Take two videos of the same athlete and view them side-by-side to look at how they’ve improved.
Teachers and coaches can log in to Hudl with a username and password to import classless and rosters for easy sharing. Also, users may browse videos and provide feedback.

Teachers, coaches, instructors can add comments, angles, and voiceovers to videos prior to sharing with an individual athlete or student.
Teachers, coaches, and players can get a closer look at what went wrong and how to improve. The app can be used to support the learning process on the field or in the gym. The application allows for: Slow-Motion Playback Hudl Technique Supports the Learning Process
It is also an online community that users can join in order to become more involved in technique improvement. The software can be used on an iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or Android device to record and break down technique for instant feedback during class, practice or a game. Very clever indeed.Hudl Technique is an iOS and Android app used to improve athletic performance through slow motion video analysis. Tesco has been very clever here: compromises have had to be made, so the company has concentrated on the areas that matter most, producing a tablet that’s thoroughly enjoyable to use, at an accessible price. It covers the basics and then some, and it does them well. However, many shortcomings are easier to swallow at this price, and for the average user the Tesco Hudl tablet will prove itself to be a great multimedia tablet. You can touch the screen to focus it, but you wouldn’t know a lot of the time, as images are regularly slightly blurry and lacking sharpness.īrightly lit scenes will come out the best, though – it fared much better outdoors – and the same goes for the front-facing camera, which is pretty grainy once the light dips anything below the best. The 3-megapixel camera is no great shakes.
If you can get by on 50 per cent brightness, you’re more likely to get closer to a full day of use. A little more punch and excitement wouldn’t go amiss either.īattery life falls just a little short of the advertised nine hours of video, but that could be because we had the screen whacked up to full brightness the whole time. However, it lacks the precision heard in big-hitters such as the new iPad Mini with Retina Display, and can sound confused with complicated sections of music. We recommend using headphones for extended listening sessions or watching movies.ĭo that, and tonally, it’s well balanced and doesn’t sound harsh in the treble or overly bassy at any point. It seems rather an oversight, then, that the Hudl’s stereo speakers are in the exact places your hands go. You can use the Hudl in portrait orientation, but it’s optimised set up for landscape use – as the positioning of its logo and the rear camera suggest.
Using the Hudl throws up no real dramas – it’s snappy enough, and moving around menus and apps doesn’t trouble it one bit.īrowsing, movie streaming and game playing are a largely smooth, stutter-free experience, though the more graphic intensive games do ask a few more questions of it at times. We struggled to find any in HD though, which is a shame considering they’re available on the Blinkbox website. It offers a more up-to-date selection of films than the likes of LoveFilm or Netflix, and titles can be rented or bought individually – no subscription required. The latter isn’t likely to come into much use for anyone with a Spotify Premium account, but the movie service could well do. Music and movie appsīlinkbox (Tesco’s movie streaming service) and Blinkbox Music (a radio-style app that lets you download stations for offline listening) also come pre-installed. It’s useful for customers, we expect (ordering shopping, checking Clubcard points etc), but equally easily ignored if not of interest. The only permanent Tesco branding is a small ‘T’ icon in the bottom left-hand corner, which launches a hub of all things Tesco. Tesco has done well not to push itself too heavily on the Hudl either – it’s running stock Android 4.2.2, with a few pre-installed Tesco-based apps and widgets that can be deleted if you like.
