Have you ever watched a sports match on TV and seen the slow-motion replay right after a big moment? That's exactly what Video Replay does — but for you, live, while you're training.
Here's how it works in plain English:
Your phone's camera watches you as you practise.
The app keeps everything you do in a rolling buffer.
The screen shows you what you looked like a few seconds ago — so you can study your technique while you're still in the zone.
You don't need to stop, rewind, or wait. One panel can show what you're doing right now. Another can show what you did ten seconds ago. You can have four panels showing four different delays at once!
🎯 Perfect for dart players, cricket batters, golfers, gymnasts, dancers, physio and rehab — any sport where technique matters!
💡 Think of it like this: Imagine a TV right next to you, showing exactly what you did ten seconds ago. Nobody has to hold it, and nobody has to film you.

3 Quick Start — Your First Replay in 3 Steps
1
Choose your viewTap 1 Screen on the opening screen. You can change to two, three or four panels later without stopping anything.
2
Prop the phone where you can see itThe app opens on the front camera — the one on the same side as the screen — so you can watch yourself. Stand back until you fill the frame.
3
Set your delay and goDrag the slider at the bottom of the panel to about 5 seconds. Do your movement, then look up. There you are.
💡 How much delay? Three to six seconds suits most movements — long enough to finish the rep and look up, short enough that you still remember how it felt.
4 The Screen — Labelled
Here's the two-panel view. Every panel carries its own controls, so they never have to agree with each other.

Zoom row and delay slider — see the next sections.
5 Setting Your Delay
Drag the slider along the bottom of any panel. It runs from live (0 seconds) all the way to 60 seconds, in half-second steps.
With more than one panel, give each a different delay. A common setup is one panel live and one at five seconds — you see what you're doing and what you just did, side by side.
💡 On the bottom row the slider sits slightly higher up, clear of the very edge of the screen. That's deliberate — otherwise Android reads your drag as the "go home" swipe.
6 Zooming and Moving the Picture
Use − and + to zoom, up to 5×. Once you're past 1×, drag inside the panel to move the picture around and frame exactly the part that matters — your hands, your feet, your follow-through.
The ⌂ button puts zoom and position back to normal.
Need more in shot? Zoom out to FIT. Press − at 1.00× and the panel shows FIT: the whole camera picture, with black bars at the edges, instead of the edges being trimmed off so the picture fills the panel. It's the widest view the camera can give you — the one to reach for when the phone is close by and you still need the ring, the hoop or the goal in the frame. Press + to go back to 1.00×. Recordings keep the bars, so what you see is what you save.
💡 Shooting at a ring or a goal? Stand the phone upright. Portrait shows far more height than landscape, which is what a ring or a goal needs. Still cut off? Tilt the phone up a touch, or move it a step further back.
💡 Each panel zooms on its own. Keep one on FIT for the whole court and zoom another right in on the detail you're working on.
7 Rotating a Panel
Tap ↻ to turn that panel in 90° steps. The app already corrects for how you're holding the phone, so you'll only need this if your phone is sitting in a stand at an odd angle.
8 Cameras — Front, Back, and Both
The app starts on the front camera, because the whole point is to watch yourself, and that only works if the lens is on the same side as the screen.
✅ Whichever camera you used last is the one you get next time. If you're coaching — phone in hand, athlete in front of you — flip to the back camera once and it stays that way. Neither way of working has to fight the app.
Using both cameras at once
Tap ⇄ on one panel while the others show the other camera, and the app brings the second camera up automatically. That panel switches; the rest stay as they are. Front and back, side by side.
Flip the panels back so they all match again and the second camera stands down on its own.
⚠ Two things to know. Running both cameras drops capture to 720p — that's a limit of the phone, not the app. And not every phone can do it at all, so the option only appears where yours supports it. Where it can't, the flip button switches the single camera for every panel instead.

10 Recording a Session
1
Tap ● RECTop right of the screen. The session details form opens.
2
Fill in what you wantParticipant, coach, session type, a title and notes. All optional — but they're printed on the front of your video, so they're worth a few seconds. The app remembers them for next time.
3
Tap Start RecordingThe button becomes ■ STOP with a running timer. The panel controls hide themselves so nothing gets nudged mid-session.
4
Tap ■ STOP when you're doneYou'll see Saving… for a few seconds, then a big green tick: Successfully saved — to your camera roll, with Share Now and Exit underneath.
💡 Why the short wait? The app keeps recording for about three seconds after you press stop, so the closing card with your session time is genuinely part of the video. Let it finish.
✅ No time limit. Record for as long as you like, on the free version or Pro.
11 What's In Your Recording
When
What you'll see
First 5 seconds
Your title card — participant, coach, session type, date, and any title or notes. It fades out on its own.
