Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fast Player at 4.5 against LoopView's 3.6. Fast Player also leads on ratings volume (5K vs 5). LoopView's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (100% vs 68%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. LoopView asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fast Player holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Player has 5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Fast Player'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.
Fast Player ships an update fortnightly, LoopView weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
