Microsoft Loop Reviews

I downloaded this hoping to try replacing Notion in my MS heavy workplace. I had already created some content using my browser and Teams.

However, any Idea or Workspace I created in MicrosoftLoop did not save. I can clearly access all my existing content but any attempt to create something new is a total waste of time — since it does not save and gives no errors or warnings. Just poof!

I was so excited to try MicrosoftLoop, but it failed me. My personal account on 365 won’t load anything, unable to save data and just overall is incredibly broken. Currently it has no use or capability.

Neither Scribble nor handwriting works.
This is a big miss. Whether it is a “sticky notes” or directly on the page, usefulness is severely limited without this compatibility.

I want to use this so badly, but for some reason, the images will disappear and show a corrupted image in its place showing an X. This doesn’t seem to happen on all pages, but for some reason all but one have lost the screenshots I added.

I have lost a lot of time because of this. I was using it to take notes from a course that I’m studying for and I just can’t trust it if it’s going to do this I wish they would fix it.

So, I've been using loop through test flight and like it, needs more functionality so I don't have to switch to my macbook, but good. I open it this morning and get the "download the new app" pop up, so I did. When I went to log in, it says my account doesn't exist and opens the test flight version with a message that says "there was a problem". It doesn't even make it to authenticator. If it's so "new" then why is it brain damaged?

For the love of god, for an app focused on collaboration the inability to add external partners, guest and vendors to workspaces is a egregious oversight - fix it and then it’s the most useful app from Microsoft - until then it’s DOA

It works great on desktop, but is SO SLOW on the mobile app which is less than ideal

App constantly crashes on latest version for intune managed devices. Hopefully update will resolve issue.

does not work

Opens first. Says something about your organization is now protecting …. I must be more security conscious than I thought! I own the account. I own the phone. I signed in on my account. So….. Epic Fail UPDATE: I reached out for chat support from store on the iPhone. Txt too small to see but enlarging puts chat send goes far right bottom out of view. MS. If you want to serve the iPhone community, step it up.

NEW UPDATE:
Wasn’t impressed with the chat support, until I received a call right afterward to fix the install! That was really good MS.

MicrosoftLoop is now installed after a remove, disconnect storage, freezes, and finally several tries and I got into the basic app after Buy Now screens were closed or skipped.

I do notice MicrosoftLoop becomes aware of my work account, which might be the culprit but was not intended to be a part of the install or usage!

I will give it a go and see.

The iOS app doesn’t work at all. Signed in and tried creation my first page using “new idea”. An error pops up stating “oops something went wrong. There was an issue loading your content.”

Tried the following:
1. Logging out/in
2. Rebooting the iPhone
3. Reinstalling MicrosoftLoop

Still get the same error. It’s like MicrosoftLoop didn’t go through QA. 🤣 Web app works just fine. Sent feedback via MicrosoftLoop . I’m sure no one will see it so there’s that.

Can’t test out much because ideas and pages disappear when I go back.

Horrible. Logs me out every ten minutes. Why would you ship an app that clearly isn’t ready for customers?

User experience feels like something from 2010. Perplexed at how Microsoft is so bad at designing applications — it’s like they never had a real human test it out before they ship!

This only works for me on the web version. Even then, the “preview” is very limited in features and slow. This version is only good for deterring potential users before the full release.

app not good lol

The cursor is so non responsive and the editing experience is down right flimsy.

The loop conceptually is great. But, too many bugs to launch already. Needs a lot of bug fixes. I’m afraid to use it as I might lose all my information.

“/“ does not work. For example, typing “/checklist” does not add checklist. Added a ‘idea’ loop and it would not show up under recent. So, the the most basic functionality is not working. Fail. Looks promising, though.

Loop is a competent Notion clone but has a long way to go to stand toe-to-toe with Notion.

The web app is decent. The “feel” of Notion is there, and it has 80% of the features. The default styling isn’t great and there are no themes beyond a simple dark mode. Like Teams to Slack, it’s not as good, but it’s good enough for free.

MicrosoftLoop is a disaster, especially on iPad. It has the same unpolished feel as Microsofts Power Automate and Whiteboard apps, as in it just feels like a web app haphazardly crammed into an iPadOS app. It doesn’t feel responsive and does very little to take advantage of the iPad screen size. Navigation is very poor, you cannot simultaneously view your list of notes and a note as the note list is only presented in a modal view.

Loop also lacks support for drawings, like in OneNote, Excel, or Word.

Good start but right now it’s not useable. Will not stay signed in.