All the way through
Every panel with its delay badge, laid out exactly as it was on screen — so whoever watches knows which view is which.
Last 3 seconds
A full-screen closing card. The picture fades out and you get SESSION DURATION in big type, the title, and the same Player: and Coach: line as the opening card. The duration is the length of the whole clip, closing card and all — it matches what your gallery shows.
✅ The video is your replay panels — not your screen. No toolbar, no sliders, no notifications, no status bar. The app cannot see any other app on your phone.
Your microphone is recorded too, so anything you or your coach say over the replay is on the clip.
12 Where Your Videos Are Saved
Straight into your camera roll, alongside everything your phone's own camera takes. Open Photos and it's there, named by date and time.
Tap 🎬 My recordings on the opening screen to jump straight to them at any time.
⚠ On Android 9 and older videos stay inside the app instead, and can only be sent out using Share Now straight after recording. Saving to the gallery on those versions would mean asking for access to all your files, which this app deliberately doesn't do.
13 Sharing to Your Coach
When a recording finishes you get a green tick and Successfully saved — to your camera roll, with two large buttons under it. They're deliberately big: you've just finished a set, you may be at arm's length, and you shouldn't have to aim.
Button
What it does
Share Now
Opens your phone's share sheet — send it to an athlete, drop it in Drive, message it, email it.
Exit
Closes the message and carries on. Nothing is lost: the video is already saved.
💡 Nothing is uploaded automatically. Videos stay on your phone until you choose to send one.
14 Sharing the App with a Mate
On the opening screen there's an orange 📣 Share with a mate button. Tap it and your phone's normal share sheet opens with a short message and a link ready to send — text it, WhatsApp it, drop it in the team chat.
Underneath it is your invite code, eight characters like WZ9Z-3WGP. It's generated on your phone the first time you open the app, it never changes, and it's added to the link you share so an install can be traced back to you. Anyone can also just type it in by hand.
💡 The code identifies your invites, not you. It isn't tied to your name, email or phone number — it's a random string your phone made up.
If a mate invited you
Open their link and tap the big orange button. Your mate's code is copied to your phone and you're taken to the store. The first time you open Video Replay it asks Got an invite code? — tap Paste code and it fills itself in. You're only asked once.
💡 No link, just a code? Type it into the same box. That's why the codes have no letters or numbers that look alike — no O and 0, no I and 1.
Your leaderboard alias
Under your code is ＋ Add leaderboard alias. An alias is the public name shown beside your referral count on the Video Replay leaderboard — it's how you challenge your mates and your club to out-share you. It's completely optional: skip it and you can still share your code, you just won't appear on the board.
⚠️ An alias is published to the open internet, and that can't be undone. The leaderboard is a public web page. Anyone can read it, search engines will index it, and copies get cached, archived and screenshotted by services nobody controls. Taking your alias down later removes it from our page — it does not remove it from search results or archives.
So don't use your real full name, an email address, a phone number, your address, or your school or club. A nickname is the right kind of answer. The app blocks the obvious cases, but it can't tell that a name is your real one.
Once the leaderboard is live, an alias can only be changed once every six months. A leaderboard is only worth anything if the name at the top is the same person each time. The app shows you the date yours can next be changed.
🚫 Play fair. Referrals are for inviting real people who actually want the app. Faked installs, bots or emulators, buying or trading codes, spamming, or impersonating someone on the leaderboard is a breach of the referral rules — we can pull your alias, ban the account from the programme, and void any bonuses, prizes or rewards, earned or pending. The full rules are at videoreplay.com.au/android/referral-rules.html.
The leaderboard itself
The board will live at videoreplay.com.au. The front page shows the Top 10 referrers — gold, silver and bronze at the head of it, referral counts, and who has moved most in the last seven days. Tap it and you get the full table: every entrant, ranked.
On the full table
What it does
Search
Type any alias — yours, or a mate's — and the table narrows as you type.
This is me
Tap it on your own row. Your row is highlighted and pinned to the top from then on, and a banner tells you your rank and how many referrals you are off the person above you.
★
Star a mate to follow them. Starred people stay pinned at the top of your table, so you can keep score against your own crew instead of scrolling past strangers.
★ My mates
Hides everyone except you and the people you've starred.
Sort
By rank, by total referrals, or by who's climbing fastest this week.
All of that is remembered on your own device, so it's exactly as you left it next time. There's no account and no sign-in — the site never learns who you are.
A referral counts when a real person who didn't already have the app installs it through your link or your code, because you recommended it. Rewards for the top of the board — plaques, promotion and the like — are at our discretion; the referral rules set out exactly how it works.
