Microsoft Loop 4+

Promising on desktop, just doesn’t work on iOS

I love the Notion approach, especially when you’re already all O365.
But the app. It’s a misery.
The caret seems to move back. I don’t know if it’s linked to sync, but as you type, the caret will move back to a previous position, mixing your words.
Sometimes the Return will stop working. Impossible to get a new line without quitting and launching the app again.
Promising. But gosh, it’s a painful experience right now.

Developer Response ,

Hi benbob1312, sorry you're experiencing issues with the app. We recently released an update with fixes. If you're still experiencing the issue, please send an email to loopioscustomer@microsoft.com and we'll investigate.

Login hurdles

Login should use MSFT Authenticator. Or at the very least, the login screen should be configured to use local password managers.

Buggy as heck

The first thing I wanted to do was create a table with some date objects.

Typing / and then the object you enter does not work. You have select the object from the menu item. But if you type / with any letters after it, it doesn’t work.

E.g. if you type “/date” and hitting enter does nothing. Typing / and clicking on “date” gives you a date item - but super slowly, it’s not quick and responsive.

Copying and pasting that date block turns it into text, not a date block so you can’t use it for a quick scheduling tool where you copy and paste rows in a table then update the date fields.

Very bad first impression from something so many people rave about. Maybe the desktop/web version will work better.
