## Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Many praise Loom for its simplicity, ease of setup, and good video/audio quality, with mentions of useful screen recording and meeting capabilities. However, several recurring problems undermine experience: frequent sign-in and Google login loops, slow performance and lag on mobile, and reliability issues such as loading videos or pausing glitches. Billing and subscription handling is a major pain point after recent changes, including auto-renewals and difficult cancellations. There are also complaints about a lack of language options for captions. Overall, the app is appreciated for ease and features but needs fixes in auth, performance, and billing.
