ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Loopseque Mini holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Loopseque Mini has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Loopseque Mini's written reviews are positive against 100% of Songcrate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Loopseque Mini ships an update every 5 months, Songcrate monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
