Booma

Features

Loop any video — repeat it up to 10 times, or turn it into a boomerang that plays forward then backward. Pick a clip, choose how it loops, and save it to Photos or share it anywhere. No ads. No subscription. Pay once and loop forever. Other loop apps charge $5.49 a month — and then charge you again to remove the ads. Booma doesn't: one small payment unlocks unlimited loops, forever. • REPEAT 2–10× — loop any clip back-to-back, as many times as you like. • BOOMERANG — play it forward, then reversed, for that classic bouncing loop. • FULL QUALITY — export at the original resolution, with no watermark. • SAVE & SHARE — straight to Photos, to Files, or to any app. • 100% PRIVATE — everything happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded. • NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION — pay once. No weekly fee, no ad before every export. Perfect for jumps and mid-air moments, confetti bursts, pets shaking off water, dance moves, product shots, and anything worth watching again and again. Note: boomerangs are exported without sound, so the bounce stays smooth. The app tells you whenever this happens. Repeat loops keep the original audio. Pick a video, choose Repeat or Boomerang, save. Done.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Booma at none against Boomerang's shown. Booma also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Boomerang's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
