In short
Open the timeline under your game film: green markers are snaps, purple ones big plays. Tap one to jump there and press Freeze at the snap. Every player gets a triangle, offense and defense are split by color, and the mini map in the corner fills in from above, marked as an estimate. Clear All wipes the frame and Scan finds every player again on any frame you like. Everything stays on your device. iPhone and iPad.
Step by step
Jump to a play
Open the timeline under the video. Green markers are snaps, and the violet ones are big plays. Tap any marker and the film jumps to that play.
On screen: Timeline: green markers are snaps, purple ones big plays. Tap one to jump.
Freeze the snap
Now press Freeze right at the snap. Every player gets a triangle, the two teams are split by color, and the small map in the corner fills in from above.
On screen: Freeze: a triangle on every player, offense and defense split by color.
Clear and scan again
If the frame gets busy, the Clear All button wipes it. Then the Scan button finds every player again, so you can freeze any moment of the play and start over.
On screen: Clear All wipes the frame. Scan finds every player again, on any frame.
