Plenty of coaches and athletes search for a video delay app for Android and come away thinking the whole category is iPhone-only. It is not. Video Delay Instant Replay is available on Android in two versions on Google Play, made by us, the same developer as the iOS app.
The idea is the same on every platform: set your phone or tablet on a tripod, point it at the action, and the screen shows the camera feed on a delay. Finish your rep, walk over, and watch yourself a few seconds later. No pressing record, no rewinding, no interrupting practice.
Looking for BaM Video Delay for Android?
A lot of people land here after searching for BaM Video Delay for Android, so let’s answer that first: there is no Android version of BaM Video Delay. It is an iPhone and iPad app only, and its developer does not offer one on Google Play. The app below does the same delayed-view job on Android, and it comes from us, the developer of Video Delay Instant Replay, BaM’s closest competitor on iOS.
Video Delay Instant Replay CAM has over 100,000 downloads and a 5.0 star rating on Google Play. You can download it for free to check out the functionality.
What the Video Delay Android app does
Delayed view mirror. Pick a buffer time and the app becomes a mirror that shows the past instead of the present. Do a lift, a swing, or a turn, then look up and watch it play back, hands free. Break down action mechanics while maintaining an efficient training pace.
Replay mode. Tap Pause and review the playback – rewind, slow it down or skip frame by frame for detailed analysis. Look closer at your movements, check the timing and aply adjustments. This visual feedback helps connect your perception of the action with actual performance.
Slow motion mode with a countdown. For quick actions of a few seconds, like a basketball shot, a golf swing, or a tumbling pass, the app replays your take in slow motion and shows a countdown so you know when it is ready for the next repetition. The slow motion speed is adjustable with a slider.
Recording. Delay Mode: Continuous recording works like a normal camera. Slow motion Mode: each slow motion take is saved as its own short video.
Which sports does this work for?
The same ones coaches use the iOS app for: any sport built on repetitions where seeing yourself right away beats being told what happened. Weightlifting and CrossFit, golf, basketball shooting, gymnastics and tumbling, dance, martial arts, volleyball serves, softball and baseball swings, diving, track drills. If the athlete repeats an action and can glance at a screen between reps, a delay app fits.
Honest note: how the Android apps compare to the iOS app
The Android apps cover the core job very well: delayed view, slow motion replays, and recording. The iOS app is our flagship and goes further, with split screen, drawing tools, a second iPhone or iPad kept in sync as a second angle, external cameras such as GoPro, DJI, USB-C, RTSP, and NDI, and a total buffer set independently from the delay time.
So if you only have Android devices, the Video Delay app will absolutely do the job. If you have an iPad available, even an older one dedicated to the gym, the iOS app is the most capable version, and you can try it free before subscribing, with no payment details and no auto-renewing trial to cancel. Organizations can also purchase multi-device iOS licenses directly from us.
