Not a mockup. A real report: score 70, six flags, every one sourced.

Fix first

  • 1Elbow angle: Your elbow angle of 74.2 degrees is slightly below the optimal range of 75–110 degrees. While close, a slightly more open elbow can improve comfort and stability over long durations.
  • Drill: Focus on actively pressing your forearms into the pads, allowing your elbows to naturally open a degree or two.

FAQ

Fair questions

What kind of video do I need?+
A side-view clip, 8–15 seconds, filmed roughly at hip height. Any modern phone camera works. For running: treadmill or a straight outdoor section. For cycling: an indoor trainer is ideal, outdoor works too. The clearer the side view, the better the measurement.
How accurate is the analysis?+
Flapp uses pose estimation that tracks 33 body landmarks per frame — the same class of technology used in sports-science research. It's not a lab motion-capture rig, and we don't pretend it is: each report includes a confidence read-out, and low-quality footage is flagged rather than silently scored.
Do I need any sensors or special equipment?+
No. Your phone is the sensor. No wearables, no markers, no app to install — Flapp runs in the browser.
Can it replace a professional bike fit or running coach?+
No — and it doesn't try to. Think of Flapp as the check between the fits and the coach's second pair of eyes: it puts numbers on what changed after a saddle swap, a training block or an injury, and tells you when something drifted out of range. If you want a person in the loop, Coach Notes gets three things a coach sees written on your report, and the Expert Review add-on a full personal breakdown from a competing triathlete.
What happens to my videos?+
Your clip is used to run your analysis, and your results belong to you. Reports live in your private cloud history on every plan — free included — so you can track progress; clips themselves auto-delete on your plan's schedule. See the privacy policy for details.
Is it really free to try?+
Yes — 10 analyses every month, no card required, and your first report comes in full. After that the free tier shows your skeleton overlay and technique score; the exact angle numbers, the coaching notes and the overlay video are part of the paid plans.
