works, might be free, but not worth it if it never performs as promised ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-12-23* I use Hudl all the time to watch my film for games and i love how it is free and there are like no adds. I can watch games from all over the country and i can favorite other players. This app has always been great to me! ### 5/5 — Getting better *2025-08-24* Little rough around the edges last year but noticeable improvements this year. ### 5/5 — Thank you for making free 😁 *2025-04-09, version 2.14.0* I’m play for Roosevelt high school in Des Moines and saw my clips, and upload to my grandmother in Africa and she love it. ❤️ try this app please ### 5/5 — Help *2024-10-15* We want to watch our granddaughter play soccer but keep getting told we need an additional subscription - What? How? Help? (Note: we are old people) ### 5/5 — Thoughts from an old geezer… *2024-02-16* In my day I didn’t grow up with all this techno stuff. A black and white television was as technical as things got. This is an AWE⚡️some app. Like the description says…, its got it!!! I found its even got a bunch of my grandson’s personal game highlights and stats. RE🔥markable‼️ A💥mazing‼️ OUT☄️standing‼️ And… it’s EASY to use‼️ ### 5/5 — Great for following my old high school! *2023-08-25* I love having a single place I can get the schedule and all of the video for my alma mater’s sporting events. ### 4/5 — SEEMS LIKE VICTORY *2025-04-07, version 2.14.0* Back in the eighties’ we never had stuff like this ### 4/5 — 🏈 *2024-09-28* Love this app! It’s everything it claims to be, only complaint I have too many commercials (I know someone has to pay so it’s free) plus it blackout a lot! BUT it allows me to was my grandson back in Iowa while I’m 1500 miles away ### 4/5 — Not bad, could use improvements *2024-03-10* I like it for the most part, but a small nitpick would be the ability to see how many views an athlete has, and to also sort athletes by views. I’m able to do that on the website, so it’d be a nice qol to the app imo. ### 4/5 — Great app, limited usage *2023-10-18* Awesome app to watch high school sports live. Wishing it was available to add to my Apple TV to watch on larger screens. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