I love Microsoft Loop, it’s great having a free alternative to Notion and Jira that won’t break the bank of a small team. However, the iPad app is pretty bad compared to the desktop site, and you can’t access the desktop site from your iPad (at least I haven’t figured out how). Lots, if not the majority of features are missing from the iPad app. Even things like being able to name your wiki pages or creating a subpage are missing. You can’t create kanban boards or any type of template apart from wikis. The UI is very nice and clean, it just doesn’t do a lot. I’m looking forward to future versions of MicrosoftLoop, but as of now it’s still got a ways to go.

This is meant for collaboration with other people, and it could work, but forget about trying to move data from MicrosoftLoop into another. There is no way to do that. I tried sending feedback through MicrosoftLoop , but it crashed and I lost that feedback.

My loop iOS app on our corporate account crashes when I try to access a certain work space. This has been going on for a week - I tried offloading / uninstalling and etc but this doesn’t seem to get fixed. How do I get help here?

Obviously it’s still a WIP, but this seems to be the MS MO lately. Very agile development and calling beta applications ready.

While I like the general direction, I encourage MicrosoftLoop team to use Obsidian an make adjustments accordingly.

I love Microsoft’s Loop system in desktop, but MicrosoftLoop is buggy. It loses your place when you context switch away, even if for a second. And it’s locked up or crashed on me multiple times. Fixed, this would be great. As is, frustrating.

Like that this is standalone app but it really needs Split View support before I can really use it on the iPad.

MicrosoftLoop is solid but is still missing a few basics and has bugs or just gaps right now.

Getting anchor links to specific parts in a doc. Commenting is clunky. And some random bugs with copy/pasting or adjusting content in a document make it hard to use with larger docs that need re-arranging.

It’s a good step for Microsoft but MicrosoftLoop is an exact Notion but less complete.
Be creative

This seems to be picking up my notes from one of the other MS tools (desktop stickies or maybe To Do), and that’s fine but it sure isn’t obvious how to delete something I don’t want or need.

会有间歇性的卡顿，无响应，需要杀死进程

But it is a good start. No AI yet

For now,I can not use copilot in app or website. When will copilot join in?

When using code blocks, paste code with indentation, and indentation will not be displayed.

I'm a big fan of Microsoft Office 365 and I see value in some of the things they do alot of the times they get ahead of themselves and don't perfect the system but as my mentor one said shoot and then aim. This is no different with this loop program. I am not a computer tech so it's a little harder for me to understand and maneuver within the program but I've been working on trying to implement projects and assign them to experts that can help implement the project and get into the field instantly.

I would give it a five if they take the technology side of it and implemented it for those of us that are not tech experts, and make it a lot easier To implement projects and assign them to vendors/ contractors outside of our organization that are experts, so you can bring them into move on the project. I would recommend it, especially now that they have the MS Loop app.

I want to give this a five but it’s still not quite there yet. This will be the central productivity app in Microsoft 365. Everything will converge in Loop. I’m excited for when that happens. This is a direct Notion competitor. Its integration with the rest of the M365 suite will probably allow it to surpass Notion in the future.

Hey there micorosft
MicrosoftLoop is great and neat
Clean and simple ui makes it one of my favorites
The thing is that when you are inside a note after i close the keyboard, when i start scrolling (either up or down) the keyboard pops up! When i closed the keyboard i want it to stay closed so i can read and check what i wrote.

Loop has improved since first release in test flight. The overall app across the O365 apps is decent. UX is a little clunky, not always intuitive to how to best setup workspaces. It would be great to see the team create a setup walkthrough that helps configure based on what you want to do with Loop since it has a ton of great use cases attached to user stories.

Overall, solid at connecting a number of Microsoft apps and business processes into a single shareable solution.

Perhaps one of the most important and game changing tools I have used for organizing and planning my work and collaborating with others in the M365 ecosystem. Coupled with Copilot… mind blown the first week I really started to use and officially replaced my use of OneNote. Bravo.

Good

Great app. I really like the simplicity

I am a big note taker… Loop has made it so much easier and it is seamless between my windows desktop and my IOS devices. It is new app and blows OneNote out of the water.

It is easy to learn, use and helpful. Collaboration is simple and powerful. Great to keep team tasks visible and updated

Notion is an over-featured pile of excrement. Loop, while missing some things, is better. More like Notion of old without all the bolted on crap.

Remarkably useful templated activity drivers abound and can be embedded into end throughout the entire Microsoft 365 suite.
