Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iMemories at 4.9 against Loop Photo Frame's 3.9. iMemories also leads on ratings volume (7.7K vs 142) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). Loop Photo Frame's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iMemories holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMemories has 7.7K ratings behind it against 142, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of iMemories's written reviews are positive against 46% of Loop Photo Frame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iMemories ships an update every 5 weeks, Loop Photo Frame every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
