### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-10, version 8.7.0*

This app is terrible. The video would not load for a long time. After it finally did load and start playing it only lasted a few minutes before freezing up. The audio cuts outs. It gets stuck in an endless loop of ads. To get it to work at all you have to edit the app and go back in. When you go back in you get to watch the ads all over again for several minutes. I missed way more of the event that I tried to watch than I actually saw

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-06-06, version 8.6.0*

Literally can’t watch a video without it stopping and buffering. I have great connection and have 0 problems on all of the other apps. If you are needing to watch film for a sport this is the worst app to have.

### 3/5 — Great but fix deleting

*2026-06-05, version 8.6.0*

I was testing the system and just added my teammates serves on my profile, planning to delete it. I CANT DELETE IT! NO MATTER WHAT! I ASKED CUSTOMER SERVICE AI AND ITS SO CLUELESS AND TELLS ME ITS DELETED WHEN MY FRIENDS CAN SEE IT! FIX NOW

### 1/5 — 昔の方が使いやすかった

*2026-06-01*

アプデするたびに新しいバグが発生してる、早く修正して欲しい

### 1/5 — Changed App👎

*2026-05-26, version 8.2.0*

New update to the app makes it unusable. It used to be awesome to access film on the go away from a computer but now it isn’t sorted the way it always has been.  I don’t understand why they would mess with a good thing.

### 1/5 — Interface is terrible

*2026-05-23, version 8.2.0*

They somehow made the app look and feel worse with the new update. Impressive!

### 4/5 — 🏀

*2026-05-20, version 8.1.0*

Add ai or something so you can ask questions about stats and the game, and keep me logged in I don’t wanna type in a password every time

### 2/5 — Impossible de mettre en grand format sur iPhone

*2026-05-18*

Depuis la dernière mise à jour impossible de mettre les vidéos sur téléphone en grand format on ne voit plus rien

### 1/5 — Latest update is horrible

*2026-05-17, version 8.1.0*

Did you test this before releasing it? App stops recording spontaneously, screen gets clipped out during sessions, overall a horrible update.

### 1/5 — Playoff game gone 👎

*2026-05-16, version 8.1.0*

App was working fine until this last update. One of the last  games for many seniors, app crashed several times, UI bugs and then video is gone when I tried to upload what was recorded. Some really upset players and parents…

### 1/5 — Update

*2026-05-13, version 8.0.1*

New update completely ruined the app

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2026-05-12, version 8.0.1*

Whenever I clip on the film it takes me out of the app

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2026-05-12, version 8.0.1*

if i could leave 0 stars i would… i’ve spent an hour waiting for it to allow me to upload a profile and all it does is freeze. My profile is left as a small piece of the background and won’t let me move the photo around. i’m very disappointed because hudl is great but it won’t even let me watch my film until i upload a profile photo? so dumb…

### 2/5 — 改善してください。

*2026-05-12*

アプリ内で動画を視聴している際、アプリが時々落ちてしまうことがあって、非常に煩わしいです。

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-05-12, version 8.0.1*

I have updated the app uninstalled, and re-downloaded every time I try and view the film it immediately kicks me out and I can’t watch film

*2026-05-11*

### 1/5 — Constant Crash

*2026-05-11*

Bad app. Crashes everytime.

### 2/5 — Dommage impossible de mettre en plein écran

*2026-05-10*

Dommage, Impossible de pivoter les vidéos en format horizontal sur iPhone, du coup on ne voit rien.

### 2/5 — Never works properly

*2026-05-10, version 8.0.1*

Don’t get it twisted, when this app works it’s amazing but I swear every time I try to use it it’ll either sign me out repeatedly, go to a black screen eternally, or whenever I try to go to a video the app crashes. I don’t know what is wrong with it but it’s gotten so annoying now that I wrote this review.

### 1/5 — Major issues since upgrade May 10.

*2026-05-10*

Great app but needs fixing asap. Scoring cuts out, livestream quits… please fix bugs. Has to u install and reinstall. Very cumbersome right now

### 1/5 — The new hudl is so bad

*2026-08-20*

terrible

### 1/5 — Tagging from IPad

*2026-08-15, version 8.20.0*

Today, 08/15/2026 I just spent time tagging our high school football game.  The app just dropped out at least four different times during my tagging.  I was able to resume each time, however, when I hit the finish and uploaded into HUDL I got a surprise.  I checked my data and four of my columns contain all zeroes as the data.  The other 10plus columns have absolutely no data in them.  I spent 15min following the A.I. Bot but none of the solutions worked.  I am hoping I can speak with a live rep on Monday.  As with some of the other Coaches who shared reviews, I have used HUDL for years and this is very disappointing.  Hopefully they can listen to their customers and resolve our issues.

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-08-10, version 8.19.0*

My app won’t even work on my I phone. Everything is updated (including iPhone software) , but I push the app and it just briefly flashes on and then it shuts off.

### 1/5 — Where’s my team account?

*2026-08-04, version 8.18.0*

### 1/5 — Need help

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-07-13, version 8.13.0*

### 1/5 — Latest update not very good

*2026-07-12*

Can’t rotate in app on iPad and cannot magnify

### 1/5 — Dog water

*2026-07-08, version 8.11.0*

This app was awesome. 
Amazing. Great. 

Now it is just completely broken. No functionality whatsoever. Completely useless and doesn’t even load. They attempted to “improve” the app and made it infinitely worse.

### 1/5 — App is getting worse

*2026-07-05, version 8.10.0*

The app updates continue to ruin a good thing.  

Recently updated my app and now the film glitches and freezes on iPad and iPhone.  Playlists have to be constantly refreshed.  

This is coming from a coach who has been here from day one of HUDL, fix this!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-06-13, version 7.88.1*

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-05-09, version 8.0.1*

Helps with preparing for another team or mistakes we made on the football field

### 5/5 — The app

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-02-16, version 7.79.0*

It’s a really good app and helps me watch my highlights or other teams or study for games and all around a great app

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2025-12-30, version 7.73.0*

I love this app It really helps when I watch film.

### 5/5 — Amazing when I am able to log in

*2025-10-21*

When I try to log in my iPhone uses safari to take me to the log in area. When I click on log in and try a few times it goes to a page that says this application has become really popular and has reached the available rate limit for now and then it says try again later. This problem has been a thing since August. The difference is when I go to a laptop to watch film it works or when I delete the app and go to google for watching film on my phone it also works, the only problem is the app hasn’t worked since August. I value your app a lot so please fix.

### 5/5 — One problem

*2025-09-21, version 7.59.0*

The app is amazing. I love the highlights I make, but one small problem. When I try to delete a highlight, IT WILL NOT LET ME LEAVE. It says, “Continue editing” or “Discard changes”, and I try to exit out of the app it’s still there. Please fix this issue.

### 5/5 — 67
