TikTok, a super classic and one of the very popular social media apps developed by TikTok Pte. Ltd.

Here, users can shoot and make videos by themselves, and then share them on the platform. Everyone can like, favorite, forward, and interact with private messages. In TikTok, you can see a lot of international friends, whether it is life, knowledge or food. It is a rare short video application.

The social advantage of TikTok is short videos. When users enter, they already know the target group. When obtaining topics, they can directly find relevant topics for guidance. Especially in just 2 minutes, on the one hand, the content is based on the original social tendency, by creating topicality and novel gameplay, on the other hand, the video quality is developing in a refined direction.

Last but not least, as a relatively new short video app, TikTok is in the development stage compared to other existing social media overseas. TikTok promotes users to share their lives and build healthy community exchanges, including promotional videos such as water conservation and motherhood.

On Google App, TikTok has so far received a rating of 4.4 stars together with 52.4M reviews. The app has been downloaded more than 1 billion times. On App Store, TikTok receives a score of 4.8 out of 5. There are altogether 13.5M ratings.

Pros

1. The graphics layout of TikTok is sometimes beautiful, sometimes meticulous and delicate, and the quality of the video is improved every time.

2. Large number of user groups and high activity.

3. It can use portraits to analyze users’ interests and hobbies, and make targeted pushes to reduce interference to users.

4. Upload personal videos and share your daily life with netizens.

5. Easily get the information you are interested in and hot topics.

Cons

1. Video homogenization is serious, causing users to have aesthetic fatigue.

2. Occasionally there will be glitches that affect the shooting and production of videos.

There are two sides to everything, and overall I have mixed reviews for this app. First of all, as a short video application, it is indeed suitable for passing the time when you are bored. But because of this, the process of watching videos is easily addictive and wastes precious time. Sometimes, some people are still addicted to shooting or watching TikTok during their work, which affects their work efficiency.

Next, the app is fine, but it has a lot of glitches from time to time. For example, when you have a bluetooth device paired to your phone, it makes the audio slow while recording, but in the final video the audio is normal, so it makes the audio out of sync with the video. Of course, one of the things that annoys me the most is that when I find a video I like and want to retweet it from my page, TikTok either takes the video down or mutes the track, which really detracts from the experience.

On the whole, this is a very entertaining short-form video app, and I found a lot of fun in it. In terms of gameplay, TikTok’s video editing tends to be more simplistic, allowing every user to operate easily, putting together clips with various effects without being a video expert.
