How it works

From kickoff to highlight reel,
without lifting a finger.

  1. 1

    Add the game

    Opponent, kickoff, arrival time and the field. KudosReel suggests the address as you type.

  2. 2

    Get the nudge

    A reminder an hour before you need to be there, and “Time to record!” right at kickoff.

  3. 3

    Record from the sideline or the stands

    Tap the yellow star right after a great play: KudosReel keeps the seconds before it as a highlight. Recording never stops, so you won't miss the next play.

  4. 4

    Tap a player, get their highlights

    Tap anyone in the video and save them as a player. KudosReel ranks their best moments and cuts vertical clips ready for Messages, Instagram or Photos. Games you record in KudosReel are ready the moment you stop.

Highlights

Their best moments, picked for you.

KudosReel watches the whole game for the players you follow and finds their best moments, including the plays you marked. Keep, drop or trim each clip before you share.

Share

Made for the group chat.

Vertical 9:16 clips that pan to keep the player in frame, slow motion on the decisive second, and a title card with their name, the opponent and the date. Save to Photos or send straight to Messages.

Features

Everything you need, from kickoff to the final whistle.

Every game in one place

Upcoming and past games with the opponent, team, field, notes and final score. Each recording and clip is filed under its game.

Reminders that open the camera

Tap the kickoff reminder and the camera opens for that game. No hunting through apps while the whistle blows.

Follow any player in one tap

Tap someone in a video and save them, no photos needed. From then on KudosReel recognizes them in every video.

Highlights, ranked

KudosReel finds each player's best moments, plus the plays you marked with the star. The best five are picked for you to review.

Vertical reels that follow the action

Clips are cropped to 9:16 and pan with the player, with a title card naming them, the opponent and the date.

Slow motion on the big moment

The key second of each highlight slows down automatically. Combine clips into one reel with a single toggle.

Questions

Good to know

More answers on the support page.

Does KudosReel upload my videos?

No. Recording, player recognition and highlight editing all happen on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to share a clip.

What does the “Great moment” star do?

Tap the yellow star while you record, right after something great happens. KudosReel keeps the moments just before your tap as a highlight, ranks it near the top and labels it “Your mark”, so a play it might otherwise miss, like a quiet goal or a great pass far from the camera, isn't lost. A mark counts for the players who were on screen at that moment. Marks are for games you record in KudosReel.

Which sports does it work with?

Any team sport where players wear numbered jerseys, at any level: your kid's soccer league, a high-school basketball game, or a pro football match you're watching from the stands. Soccer, basketball, football, lacrosse, hockey and more.

Can it follow more than one player?

Yes, as many as you like: siblings, teammates or a whole squad. Save each player once and KudosReel finds every one of them in a video, and never mixes up their clips.

Do I need photos of a player to set them up?

No. Pause any video where they're visible, tap them, and choose Save as New Player. Adding a few photos later is optional and can make recognition even more reliable.

Can I use videos I already have?

Yes. Pick a video from Photos or Files. If it was filmed during a scheduled game, it's filed under that game automatically. A video KudosReel didn't record needs a few minutes before its highlights are ready, and a Mac gets it done about twice as fast as an iPhone.

Why record with KudosReel instead of the Camera app?

Highlights from a game you record in KudosReel are ready as soon as you stop, with nothing to wait for. You can also tap the star during the game to mark great plays. Videos from the Camera app or someone else's phone work too; they just take a few minutes first.

What do I need?

An iPhone running iOS 17 or later to record games. Newer iPhones that record in 4K give the best results, because jersey numbers are easier to read. KudosReel also runs on a Mac with macOS 14 or later, which finds highlights in videos you import faster still.

Never miss their moment.
