My experience with Tik Tok since 2019 is characterized by fun and entertainment. I always spend a good time during the day. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this wonderful application.
What I liked is the artificial intelligence that the application uses. It knows very well the types of videos that I want and the videos that I do not like.
Nothing in particular, but it is better for adults because there are contents that violate public decency

It provides many tools and features to encourage creativity.
I have a big concern about data collection and privacy practices. Another point is now high competition on Tiktok challenges me for visibility.

I am writing to bring your attention to the ongoing issues I have been facing with accessing TikTok Shop and engaging with the platform as a user. As the owner of Reverend A's Freelancing, I have encountered several obstacles, including being unable to access TikTok Shop as a customer, being age-restricted out of live streams, and being unable to support other creators' new videos. Effectively, these...
Having access to millions of users, being able to connect with new friends.
Lack of Customer Support. Automated Robot replies followed immediately by closing the report. Not being able to contact a real human. Lack of problem resolution. Lack of regard for humans Objectifying women

Overall I am very satisfied with Tik Tok as it is amusing and also can be really interesting for some scientist news.
Videos are short and then you can spend on this app the quantity of time you want
Very often contents are similar, then sometimes it could be boring

In my opinion Tik Tok is the King of the social media at this moment. Many people can make money through live streaming or to advertise their own products and services. I like also that you can find Influencers and they can advertise everything for you if you dont have a Tik Tok account with many followers. Tik Tok is a multipurpose tool that everybody must join.
Very friendly in use. The best way in our days to advertise products and business. Very important the integration with a variety off apps.
The only thing that I don't like about Tik Tok is that when you are watching a video you must watch all the video until the end, I mean that you cannot skip some parts of the video. At least this is what I noticed with my android device. With iPhone you can do that but not in all the videos.

On overall I have had a blast with TikTok. I like to refer it a double ended sword that kills 2 birds at a go. I use it market our business, educative platform and also just have fun
TikTok is a remarkable platform that is easy to surf through because of it's flexible UI. It comes with a range of functionalities that I have found favouring. After signup I was able to create short videos as well as go live to train people on pesticides and other agricultural products we have at percmacks. Viewers of my content can directly reach me through my number or email which is in my bio as well as comment on any post. On the fun but iam also able to enjoy other people content, hop on dance challenges and also learn about other things from those short videos which breaks the monotony of life. Also in TikTok YouCan download videos or even share links to other people on other social platform for enhanced reference
So far soo good I have not had any challenge with TikTok because it is a straightforward tool with nothing to hate about it

My experience with TikTok is pretty amazing and I use it everyday and make funny and serious videos. I would tell everyone about TikTok. Best social media app by far the best and amazing to use
I most like the filters they have and the music and funny sounds TikTok has you can pick from over 100 things to play or edit. The filters and music are my favorites. Also the funny videos TikTok has.
I loved everything about tikTok there isn't one thing to dislike. I love i

In fact, my experience with Tik Tok was successful and enjoyable, especially when watching live videos and talking privately with users. But when I encounter a problem with the use, I contact the working customers and they solve the problem
In fact, and to be honest, my experience with Tik Tok was successful and wonderful, in which I download my own videos and share them with friends. In addition, I communicate with many users in the world and share their videos and opinions with respect.
In terms of the negatives, there are no limits or review standards in the content of users, everything is downloadable and shareable

I feel it is a platform that will definitely grow incrementally in the future and it is best to start investing in it now when the stakes are not high.
TikTok is very popular, especially amongst young audience and it generates a lot of engagement for my business. I think it is not as saturated as other platforms, but it has tremendous potential.
It is hard to reach audience other than gen z, this is the biggest challenge and you cannot go live without having at least 1000 followers.

overall my experience with tiktok is good, because it allows me to reach and connect with more people. it allows you to reach more audiences, and customers.
What I like most about tiktok, are the various functions to get money. I still don't use the platform for business, only as entertainment. but I have researched how to do the integration for business, it looks very easy to use and create.
i don't like the errors that the application presents, especially when opening the application, it always crashes. i know it's the application's problem because the same doesn't happen with other applications. i believe that the platform should create more activities for users to participate in.

