Loopideo - Loop Videos

The ads were so obnoxious on the free version I paid $10 for the pro version. But when I added a bunch of videos from my photo gallery it became confused and assigned all the videos the same thumbnail. Now I can't tell which is which. The UI is unusually bad for such a simple app. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does actually play the videos. UPDATE: I did upgrade to the patched version and it's working fine now. I raised my review to 4 stars because I find I am using it on a regular basis and it does a good job playing and looping my videos at high res with no stuttering.

For some time, this app was very useful and seemingly working well for me without any problems or issues whatsoever. However, later on down the line recently, the app suddenly changed where I can’t swipe or exit out of a video I’m watching on loop. I have to inconveniently close the entire app just to play another video I desire to watch. I even attempted to watch this video regarding this “Loop Deck demo” which I thought would dismiss the annoying ad that was subsequently causing me to only be able to play one video at a time, without the app glitching and not allowing me to exit out the video I’m playing. I was able to do that normally before, but suddenly I can’t anymore. This was what seemed to be the only reliable app to loop videos successfully, now it’s not functional and I’m displeased.

First off, I’ve been using this app for years. I mean years. Since the beginning. And it was my favorite app. It was simple and just worked. I clicked a video and it played instantly. So I didn’t bother updating it. But since upgrading to ios13, I noticed that some of the thumbnails were incorrect. I saw in the update history was supposed to fix that problem. So I updated to the latest version. And I’m absolutely disappointed in every way! Mad even. First off, now I have to do multiple clicks to simply play a single video. And that would be something that I could get used to in time... if it actually played my videos. Now every single video in my library, which is hundreds spanning across 5 years, will not play and I’m met with an error telling me to delete and relink because the external link is broken. And the icing on the cake is I still have the thumbnail issue. So I can either not use the app anymore or delete it with my years worth of videos and individually locate and relink each one. What!!!! I’ve written one review in my whole history off being an iPhone user, but I’ve never had an app go so backwards before in both its design and usability that I had to write one here. I’m highly disappointed. I’d give it a 0 if the App Store would let me.
