    I think the process is not automated yet. If you want to, you can follow the dev at Mastodon to get info about loops

    It works fine. Not many videos there - but it’s early days. It doesn’t seem to be a desktop app. Works through the Loops app.

    It takes a while. I waited a couple days for my confirmation mail to arrive. Keep in mind that Loops is being built by a single dev. If you read the toots by @dansup you’ll see that it’s a work in progress.

      Interesting, thanks. I was expecting this to go faster now as it seems there isn’t a waiting list anymore

    I ran into the same issue you did. No verification email, and my login credentials won’t work on the app or on the website.

      Oh I didn’t realise you could download the APK.

      I got the email (a few days after registering) and it said the Android app was shipping soon. I see now you can download the APK from their help section.

    I can’t log into the website. I type in my info and click continue, and nothing happens. It’s like the continue button isn’t hooked up to anything

    I just tried registering as well, same issue. It looks like a problem with their registration process, I tried resetting my password and it was unable to find my email.
