Great app! The content and the way everything works is amazing but I do have a problem. I like to save funny things into my favorite, but I wish there was a way to automatically remove videos that were deleted. Having a bunch of dead videos in the folders is annoying especially with how much time it takes to manually remove them.
I have been using the app and creating content for about eight months. While it is fun to scroll, this app really needs a way for creators to recover lost drafts. I’ve filmed probably 10 drafts in the last month or two that were deleted because I accidentally clicked a notification or something. It’s irritating to spend time filming and editing something that gets instantly deleted if I leave the creator portal without hitting “Save draft”. Also, upload speeds are WAY down.
Edit: My experience with this app is just getting worse and worse, not only are the filters usability questionable by the day, but lately I can’t get through the majority of the skits, vids, and compilations (no matter the length) without locking up and freezing. While other times, there is no problems. This is getting ridiculous. Please fix your app. Not to mention, sometimes my phone will flicker until I have to restart.
Can’t finish recording a video! I love using the app, but now it glitches out so badly. When I’m recording a video, I pause to do a transition. Yet when I resume the recording, it doesnt record even when there’s about 8 seconds left over and it freezes up not letting me finish my video recording. I’ve tried to refresh/restart the app, but it still doesn’t work. Anyone else dealing with the same problem? I’ll rate it better when these issues are fixed.
the algorithm used to be very accurate, but after the last few updates the “Not Interested” mechanic doesn’t seem to work anymore, and you can only block up to 100 video tags that barely exclude anything that you can’t ignore. This has left me with having to block hundreds of profiles in their entirety in order to avoid unwanted content, and even that doesn’t help much. 1/30/23 – “Not Interested” and “Hide videos with this sound” still not working. no point in having these options
Seems pretty good. Download as a joke, but find some funny stuff. My main gripe is that the controls take up 1/3 of the screen. I’d like to hide them so i can properly watch the videos. Update: They finally added a way to hide the ui, but not the top part, so some things are still cut off. Also, horribly addicting.
It’s an entertaining app, great to have fun and have a good distraction. Adding to that is also informative and educational to a point. I don’t consider it kids friendly, remember kids are unpredictable, will recommend if they are being supervised or interacting with other adults. On the other hand when it comes to opportunities for new creators trying to grow a new kind a thing the system makes it hard for them. With that I can say that if it gives new niches and opportunity to Grow.
I watch and create YouTube shorts with no issue. I do the same with Instagram reels with no issue. But when I open Tiktok to make vids, ever since they changed the captions and added new features, my phone, which is only a year old, gets extremely hot, system processes freeze and stop responding, and Tiktok crashes. If it DOES work, it drains my battery like nothing else. It’s nearly impossible to use for its intended purpose. No other video sharing app I use is this bad on the same phone.
Loved it :/ Was my favorite. Used a video w/trending audio that wasn’t mine, & now it’s a nightmare. I continue to promote videos, and they continue to reject. I upload original work, & they continue to mute. Filed claims with no word for weeks. Went from my favorite app to most discouraging. I thought I found my break through app. Hopefully, there can be restoration to our relationship. I am currently deleting bc of error on default font desc. not working. Be back in a few day with 🤞🏼
Ads on the following page are awful. A notification dot will appear on following but there’s nothing new. Top of my screen turns white randomly. Video and audio unsync. Can’t block sounds when they get annoying and they keep showing up after hitting “not interested” every time. It keeps asking if I wanna sync contacts no matter how many times I put no.
The app is fun, but when you’re trying to film a video, it does not save the video, so you could finish it, the editing is not that bad, but it’s not that great either. But overall, its good to entertain yourself and look at your phone for a couple hours, and you’re never get bored. And take talk also needs to make sure that the content is appropriate for kids to watch too. But I really love this app.and also tiktok, you need to upload new edits and new filters and sounds.
My previous review detailed an issue with the spam filter locking my account and since then, this seems to have resolved! There’s lots of talk about new issues with the algorithm and the ability to block certain sounds/creators/trends, but I don’t seem to be having any problems in that regard at this time, thankfully. Aside from the occasional temporary connection error with no explanation, I’m not experiencing any significant issues. Good stuff 🙂
I don’t have the same features as other devices after multiple troubleshooting. I want the video editor rather than adjust clips. I removed myself from beta, cleared cache, cleared data, Uninstalled, restarted device. Everything I could think of and I can’t get the right features. I habe an old phone that has the video editor but can’t get it on newer phone.
