In short
Open the match you imported: the scan has already marked every shot as a red dot on the timeline. Expand the timeline, jump to a red dot and tap Freeze. In a few seconds the frame is read on the phone: every player gets a triangle, the two teams get their colours, and the pitch is calibrated so distances come out in metres. Clear All wipes the frame — drawings and players together — and Scan finds everyone again, ready for your next idea. Everything stays on your device. iPhone and iPad.
