A completely new version of the app is ready to see the light. We’ve been gathering a lot of feedback in the past months, listened carefully to it, and turned it into improvements. We’re calling it Hustl 2. And it’s lighter and faster than ever.

The great news is that this new version will be provided as a free upgrade for all existing users.

The greater news is that Hustl 2 has been completely rewritten from scratch, focusing on reliability, better UX and fixing old errors / noisy popup messages. It will also include long-requested features like pausing and resuming the recording, 4K support, easy fullscreen + easy aspect ratio fix and capturing only the active app.

We’re so excited for you to try it! We’ve spent the past few weeks putting the finishing touches sending it to beta testers to make sure everything worked before launching the official release. It’s out now!

How to get it

If you’re a current user of Hustl, the new version Hustl 2 will be provided to you for free. Your current app should prompt you to install the new version. If that’s not happening, check your email. We’ve sent out an email to all existing customers with the new app and instructions to install it. It’s as easy as downloading it and start using it!
