TL;DR. Hudl Technique (the app formerly known as Ubersense) was acquired by OnForm and discontinued on 1 September 2021. It is gone from the app stores and unsupported. In 2026 the replacement depends on how you used it: OnForm inherited the drawing and side-by-side analysis (subscription), while a rolling-buffer capture app like ReplayR covers filming and on-the-spot review, free, offline, and without an account.
Ubersense, one of the two big slow-motion analysis apps of the 2010s alongside Coach's Eye, was acquired by Hudl and rebranded as Hudl Technique. It kept a generous free tier: slow motion, frame stepping, drawing, side-by-side comparison.
OnForm acquired Hudl Technique and its user base from Hudl. The app was discontinued on 1 September 2021. OnForm provided a migration tool for video libraries and gave paid Technique customers two free months of OnForm.
Hudl also retired Coach's Eye, the other analysis app of that era. By 2022 both of the classic slow-motion coaching apps were gone, which is why "hudl technique" and "coach's eye" searches now land on successor and alternative pages. See our Coach's Eye alternative guide for that side of the story.
Timeline per OnForm's acquisition announcement. Last verified 2026-07-19.
Most Hudl Technique sessions were really capture sessions: film the swing, the vault, the lift, show the athlete, move on. A rolling buffer does this job better than Technique ever did. ReplayR records continuously into temporary memory; tap the phone, your Wear OS watch, or raise an open palm and the last 45 seconds (up to 12 minutes with Pro) are saved as a normal MP4, ready in slow motion. Free tier, one-time Pro unlock, no account, footage never leaves the device.
OnForm is the literal successor: it bought the app, the users, and the use case. Angles, lines, frame-by-frame stepping, side-by-side against a reference clip, voice-over, coach-athlete threads. It is subscription software, from $9.99 per month for individuals in 2026. See ReplayR vs OnForm for the full comparison.
Hudl Technique's record-then-analyse model had a quiet cost: someone had to press record before the moment, and someone had to scrub through everything afterwards. Phone cameras, storage, and watches improved around that model. A rolling buffer flips it: the camera is always recording, and you decide after the fact which seconds were worth keeping. Nothing to anticipate, nothing to scrub. The analysis half of Technique moved to OnForm's subscription; the capture half is now better served by purpose-built buffer apps.
Yes. OnForm acquired the Hudl Technique app and its user base from Hudl in 2021, and the app was discontinued on 1 September 2021. It is no longer available in the app stores and receives no updates. Existing users were offered a migration tool to move their video library into OnForm.
During the transition OnForm offered a migration tool that moved Hudl Technique libraries into OnForm accounts, and paid Technique customers received two free months of OnForm. If you never migrated, footage that lived only in the Technique cloud is unlikely to be recoverable; clips saved to your phone's gallery are still yours.
Depends on which half of the app you used. For slow-motion analysis with drawing and side-by-side comparison, OnForm is the direct successor (subscription, from $9.99 per month). For filming training and reviewing attempts on the spot, a rolling-buffer capture app like ReplayR is the better fit: free tier, one-time Pro unlock, works fully offline with no account.
No single free app covers everything Hudl Technique did. ReplayR's free tier covers capture: 45 second rolling buffer, Wear OS save, slow-motion review, trim, all on-device. Your phone's built-in slow-mo camera covers casual clips. Free drawing-and-compare analysis at Hudl Technique's old level effectively moved behind OnForm's subscription.