It’s nice for the entertainment value. But, it is a massive resource hog! Watching shorts, etc., is okay-ish. However, watching lives will drain the battery very quickly. Upon installing it, make sure to remove all permissions, alerts, notifications, and disable background data unless you want to have loud alerts play even when the phone is silenced as well as eating up your data plan!
The app was working fine until 2 updates ago. Now, the screen is zoomed in too far, cropping a lot of the videos, and making the icons waaay too big. Glitches when trying to close app, takes many attempts to. The zoom even carries into my phone’s desktop icons for a few seconds when the app finally closes. Frequently getting no internet connection error. Something is seriously wrong with it.
Overall, the app is very good, but it should give you the option to change what page it opens on, since not everyone wants to start on the For You page. It should also have a button or something that temporarily hides the UI when watching videos, because while there *is* a feature that lets you watch the video without the UI, it’ll probably result in part of your hand covering the screen. Additionally, some features are only available in certain regions, which is just awful imo.
I love the communities I’ve found on this app, but the user experience could use some improvement. For example, the editing tools can be very glitchy. I had a draft I was working on all year, but when I would go in to edit and replace clips, it would replace completely different clips with my new recording, deleting my progress. Instead of updating the look of the interface, I wish the developers would prioritize usability and universal design principles.
The app for entertainment purposes is great. However, if you try creating content you might not have the same experience. My video editing features did not receive the update despite numerous troubling shooting and having once had it (somehow reverted?). I’ve had an open ticket with the support team since November with no resolution in sight. Can be extremely frustrating if you ever are in need of help and can’t find an answer from other users
I was considering increasing my rating as the performance and issues have been gradually improving. But the thing is I KEEP having to deal with issue after issue that pop up all the time. The latest is that now bookmarking videos just doesn’t work any more and likely hasn’t for weeks without me noticing. On top of the audio/visual glitches, the random freezing and crashing, and getting temporarily BANNED without warning or reason just to be restored unceremoniously the next day, it’s ridiculous.
I still don’t have the voice changer effect, and, with a semi-new Samsung model phone, there are filters that simply won’t work. If this app is only good for those with an iphone, keep is on the iOS app store. After multiple updates, still nothing, and I don’t feel like getting rid of my drafts for an update that isn’t even trending at this point. Shameful and disappointing, quite frankly.
Everytime I click on the app lately (like the past 2 weeks) it refuses to open and I have to click on it several times and hope it actually works. Sometimes I doesn’t. Tried updating and uninstalling and it still does it. It’s getting to the point where it just won’t open more often than it does and the app has been so glitchy overall lately. Thinking about giving up on it.
Edit 2. After 2 Used primarily on tablet. Now it will not stay on landscape mode. I will update it to good or 5 stars once I am able to use it again. Fixed and some features added. For a time wasting app, this was great. Easy to use, easy to just look at videos and have a good time. Content for everyone no matter your likes. I gotta say I was impressed with the cheer amount of silly and funny videos.
The app is great and all, but that was till I got a new phone(Samsung 22+). It always says I’m offline and need so many tries to like, comment, or even just scroll. I’ve checked other apps, but this is the one one having problems 😒 I have disconnected from the wifi and turned it back on, deleted the app(just gets worst everytime), and reinstall, as well as my use my data. However, nothing works. Not to mention, the recording doesn’t always work. I’d love it if someone has a solution to fix this
I don’t really like giving apps reviews, but this is an exception. So I downloaded the app a bit ago. And I noticed an blaring issue right away. I don’t receive any notifications! I checked the app and all notifications are turned on, I even checked my phone and notifications are indeed allowed, and yet I recieve none what so ever. Not sure what I can do since I have attempted every single method provided for notifications but none have worked.
Tiktok is pretty good but I have a couple complaints. 1. Sometimes my tiktok freezes and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on, which is weird because it doesn’t happen on other apps. 2. Tiktok sometimes doesn’t give your certain features like the Jessie filter for no reason, I had it once, then it disappeared. 3. Holy the moderation sucks, I seen gore on the app multiple times but you can’t swear in the caption. It doesn’t make sense. My rating would be lower but I like this app.
App keeps crashing randomly, sometimes I open the app and it instantly shuts down other times I can use it for a while. Tried all the things that so called tech support suggested before reaching out to them. Once I did reach out to them and told them that I had tried all the things they said to try all the things and send screen recording. The problem is it happens randomly. I can’t constantly screen record.
