Vid Loop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vid Loop is a live camera that plays with time. Point it at anything and it remembers the last 20 seconds. Swipe across the picture to pull the moment backward and forward, let it loop on its own, or stack echoes of the past on top of the present. Everything happens live, on your phone, while you film. Inspired by the cult time-delay camera apps of the early App Store, rebuilt for today. TIME IS YOUR TIMELINE โข Swipe the image to scrub back through recent moments โ flick to fling it, double-tap to snap back to live โข Loop ping-pongs or sweeps through time by itself; change depth and speed mid-take EFFECTS NOBODY ELSE HAS โข Ghost โ echoes of earlier frames stacked on the live image, with every bright highlight shining through โข Trails โ video feedback: anything bright and moving smears into a fading streak โข Tunnel โ the same feedback zoomed and turned every frame, so trails spiral into an endless tunnel โข Mirror โ a kaleidoscope where each mirrored quarter is a moment further back in time; tap again for 3ร3, 4ร4 and 5ร5 halls of mirrors โข Slit โ time-warp slit-scan, live and scrubbable: every line of the picture is a different moment, so movement bends and melts โข Paint โ the scene repainted live in moving brush strokes, like a painting come to life โข Chaos โ hands the controls to chance, remixing every effect on the fly โข Combine them for looks you can't get from a filter MOVES TO THE MUSIC โข Audio React listens through the mic and finds the beat โข Bounce flips the loop on every beat; Jump leaps through time in rhythm โข Louder sound pushes the loop faster โข A Loud Venue setting keeps it locked on at gigs and parties RECORD AND SHARE โข Record exactly what you see, with live sound on its own clean track โข Portrait records vertical 9:16 โ ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; landscape records 16:9 โข Save to Photos or share straight from the gallery; trim and rename clips MADE FOR PERFORMING โข Big, finger-sized controls that fold away with one tap โข Lock the screen orientation and the whole picture becomes your scrub surface โข Your fingers always win โ beats and chaos never fight a hand on the screen Musicians, VJs, skaters, dancers, anyone who wants their video to look like nothing else on the feed. No account. No ads. Everything runs on your phone โ your camera, microphone and clips never leave it.
Booma

Loop any video โ 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 โ and then charge you again to remove the ads. Booma doesn't: one small payment unlocks unlimited loops, forever. โข REPEAT 2โ10ร โ loop any clip back-to-back, as many times as you like. โข BOOMERANG โ play it forward, then reversed, for that classic bouncing loop. โข FULL QUALITY โ export at the original resolution, with no watermark. โข SAVE & SHARE โ straight to Photos, to Files, or to any app. โข 100% PRIVATE โ everything happens on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded. โข NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTION โ 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 clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vid Loop at none against Booma's 1. Vid Loop also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Booma's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