Overall, my experience is great and I would definitely still be using TikTok up until the future.
I'm using TikTok since it got popular on our country midst COVID Pandemic. I loved it because I got to see and be entertained seeing people showing their talents and got to see people improved gradually while using TikTok. It's very nice too that they keep on improving. Now they are not just a platform that you can show your talent but also you can sell, promote and affiliate products. It's now widely used in our country and keep on excelling over competitors for they now paying livestream and inviting friends too. Literally everything you need is on TikTok.
One thing i may want them to look after or improved is their security because some uses TikTok in uploading bad contents and children can see it.

I use TikTok daily to promote my motivational videos, which helps me a lot and I recommend it.
The ease in dealing with the application, and its functionalities, especially when you are promoting a video and want to put a song on, you have the option of suggestions, so if you don't want that song you can select another one of your liking.
It lacks a device so you don't see unwanted images, like videos of tragedies or accidents, and a device so that children don't access or view certain pages that have inappropriate content for children.

It is easy to find your footing with TikTok. You're able to target your desired audience easily, and find other like-minded users with the use of hashtags. The sometimes common, sometimes rare ability to go "viral" is helpful in getting the word out/promoting a product/teaching a lesson. It's delivered in a format that is palatable for all audiences.
Even without tagging a video, it is easy to draw in viewers. The scope of TikTok is wide and varied, but also easy to hone in on not only a specific audience, but a specific location (ie; we can easily target an audience from the lower mainland, where we are located).
It is not user-friendly. This is only an issue for the employees that are not as tech savvy. It also limits the audience to a younger crowd, as TikTok isn't used as much by older generations.

you can do a lot of things in it. The new tools for editing are really cool, because it has a lot of features! The algorithm its really great, it understand what the spectator likes and don't like and looks for the type of content you wanna watch. You can easily upload videos and it has a lot of social features there. You can connect with the outside world really easy. It sometimes glitches and takes me to a live video when im watching a TikTok or on my profile. It makes my loose the TikTok ore profile I was watching. It delayed the voices sometimes in a video when you're recording. It randomly shows creepy videos, like there's a fail in the algorithm

I really like using TikTok to share our business photos with our customers. I am able to create fun and captivating videos that not only give our customers something to share but also give us organic followers which helps grow our business. I don’t like how they do the coin system to be able to promote your videos though. It is very misleading and extremely expensive. You get very limited control over who you promote to as well. Overall it is a great way to share content.
I like that I am able to easily share multiple videos and photos, simultaneously, or individually. I can create various types of videos and add many effects to interact with our followers.
I don’t like that the featured music they want you to use is copyrighted and gives trouble with sharing. Also I don’t like the coin system to promote our content.

It's both amazing and addictive all at once. It's funny, inspirational and terrifying.
The editing power that you can use for free. And of coarse it's "for you" algorithm. If you make quality videos, then the algorithm sends it out to more people. Perfect for advertising.
It's automated community guidelines violations system. Plus the fact that there is no more free speech in the world. That includes Tik Tok unfortunately. Even if an appeal is won, The violation stays on your record and never leaves. That is so wrong!

I feel so happy and will definitely continue on using it everyday, it helps me relax and have some fun after the hard working day.
It's so amazing and fun in its own way, with millions of users and videos, we're like family there, and it connects the whole world together by laughing at the same video or dancing to the same song. honestly i use tiktok everyday as it has the best sarcastic videos. me and my friends are sharing videos endlessly, its really making anyone's day. Also its so useful to make videos in drafts or privet, and the filters is so cool, sounds are variable, its so easy to use after you get used to it,making the videos last for 3 minutes is also a helpful feature, i also use tiktok for some video editing. overall its a great app
i have some problem in drafts videos, i feel its not organized or maybe a little bit hard to use,also the Dms need voice messages i think it would be great, lately in the last couple days it's been lagging. Whenever I go to like a video, sometimes I have to press it multiple times in order to do it. And going to pause a video, sometimes it doesn't do it on the first tap. also the ads problem its a bit annoying.

