Loop Photostream was inspired by own need to create an easy way to share photos and videos with friends and family that we didn't want to share on social media. Loop focuses on bringing you a private, secure, intimate and simple way to share photos and videos in real time with the people who matter most to you. Choose to make anyone you invite to a stream either an admin, member, or viewer. You have the ability to approve any photo uploaded before it is published into a stream making our app trust worthy and family friendly. How It Works: • Create a stream for any event, adventure or outing in your life. • Add family and friends to your streams. • Watch the stream as photos show up within seconds as your circle uploads their photos. Perfect for: • Great for new moms that want to capture those special moments and share with family • Great for group trips where everyone is capturing photos and can share them easily in one single place • Perfect for weddings. No need for those disposable cameras on reception tables. Just share your invite code and let your guests create an album for you. • Capture images of your youth sports leagues and share with other parents Other Fun Features: • Members of your stream can like and comment on your stream in a simple and clean single threaded conversation • Create a stream and invite others as viewers only if you want to share your adventure or event with them without allowing them to add photos. • Require moderation. As the owner, you can require that you approve photos/videos that get uploaded before they show up for everyone else. • Lock your stream when you don't want to allow any more uploads • Set a start/end date time to only allow uploads during that period Auto-Renewing Subscription: – Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase – Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period – Account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal – Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase – Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable Privacy Policy: https://faredgestudio.com/loop-privacy-policy.html Terms of Use: https://faredgestudio.com/loop-terms-conditions.html

Verdict
Loop and nostalgie CAM both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Loop's written reviews are positive against 0% of nostalgie CAM's. Loop also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (22 vs 1). nostalgie CAM's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Loop sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and nostalgie CAM sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
nostalgie CAM holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loop has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Loop's written reviews are positive against 0% of nostalgie CAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Loop ships an update every 2 weeks, nostalgie CAM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
