Loop — Business TV and Signage
Can I manage my TV signage directly from my phone with Loop?
Yes, Loop lets you control your TV screen from your phone, which is handy for quick updates like swapping out a sold-out item. Just keep in mind that the connection between your phone and the TV player can be unstable, so it might not always work when you need it most.
Does Loop offer a free tier, and what features are included?
Loop has a genuinely free tier, which includes access to a template library with pre-made layouts. However, the free version puts a large, unprofessional watermark on your content, and basic features like scheduling require a paid subscription.
Why does my Loop playlist keep stopping or showing a black screen?
This is a common complaint—playlists can randomly stop, and black screens happen often due to stability issues. Try restarting your phone, unplugging your streaming device, and re-logging into the app, but if it keeps happening, you may need to consider a more reliable solution.
How do I fix Loop losing connection between my phone and the TV?
The app frequently loses connection to the TV player, and support usually just tells you to check your internet and HDMI input. Restarting both your phone and the TV device can help temporarily, but this is a known problem that Loop hasn't fully resolved.
How does Loop compare to using a Google Slides tab on a Chromebook for signage?
Many users, like the reviewer, end up switching to Google Slides on a Chromebook because it's more reliable—no random black screens or connection drops. While Loop offers phone control and templates, the stability issues make a simple slideshow a safer bet for daily business use.