I have been using this app for about 4 years now and I am so happy that my favorite celebrities are in tiktok now and make videos.
I love tiktok especially the fact you don’t stay behind in trends you can see what’s happening to world these days and you can follow people and many more. The best feature of tiktok is that you can follow people and people can follow me also you can make videos and make money. This isn’t one of the best platforms for people who want to achieve their goals and it’s even open if you want to advertise your products but for normal people like me you can learn about products, rating and trends.
I don’t find anything that I would hate about this app or software.

Tiktok is a great app and has a great algorithm that curates content quite effectively. My wife and I, who are very similar in personality and interests, have almost the identical tiktok feed which we both find amusing. We watch around 30 minutes to an hours worth of tiktoks a day, and a few times a week we share our favorites and those that make us laugh. It's great fun and really helps cheer us up after long work days!
Due to how short videos on TikTok are relatively to other platforms, the algorithm pretty quickly curates content accurately to each individuals likes and interests. This is amazing as many platforms, like Youtube, took YEARS for the recommendations to be accurate for me. Other platforms, like Facebook, still don't accurate recommend me content after over 15 years. This helps me stay engaged since I'm only seeing content I want to, namely cats, game development, leftist, LGBTQ+, and news.
The live feature, as mentioned previously, really needs some rework. There already is a tab for the "lives" and that's really the only place that lives should ever be. If a content creator wants to pay to have me see their specific live, even if it isn't related to my curated content, it should popup ONLY when I am in the "lives" section of tiktok. Additionally, the "lives" needs to be better curated...

TikTok helped me find the resources I needed to determine that I have a neurological dysfunction and tools on overcoming the obstacles it creates.
I LIVE being able to follow people who are experts in their field and listen to them answer questions about topics that they are educated in. There’s a million more who are not educated, but you have to be smart about who you follow.
The reporting feature is kind of broken. At least for what’s deemed ok and what’s deemed a bannable offense. Hate speech, misogyny, and crude behavior exhibited by viewers is a huge problem, but that’s human nature. We just need to be able to ban easier.

All in all I love this app. I love the people I've reached with it, as well as the people who have reached me. I'm impressed with tiktok's desire to improve, and track record of following through with such actions. And being that it is the enormous platform that it is, it has played a pivotal role in positive changes, inspiration, enlightenment, entertainment, and connecting with others.
The variety of content, for one. However, for my personal use, there are many pros. I'm able to express myself and my art without having to create long videos, the musical selection available is varied and workable, and I'm able to connect with other artists and creators of all kinds on a supportive level. I also love the boost feature to get your videos seen by a wider audience!
One area of improvement could be the issues with music usage. Business accounts to not have access to the same music clips creator accounts do. (Though this can be solved by switching from business to creator and back at any time) Another issue I've had with music is when I find copyright free & royalty free music to use with my videos, sometimes tiktok will still delete the sound. It's still hit or miss there, but I've noticed their audio library is constantly growing, which is great.

People nowadays tend to skip all those long videos and switch to the short - form videos instead. This is especially true when we don't have that much free time to enjoy the whole entertainment. Tiktok delivers the video's message in a very creative way and only within seconds or maxium to 3 minutes only. This is why I found it so addicting and could not stop checking on it every few hours.
I personally don't like to watch any videos which are longer than 10 minutes. But with Tiktok, I can only spend a few seconds to a few minutes to finish a video. Together with the catchy music, nice filter and very creative video content, it got me hooked right after the first time using it. Moreover, the app is free and very easy to use. This is probably why Tiktok quickly gains millions of users all over the world. Tiktok is not only entertaining but also very helpful in finding new ideas/ analysing lattest trends that can help me growing my ecommerce business
Tiktok does not allow you to skip to the part you want. You have to watch the whole video from the start in order to get to the part you need.

just too funny. I love new characters that bring our times to life, it's quite entertaining, I have been using this app since 2019 I still use it today and I am very satisfied
the event app that turned the world of social networks upside down. I love the format of the short videos and the very diverse content. practical when you want to relax for a few minutes without taking the lead. contrary to what we think there is something for everyone (dance, science, jokes, news, etc.) and the algorithm detects what we like
according to me it lacks a few little things to make it even better like stopping the bugs, creating more filters, stopping deleting all the videos or sound, that's it
