TL;DR. Coach's Eye was retired by Hudl in March 2022; Hudl Technique is the supported replacement. ReplayR and Hudl Technique solve different jobs. ReplayR is a capture app — rolling buffer, watch save, hand-gesture save, swipe-to-keep — built so you never miss a moment and never scrub through dead footage. Hudl Technique is an analysis app — frame-by-frame drawing, side-by-side compare, voice-over. ReplayR captures only what mattered; Hudl Technique annotates what you already filmed. Pick by job-to-be-done.

The cleanest workflow if you do both: capture with ReplayR, analyze in Hudl Technique. ReplayR's exported clips are standard MP4 — drop them straight into the analysis tool of your choice. You stop wasting storage on dead footage and only annotate plays worth annotating.
ReplayR is free for the core capture loop (45 s or 90 s buffer, full Wear OS companion, stealth, swipe review, trim editor). Coach's Eye was retired by Hudl in March 2022; Hudl Technique is its successor under Hudl's pricing. ReplayR Pro is a one-time unlock — no subscription.
No. ReplayR focuses on capture-and-review. Hudl Technique targets frame-by-frame analysis. Different jobs.
ReplayR. The rolling buffer holds only the last 45 s–12 min and rotates 5-second chunks; nothing reaches the gallery until you save and export.
Yes — exports are standard MP4. Share to Hudl, Drive, Photos, anywhere.
