About
OOFSkate is an AI-powered sports analytics app built specifically for figure skaters who want to train smarter using objective performance data. By recording jumps and spins through the app, skaters instantly receive a suite of precise metrics including jump height, angular velocity, peak angular velocity, and time to peak angular velocity — all processed automatically using computer vision and machine learning. The app automatically classifies jump types (Axel, Lutz, Flip, Loop, Salchow, Toe Loop) and supports combination jumps, showing per-jump stats within a combo (e.g., individual heights and rotation speeds). Spin tracking covers upright, one-foot, and scratch spins, with smooth velocity charts and peak speed highlights. Horizontal filming is fully supported with auto-crop for easy capture at the rink. Skaters can review their historical analytics to track long-term progress, compare their metrics against their own past performance or against professional-level benchmarks, and instantly share clips with overlaid stats directly to Instagram Stories. OOFSkate is free to download with in-app purchases, and is designed for iPhone and iPad. It is ideal for recreational skaters looking to improve, competitive athletes tracking progress, and coaches seeking data-driven insights into their athletes' technique.
Key Features
- Automatic Jump Detection & Classification: Automatically identifies jump type (Axel, Lutz, Flip, Loop, Salchow, Toe Loop) and detects combination jumps, showing individual stats per jump within a combo.
- Precise Jump & Spin Metrics: Measures jump height, angular velocity, peak angular velocity, and time to peak angular velocity. Also tracks spin speed for upright, one-foot, and scratch spins.
- Historical Performance Analytics: Tracks skater progress over time with expanded analytics against personal history, enabling data-driven training improvements.
- Professional Benchmarking: Allows skaters to compare their stats against professional-level benchmarks to understand performance gaps and set meaningful training goals.
- Instagram Stories Integration: Share video clips with stats overlaid directly to Instagram Stories in a single tap, making it easy to showcase achievements.
Use Cases
- A competitive figure skater uses OOFSkate to track jump height and rotation speed across training sessions, identifying which jumps need the most improvement before a competition.
- A figure skating coach records athlete jumps during practice and uses the per-jump analytics in combination jumps to provide precise, data-backed feedback.
- A recreational skater benchmarks their Axel and Lutz statistics against professional metrics to set realistic long-term training goals.
- A skater shares highlight clips with stats overlaid directly to Instagram Stories after landing a clean combination jump to engage their social media following.
- An athlete monitors their spin peak angular velocity over several weeks to measure whether off-ice conditioning exercises are translating into faster on-ice rotations.
Pros
- Highly Specific to Figure Skating: Purpose-built for figure skaters with sport-specific metrics and jump/spin classifications that generic fitness apps don't offer.
- Fully Automated Analysis: No manual tagging needed — the app automatically detects, classifies, and measures jumps and spins from recorded video.
- Social Sharing Built In: Native Instagram Stories integration lets skaters share performance clips with stats overlay in one tap, adding motivation and visibility.
Cons
- iOS Only: Currently limited to iPhone and iPad; macOS support is listed as unverified, and there is no Android version available.
- Niche Audience: Exclusively designed for figure skaters, making it irrelevant for athletes in other sports or disciplines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What metrics does OOFSkate measure?
OOFSkate measures jump height, angular velocity, peak angular velocity, and time to peak angular velocity for jumps. For spins, it tracks rotation speed in deg/s, rev/s, and rpm, with peak speed highlighted on smooth velocity charts.
Which jump types does OOFSkate recognize?
The app automatically classifies the six major figure skating jumps: Axel, Lutz, Flip, Loop, Salchow, and Toe Loop. It also supports combination jumps and displays per-jump stats within a combo.
Is OOFSkate free to use?
OOFSkate is free to download on the App Store with optional in-app purchases available for additional features or content.
Does OOFSkate support horizontal (landscape) filming?
Yes, horizontal filming is officially supported as of version 1.7.8, and the app includes smooth auto-crop to handle landscape video properly.
Can I compare my performance to professional skaters?
Yes, OOFSkate allows you to compare your jump and spin metrics against professional benchmarks as well as your own historical performance to track improvement over time.
