Best way to get Caribbean news!

One of the best features is the push notifications.

Please allow for muting of adds. This is annoying hearing it playing in the background.

I'm confused.

When I click latest news and I want to read an article. It takes me to a safari page. It doesn't open on Loop itself. I'm a bit peeved about that. Sometimes I get confused using Loop . But it goes without saying that Loop deserves 4 stars for just coming into the biz.

Excellent News Service

I am not on all the time, so I like to be able to get my news when I need to hear it. this app serves exactly that service. I can just read what is reported, or better yet, see video. I couldn’t ask for better.

Keep up the good work.

Too many bugs

I love what Loop is intended to do, it's usually my go to on a morning to get the latest news updates incase I don't get time to read the local newspaper. But there are too many glitches, it's unreliable, for over two days now, anytime I try to open an article on my iPhone or iPad, Loop closes, how useless, I see headlines but can't read stories, get your act together already...good idea but needs a lot of fixes


By


Excellent News Coverage

I look forward to reading this app’s news from the various countries in the Caribbean. Never had a problem accessing or navigating Loop . Thanks this app for bring these local Caribbean new stories to the diaspora (and the world in general)!

Crashes on iOS devices

I really enjoy Loop but it crashes so frequently that it becomes annoying. Using it on iPhone X and iPad Air (3rd gen), both utilizing iOS 13.3.
I’d also like to see news with some detail. Sometimes the headline is better than the story. Otherwise, it keeps me in touch and that’s not bad.

Useful. Nothing more.

App does what it is meant to do, but it could be updated to be much more modern. Inspiration can be taken from other news apps to make this one more user friendly. Something simple as swiping to change news articles for example.

App need upgrade

Loop crashes too much after scrolling to read older news , it’s been happen too often ,


By


Poor Quality Content

If this app hopes to be taken seriously, the quality of the journalism will need to be significantly improved.

Articles are rife with grammatical errors. Stories are not properly developed. In some cases, you are left wondering if the headline got mangled somehow, as the point isn't properly developed in the body of the article.

I would rather pay for a newspaper than read free news that is of such poor quality.


By


Needs work

Although the news has is OK I wish I could copy the news so I could let my phone read it to me and also I wish the links actually worked,makes no sense to put a link when you can't copy it to paste it into a search engine or you can't even click on it.

App crashing on iOS 14.6

Trying to load Loop and it’s keeps crashing


By


Waste of my precious time

This is the worst news app I’ve used
It constantly crashes
Gives no updates and some of the news articles I read here were already on several other news media.
this app is such a waste of time
Have a lot of room for improvements


By


Not bad for the Caribbean

This is an ok app for Caribbean info but clearly not a world class app. Would this compete with any of the major news organizations? No. Yet Digicel is as big or bigger financially.

I expected more from Digicel.


By


Excellent

Great app for everything in one place. I can get a my local news, sports etc. easily


By


Useless. Keeps crashing on IOS

Installed and uninstalled in less than5 minutes because I couldn’t even get Loop open. Why send out mass texts with news then force people to use your app to view them and Loop isn’t functional?


By


An Okay App

Loop has a good interface and colour scheme. However, more Caribbean news posts will be greatly appreciated. :)


By


Randomly shuts down

I have 11promax max and spontaneously randomly closes sometimes while open a news article while reading it. That need to get fixed.


By


Need to be fix

There is a problem with Loop like if I am listening to my music or to tunein soon I click on Loop can’t listen to my music anymore very annoying

Issues with Loop

Issues I encountered with Loop are as follows:
• When you change the country Loop crashes.
• When you hit replay on a video, the video stops and buffers without continuous play.
• Some characters are not displayed correctly. Also, white-spaces are sometimes omitted.
• You have to open a story to see the date.
• Sometimes the menu items disappear leaving only Settings.
• The view take a long time to refresh.


By


A better attempt could’ve been made

App feels cheap, bugs galore, a lot of stories were bad info,

For an app that could generate a lot of revenue Loop could be much better

Accessing clipboard
