Need more features

I would like to have more features like freehand drawing.

Needs wifi to create a note?

Notion user here. Just downloaded Loop onto my iPhone 12 Pro Max to give it a try and I tapped on "New Idea". First it claimed my phone had lost its Internet connection and when I tried again it just never loaded anything. I tried the same thing on my iPad Mini 6 and it worked fine. Maybe you just have some bugs in the iOS version?

I also see that you can't share pages on the web publicly. Everyone has to sign in to see the page you are sharing. This is one of my favorite features of Notion. Being able to create a live web page almost instantly is very cool.

Needs a desktop version

The ipad version of Loop is severely limited. I’m using an iPad pro and I can’t do any of the things I would be able to do on the desktop version of Loops. I also can not access the desktop version using a browser. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Loop has a lot of stupid bugs

First, Loop works throughout our web browsers. But on iOS, it acts completely stupidly. For instance, opening a Loop link from within Teams (which implies I’m already logged into my organization) opens the Loop app, but then Loop shows an error “Action not allowed” and that the organization prevents me from opening the Loop file — EVEN THOUGH I’M ALREADY LOGGED IN IN BOTH TEAMS AND THE MICROSOFT 365 apps and can open/see Loop files from there. Furthermore, there is no offline function, no way to export your data, and very limited Copilot functionality.

Awaiting the basics

The app is solid but is still missing a few basics and has bugs or just gaps right now.

Getting anchor links to specific parts in a doc. Commenting is clunky. And some random bugs with copy/pasting or adjusting content in a document make it hard to use with larger docs that need re-arranging.

Kind of a game changer

Remarkably useful templated activity drivers abound and can be embedded into end throughout the entire Microsoft 365 suite.

Basic functionality FAIL

“/“ does not work. For example, typing “/checklist” does not add checklist. Added a ‘idea’ loop and it would not show up under recent. So, the the most basic functionality is not working. Fail. Looks promising, though.

Doesn’t work…

Doesn’t synch correctly and has no route to correct, can’t even delete.

Loops good, app buggy

I love Microsoft’s Loop system in desktop, but this app is buggy. It loses your place when you context switch away, even if for a second. And it’s locked up or crashed on me multiple times. Fixed, this would be great. As is, frustrating.

Won’t run on iPhone 14 Plus

Opens first. Says something about your organization is now protecting …. I must be more security conscious than I thought! I own the account. I own the phone. I signed in on my account. So….. Epic Fail UPDATE: I reached out for chat support from store on the iPhone. Txt too small to see but enlarging puts chat send goes far right bottom out of view. MS. If you want to serve the iPhone community, step it up.

NEW UPDATE:
Wasn’t impressed with the chat support, until I received a call right afterward to fix the install! That was really good MS.

The app is now installed after a remove, disconnect storage, freezes, and finally several tries and I got into the basic app after Buy Now screens were closed or skipped.

I do notice the app becomes aware of my work account, which might be the culprit but was not intended to be a part of the install or usage!

I will give it a go and see.