I keep having issues where I cannot continue recording my drafts, it will say “could not record, try again later” or if I try to record more than three segments, it does the same thing. It also started cutting the sound part of the way through when I’m making a video with a sound from tiktok 🤷🏽♀️ it was fine forever but now it’s basically making it so I have to use another editor then upload it which isn’t worth the effort.
I dont know the proper words for it, but the icons for the home button and the + in the center have burned into my screen.. I was reading on a off white screen and thought it was part of the book but after looking and thinking about how if TVs or monitors are left on blue or anything too long it can keep a faded image. I’m unsure if this is because of particular colors or what, but it’s worth keeping note of. Right now they are a faint red that I can only see on light colors but yeah.. sucks.
I’m a regular content creator with a decent following. I love making videos, but lately I’ve had a technical issue with the app. Everytime I record audio there’s a cracking/static noise at the end of the clip. Then even when I try to cut out the cracking noise at the end of the clip when I add a sound for the background, it starts to distort the audio at random times. It makes recording and editing videos frustrating when this app issue compromises the quality of your video content.
It’s been several days now that Tiktok freezes up completely on me. I cannot swipe or press any other option. If it doesn’t freeze, it stays stuck on an endless loop of buffering clips. If it does work, the audio will play with no clip. Sometimes, the audio continues to play even after closing the app, so the only way to make the audio stop, is to force stop it completely through settings. I’ve cleared cache, Uninstalled and reinstalled several times. On data or wifi, issues persist.
I love the app to watch videos, but recently when I filmed and went to the voice options they removed a whole bunch from me. I figured it was a glitch so I tried doing a text-to-speach option, but that was also removed. I’m hoping this get’s fixed soon! One more thing is, they still haven’t added dark/night mode for Android users yet which is really upsetting knowing IOS users have had it for years now.
Up until summer the app worked fine, now I can no longer use other people sounds, the app slows the audio down when I film so the words never match my mouth, filters are gone completely. Many bugs. I can only make original audio and even then the audio never matches what I’m saying. Very frustrating for us Android users. I bought a new phone with the best camera to film and can’t even use it now.
I am forced to go to this app well trying to use another app. Where this app I had to listen to”I can’t get enough” repeated over and over for 10 minutes before I cut the phone off to stop it. I installed it in a hope the music download app I was using wouldn’t send me to tik Tok ads with every song I tried to get. The couple shorts videos I saw were entertaining but I should not be forced to go to an ap I don’t want to use at that time.
The autoplay of the search results videos is insanely annoying. The search function was fine when the videos you searched for didn’t play before you tapped on them. Now you can’t scroll and browse through the search results without whatever video you’re hovering over autoplaying, and it’s distracting and irritating. Other than that and time delay between the audio and video on some posts, the app is fine
I joined a few months ago, so far it’s been pretty easy to figure out. It’s been fun watching other people’s videos and posting mine. I did however lose my magnifying glass for searching new filters, trending filters, etc.,. it eventually was restored, and then yesterday it disappeared again. I cleared the cache in the app and on my phone, installed and reinstalled the app, nothing works. Please fix my ability to search filters.
Tiktok has repeatedly had issues with giving my front facing camera a blue screen for months. I usually end up deleting the app or clearing the cache, and it will work properly again, but this time, I can’t log in. On the home screen, it won’t let me click on anything. Then, when I try to get help on the tiktok support page, it just tries to send me to the app that I can’t even get into.
I give it two stars. One for the effects like reality ripple and one for the ai effect. But, It has problems… I tried using the studio feature to make a short video, first I spent hours learning how to edit, add effects, then it froze up. I lost all my work. Gave it another chance, spent so much time on adding effects to my minute long clip, and went to save it as a draft, it went to video limbo. NEVER SAVED IT!!! Boo hiss!
Fun little disruptor. Everyone’s scrambling to adopt TikTok’s format, probably because it’s so well calibrated to our modern attention span. I really enjoy watching random videos of the fun, amazing, inspirational and even bone-headed things people are doing all around the world. Everybody out there has something worth sharing, and this is exactly the type of app that makes that possible.
Everytime I go live, it freezes after about 2 minutes. It does this evey single time I go live. I’ve tried restarting the app and my phone but it still keeps freezing. I can’t even do my live because it freezes everytime. It’s very annoying to me and my followers. It has to be the app because I don’t have a problem with anything else on my phone.
Videos don’t play on the first view, I have to reopen them for them to play. In both feed and chat. Please bring back the phone’s default volume slider so it’s easy to slide volume instead of keeping the button pressed. I don’t think hiding it serves a purpose. Please stop asking about connecting Facebook contacts on EVERY single opening of the app.
