Everything parents and coaches ask about the basketball scoreboard camera app, the free trial, privacy, score stats and highlight reels.
Hooply is an Android app that turns your phone into a basketball camera with a live scoreboard burned into the video while you film. You tap the score as the game happens, tag who scored, and when the buzzer sounds your game film, score stats card and highlight reels are ready to share.
Hooply is free to download and explore. Recording needs Hooply Premium, which starts with a 7-day free trial. After the trial it is A$39.99 per year or A$8.99 per month (shown in your local currency on Google Play), and you can cancel anytime.
No. You won't be charged until the 7-day trial ends, and you can cancel anytime in Google Play before that with no charge.
No. Hooply has no account, no cloud and no ads. Videos save to your phone's gallery and never leave your phone. That matters when you're filming kids' sport.
Android phones running Android 8.0 or newer. An iPhone version is on the roadmap.
No. Hooply works completely offline. Stadiums with terrible reception are no problem, it films, keeps score and cuts highlight reels without any connection.
You tap +1, +2 or +3 as the game happens, and the scoreboard in the video updates live. It's burned straight into the footage while you film, so the video is ready the second you stop recording. No editing, no waiting, no rendering. There are four broadcast-style scoreboard designs to pick from.
Hooply tracks points per player. Add rosters for your team and the opposition, tag the scorer after each basket with one tap, and a score stats card with both teams' scorers plays at the end of your video, with the game-high scorer highlighted.
Every score you tap is remembered as a moment, and you can star big plays (a block, a steal) with one tap too. At the buzzer, Hooply cuts a highlights reel straight from your footage in seconds: the whole game, one player, or one team. Each reel opens with a broadcast-style title card showing the matchup and score.
Yes. Past games stay saved in the app, so when another parent asks "can you do Jake's highlights?", you can cut that reel any time, as long as the game videos are still in your phone's gallery.
Both. Choose 4 quarters or 2 halves, set the period length, pick team names and colours, and pause the recording and the game clock together during time-outs.
About the same as your normal camera app, roughly a few gigabytes for a full game depending on your phone's video quality. Hooply shows an estimate of remaining recording time on screen while you film, so you're never caught out mid-game.
