Owner

I created an account for my business and when I changed my username, somehow it made the change BUT also kept my old username so now I’ve got 2 usernames and the wrong one is showing up on my account!

Community Manager

It’s fabulous to be a creator on TikTok and using all features it provides to create, publish and analyze videos.

CHEFE

It pushes content that’s actually interesting and tailored to your vibe, which is something most social media apps still struggle with. Whether you're into cooking, fitness, comedy, weird internet rabbit holes, or just watching dogs do ridiculous things, there’s something for everyone.

Business Owner

What I enjoy most is the ability to follow people who's interest you enjoy. When you click on the tab, you will find the most recent videos they've made and you can continue to scroll and watch until you're caught up. If you accidentally close out of a video and need to find it, you can go to the search bar, type a period and the videos you've watched will be there in order.

content creating

The most notable aspects of TikTok are its tools for encouraging creativity and its highly customized "For You" page, which constantly provides interesting and amusing material according on user interests.

Baker

I don't like the lack of moderation because people tend to post some pretty, rude or inappropriate things, and I also wish that customer service was a little better, people have not been getting their accounts back when they've been hacked and people who are posting, inappropriate or bad content are not being banned.

Teacher

My overall experience with TikTok it's a great source of income as well you can sell and buy products and go live enter contest and gain points

Manger

My favorite application, in fact, I use it for hours throughout the day and create videos that I love on it every day and talk to my friends on it and send them video clips that I like.

We’ve seen great interaction from both existing and potential customers, especially when sharing behind-the-scenes moments and fun crystal facts.

Operations Manager

Great ability to promote your content and drive people to your company or brand as long as you can generate relevant original content

Manager

we received very good brand traffic for our brand by uploading some nice educational short video reels and live streaming and i can say this is the best platform to  increase the brand reach organically.

Master Esthetician

I do not like how you cannot put independent URLs in personal account bios, and that the in-app camera isn't the clearest.

Director

It is a good platform for my business, from promoting, to selling services and offers and also that have a online store

Support

When I add a shopping cart to my video, it gets fewer views. But if I don’t attach a cart, the views are much higher.

It’s helped us connect with a younger audience and build brand awareness in a fun, authentic way.

Content creator

I am really trying to build my account [sensitive content hidden] and it is so disheartening to now be locked out of that account for the second time in a month for multiple weeks with no response from support. If you know anything about the TikTok algorithm, it pushes videos out when you post frequently and consistently so this experience has hurt my growth on that app.

Sometimes the videos say they're going to tell me something but the video ends without them getting to what they were going to tell me.

Graphic Design

What I like least about TikTok is how long it takes to load videos sometimes.

Senior Sales Executive at WhiteWater, Inc.

Maintaining visibility requires posting content consistently, which can take time.

What I like least about TikTok is that I have difficulties sometimes loading a long video.

Sales manager

Amazing app for my birthday to make videos and content.

Great for creating content and posting videos.

Anybody can create a video that can go viral irrespective of the number of followers or location.

What i liked/like the most about tiktok is the layout of it first off, its very entertaining and informative all at the same time.

accounting

I love the way I can engage my audience in such a beautiful way through live telecom or via the comment section of my video post.

What I love most about TikTok is that there are a variety of videos to watch and it will never get old.

I despise that it runs on hate, that there are "sides" of TikTok that are just dogwhistles and nazis, and that they coexist on the same platform that queer people do.

Music

The only thing is that it plays channels from the regions of the Western Balkans that are connected and can be a little wider, so that it does not limit access to users.

Founder

It's an amazing tool for sending out your specific message to the world and add value to people or help them solve problematics with short videos.

Freelance Graphic Designer

It’s also easy to spend too much time scrolling instead of focusing on actual client work, TikTok video

Cofounder, CTO

It takes a little bit of learning to understand what works and what not. If you're a professional, sometimes you have to tone down the level of communication by way more than you'd expect.

I love how the "For you" page is so effective, showcasing content that resonates with me and learning my preferences.

I like how I can connect too all my friends and family and make new friends and find new items that I need!

Social Media Strategist

I love all the features, especially the search as it is optimized to display tiktoks related to one’s search.

Digital marketing manager

Tiktok is a very great platform for content marketing and management, their algorithm promote contents to target audience and increase audience engagement, I strongly recommend

Chef

Highly addictive,some content isn't meant for kids but some how kids have access to that content because security and privacy isn't that tight

Music producer

TikTok is an online entertainment stage for making, sharing and finding brief recordings.

Cashier

I live Tik tok it is easy to use great value for money shopping is top tier I love the music and audio on the post

TikTok was a great place dissociate and disconnect from the world around me, learning about atrocities one second and seeing the most unhinged meme the next.

Account executive

Live streaming with tiktok is easy but it's activated after raising certain numbers of followers. And allows you earn via rewards center.

I hate that they shadowban people speaking against injustice, or people of color just for being people of color, or the same for queer content creators.

Patron

what I liked the most is all the tools that we have available to get a lot of visibility but most people prefer to ignore these tools if necessary (besides there are features to buy visibility which I really liked it)

Despite ongoing privacy and time management issues, TikTok's creative capabilities and tailored content have made my whole experience interesting and amusing.

Senior technician in machinery maintenance

It offers financial rewards to those who are very active on the site and to those who have a large percentage of views and a larger number of followers

Process Engineer

Overall, very happy with TikTok. Although I am not a content creator myself, I enjoy opening TikTok to pass the time watching content when I am bored or don't have much of anything else to do.

Study Coordinator

I like that TikTok has connected me to smaller influencers that are more realistic than some of the mainstream influencers seen on other applications.

I love that the platform is willing to expose your content to audiences and help you increase engagement.
