ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

nPlayer Lite holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: nPlayer Lite has 3.8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of nPlayer Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of LoopView's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

nPlayer Lite ships an update every 9 days, LoopView weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