🚧 Not live yet. The leaderboard launches with the Play Store release. Until then an alias you set is saved on your phone only — nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is published. You can set one now and see exactly how it will work — and while the board is off you can change it as often as you like, so try it out. The six-month lock only starts once the board is live.
15 Putting the Replay on a Computer
Open the ☰ menu during a session and tap 📡 Show this replay on a computer. Your phone starts serving the replay over your Wi-Fi, and gives you two things: a room code (three characters) and an address.
✅ Easiest way to get the address onto your computer. The app shows a short address like 192.168.1.178:8080. Type just that into a browser on your computer, enter the room code, and hit Copy address. Paste it straight into OBS — no typing out the long version.
In OBS on your computer:
1
Sources → + → Media SourceAdd a new one.
2
Untick “Local File”That's what lets you type an address instead of picking a file.
3
Paste the address into InputIt's already got your room code on the end.
4
Drag “Network Buffering” down to 0 MBDon't skip this. OBS ships with a 2 MB buffer, which is several seconds of delay before anything shows up — it's meant for streaming over the internet, not a phone sitting on the same Wi-Fi as you.
💡 Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi. If your phone is on mobile data it will tell you — join the same network your computer is on and try again.
⚠ Anyone on that Wi-Fi who has the room code can watch your camera. The code is only three characters, so on a club or gym network treat it like a door being unlocked: turn sharing off when you're done. Wrong codes are blocked after a few tries, and the code changes every time you start sharing.
💡 Sound. The stream is video only. Add your microphone in OBS as its own source — a Bluetooth mic near the player sounds far better than the phone's mic from across the court anyway.
What goes out is the same picture the recording gets — your panels and their delay badges, no toolbar and no notifications. Sharing and recording work at the same time.
16 If Something Interrupts You
Answer a phone call, or switch to another app, and the recording stops and saves everything up to that moment. You'll see Interrupted — but saved when you come back.
That's on purpose. Android cuts off camera and microphone access to apps running in the background, so a recording that kept going would be black and silent.
✅ The back gesture won't cost you a recording either. During a session it stops the recording and stays put, so the video and its Share button are still right in front of you.
The screen stays awake for your whole session, and the orientation locks while recording so your footage doesn't rotate halfway through.
17 Free and Pro
What you get
Free, forever
One panel, any delay from live to 60 seconds, unlimited recording length, recordings to your camera roll. A genuinely useful tool on its own — not a demo.
Pro
2, 3 and 4-panel layouts each on their own delay, plus both cameras at once on supported phones.
✅ Every install gets 7 days of full Pro access — no payment details, nothing to cancel. After that, Pro is a subscription: US$4.99 a month or US$49.99 a year. Both give you exactly the same thing; the yearly plan just works out cheaper. Google Play shows the price in your own currency, and you cancel from Play at any time.
18 Your Privacy
No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising.
Camera frames sit in a short rolling buffer on your phone and are thrown away when you leave the session.
Recordings are saved to your phone and go nowhere unless you send them yourself. Your video and audio are never uploaded.
The app asks for two things: the camera, and the microphone for recording sound.
It cannot see your photo library, your contacts, your location, or any other app.
Your invite code is made up on your phone. It isn't built from your name, your email, or anything that identifies your device.
⚠ One thing you can choose to make public. A leaderboard alias is the single piece of information this app will ever publish about you, and only if you deliberately set one. Everything else stays on your phone. The full policy is at videoreplay.com.au/android/privacy.html.
19 Something Not Working?
Problem
What to do
Picture is sideways
Tap ↻ on the panel. The app corrects for how the phone is held, but an unusual stand can still need a nudge.
A panel froze after a call
It shouldn't — the app notices the cameras stopped and reconnects them. If one really is stuck, tap Exit and start the session again.
Can't find an older recording
Videos recorded before this version stayed inside the app and never reached your gallery. Everything recorded now goes to the camera roll.
Picture is dark indoors
The camera is held at a steady 30 frames per second so fast movement stays sharp. Left alone it would trade frame rate for brightness — the wrong trade for reviewing technique.
Both cameras won't turn on
Not every phone can run them at the same time. Where yours can't, the flip button switches the single camera for all panels.
Recording won't start
Check the app has camera and microphone permission in Android Settings → Apps → Video Replay → Permissions.
I set an alias but I'm not on the leaderboard
The board isn't live yet — it launches with the Play Store release. Your alias is saved on your phone in the meantime.
I can't change my alias
Once the board is live an alias is locked for six months, and the app shows the date yours can next be changed. Before then you can change or remove it as often as you like.
I want my alias taken down
Open it from the opening screen and tap Remove my alias. That takes you off the board — though anything already indexed or cached by search engines is out of anyone's hands.
Pro didn't come back after a reinstall
Open the paywall and tap Already subscribed? Restore. Your subscription follows your Google account, not the phone.
