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.
A slow-motion video analysis app for coaches and athletes, on iOS and Android, shut down on 1 September 2021. It started life as Ubersense, one of the two apps that defined the category in the 2010s alongside Coach's Eye, and took its Hudl Technique name after Hudl bought it.
What made it the default recommendation was the free tier. Without paying anything you could film a swing, a lift or a vault, play it back slowly, step through it a frame at a time, draw angle lines and reference marks over the picture, and put two clips side by side to compare an athlete against themselves or against a model. Rival tools charged for most of that.
Ubersense before the Hudl rebrand. Old forum posts and coaching guides use both names for the same app, which is why searches for either land in the same place.
Technique work in golf, gymnastics, weightlifting, swimming, baseball and racket sports: film one attempt, review it slowly with the athlete, mark up what to change.
Gone. Delisted from both app stores, no updates since 2021, no sign-in. OnForm owns the use case now, on subscription.
Ubersense, one of the two big slow-motion analysis apps of the 2010s alongside Coach's Eye, was acquired by Hudl and rebranded. It kept a generous free tier: slow motion, frame stepping, drawing, side-by-side comparison.
OnForm acquired the app 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.
Coach's Eye, the other analysis app of that era, went the same way, though it was TechSmith's app rather than Hudl's: retired in September 2022, then rebuilt from scratch by an unrelated company, Gym Art Inc., which lists it on both stores as of July 2026. Same pattern in both cases, legacy coaching apps changing hands, and in neither case do the old accounts, purchases or libraries come back. See our Coach's Eye alternative guide for that side of the story.
Timeline per OnForm's acquisition announcement. Last verified 2026-07-27.
Most 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, sold on a monthly subscription in 2026. See ReplayR vs OnForm for the full comparison.
The app'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.
No. The app was pulled from the App Store and Google Play when it shut down on 1 September 2021, so it cannot be installed or reinstalled, and it does not reappear in your purchase history on a new phone. An old copy left on a device you never wiped may still launch, but it has had no compatibility work since 2021 and breaks on current versions of Android and iOS. If a listing claims to offer it today, it is not the original.
Yes. OnForm acquired the 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 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). 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 Technique did. ReplayR's free tier covers capture: 45 second rolling buffer, Wear OS save, slow-motion review, trim, all on-device, and its one-time Pro unlock adds frame-by-frame stepping and drawing on a frame, which is the part of Technique most coaches used daily. Your phone's built-in slow-mo camera covers casual clips. Side-by-side comparison and voice-over at their old level moved behind OnForm's subscription.
Rolling buffer, watch save, slow-motion review. One-time Pro unlock, no subscription, no account.
