This is the worse ### 3/5 — App need upgrade *2021-05-02* This app crashes too much after scrolling to read older news , it’s been happen too often , **Developer response:** Hi there. Sorry to hear you had a negative experience with an older version of the app. We just published a brand new version of the Loop App with a greatly improved experience. We would recommend uninstalling your current version and installing the new one. Let us know what you think! ### 4/5 — Notifications need to persistent *2020-11-03* When I get multiple breaking news notifications and select one, the others disappear making me lose the other breaking news story. It would be superb to the user experience if notification was persistent until you clicked on it, rather than all disappearing after you click one notification **Developer response:** Hi Brianistgod, We will be sending out an update for the Loop App this week! Can we ask that you update the app and then switch notifications off and on. If you continue to see this problem after, could you send us a message at product@trend.media so we can troubleshoot further! I hope this helps. ### 3/5 — Accessing clipboard *2020-09-21, version 3.1.27* Love the app but the app should not be reading the clipboard ### 2/5 — Loop news *2020-04-15, version 3.1.24* I deleted it, came back and it’s even worse. Can’t even get it sign in with the proper credentials. Nothing but bugs and crashes... bye. I’ll go with observer or gleaner. I spent four hours to get it working, nada, and I’m computer/iPhone savy. ### 3/5 — Crashes on iOS devices *2019-12-25* I really enjoy this app but it crashes so frequently that it becomes annoying. Using it on iPhone X and iPad Air (3rd gen), both utilizing iOS 13.3. I’d also like to see news with some detail. Sometimes the headline is better than the story. Otherwise, it keeps me in touch and that’s not bad. **Developer response:** Hi Koyobs, We are sorry to hear that you're having these issues. Thank you for providing that information on the crashes. We will look into it and provide an update when we resolve the problem. If you'd like to provide any further information, please forward us an email to product@trend.media. All the best for the New Year! ### 2/5 — Need to be fix *2019-12-07* There is a problem with the app like if I am listening to my music or to tunein soon I click on the app can’t listen to my music anymore very annoying **Developer response:** Hi! We are sorry that you're experiencing this issue. GIve us some time to investigate and we will get back to you with some possible solutions. ### 2/5 — A better attempt could’ve been made *2018-07-29* App feels cheap, bugs galore, a lot of stories were bad info, For an app that could generate a lot of revenue this app could be much better ### 3/5 — Useful. Nothing more. *2018-04-09* App does what it is meant to do, but it could be updated to be much more modern. Inspiration can be taken from other news apps to make this one more user friendly. Something simple as swiping to change news articles for example. ### 1/5 — Crashing issues *2017-06-12, version 3.1.1* Ever since the redesign of the app, it consistently force quits every time I select an article. iPhone 5s/iOS 10.3.2 ### 1/5 — Fix it *2017-06-06, version 3.1* Since last update nothing works it loads but when you try opening any thing to read it cuts of... ### 1/5 — Fix *2017-06-05, version 3.1* On links are loading since last update ### 1/5 — Issues with Loop *2017-05-11* Issues I encountered with the app are as follows: • When you change the country the app crashes. • When you hit replay on a video, the video stops and buffers without continuous play. • Some characters are not displayed correctly. Also, white-spaces are sometimes omitted. • You have to open a story to see the date. • Sometimes the menu items disappear leaving only Settings. • The view take a long time to refresh. **Developer response:** Hi Tarplex, Thank you for the feedback on the app, and we apologize for the inconvenience you're experiencing. We will pass this information to our team, as they continue to work to have the app working well again as soon as possible. -Loop Team ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs fixing *2024-11-16, version 4.44.6* I can’t enter the app.needs an update for iOS ### 1/5 — New update is horrible *2021-06-03, version 4.0.4* Newest update continuously crashes haven’t been able to read one news update ### 1/5 — Can’t open! *2021-06-03, version 4.0.4* Update won’t open!!

Doesn’t even finish loading ### 1/5 — Please Update This App !!! *2021-04-15, version 3.0.28* As a general Jamaica news source, this is terrific. The app however, is the poorest quality of any news app ! ... freezing, crashing, disorganized stories, one aspect ratio for all photos ? ... COME ON ! You can do MUCH better. Borrow some code for cryin’ out loud. Lazy, Lazy programming. Take some pride in what you do. ### 1/5 — Why is this app reading my clipboard? *2020-12-10, version 3.0.28* Getting notifications that loop is reading my clip. Why is that necessary. App going to the bin. ### 1/5 — Randomly shuts down *2020-11-07, version 3.1.27* I have 11promax max and spontaneously randomly closes sometimes while open a news article while reading it. That need to get fixed. ### 1/5 — Waste of my precious time *2020-05-19* This is the worst news app I’ve used It constantly crashes Gives no updates and some of the news articles I read here were already on several other news media. LOOP is such a waste of time Have a lot of room for improvements **Developer response:** Hi Yonnike3003, We're sorry that you're experiencing issues. Would it be possible to send some additional information to product@trend.media, so that we can help troubleshoot the problems? ### 1/5 — Useless. Keeps crashing on IOS *2019-04-11* Installed and uninstalled in less than5 minutes because I couldn’t even get the app open. Why send out mass texts with news then force people to use your app to view them and the app isn’t functional? **Developer response:** Hi Trish, We are sorry that you are experiencing this problem. Could you tell us what version of iOS you are using and the device model, so that we can test this out? This will greatly help us find a resolution quickly for you!
