In short
Open Layers on a frozen frame. Passing draws every lane from the ball carrier with its length in metres, because the pitch was calibrated at the freeze. Voronoi splits the pitch into the areas each player reaches first, so you see who owns the space and where the gap is. Pressure shows how tight the carrier is pressed, the Grid lays thirds and lanes over the pitch, and the mini map puts the whole pitch in the corner, seen from above. Every layer you switch on stays in the frame and records into the clip. Everything stays on your device. iPhone and iPad.
Step by step
Passing lanes
Open Layers and tap Passing. Every lane from the ball carrier is drawn on the frame, with its length in metres, because the pitch was calibrated at the freeze.
On screen: Layers → Passing: every open lane from the carrier, with its length in metres.
Who owns the space
Voronoi splits the pitch into the areas each player reaches first. One look, and you see who owns the space, and where the gap is.
On screen: Voronoi: the pitch split into the areas each player reaches first.
Pressure and grid
Pressure shows how tight the carrier is pressed, and the Grid lays thirds and lanes over the pitch, so you can talk about zones instead of pointing.

The mini map
The mini map puts the whole pitch in the corner, seen from above, with every player on it. Every layer you switch on stays in the frame and records into the clip.
