This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok’s censorship following it’s acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

    It’s getting there, but still needs a good amount of ui fixes. The below mentioned are my personal issues with the app.

    • scrolling is sometimes wonky with flicking to the next video and goes past 2 to 3 other videos
    • double-tapping to like is a sorely missed feature
    • tapping the home button should refresh the feed
    • using foldable cause issues with how things are displayed and sometimes causes a takeaway you back to there beginning of the feed

    All this being said I still use it. They are making progress and I hope they keep going.

      It needs an app (edit: that is available through Play store or the corresponding apple shop)

      And it needs to render uploaded videos to the maximum allowed file size. Regular people don’t know how to make their videos smaller. I only managed to do it by uploading to you tube the then downloading it from there. Then it was small enough to to be uploaded to loops

      Also, easier sign up and more content

        loops has a app if you are talking about them, I just had to uninstall the previous to install the newest as it’s been awhile since I’ve used it.

        It has an app, it is kinda weird how you get it though. When you click tk join it gives you the choice of app. It’s not on an app store for android. Not sure about apple. So for me updates dont seem to happen to it that I know of.
