The app started as Musical.ly, which was a lip-syncing app that allowed users to create short music videos. In 2017, Musical.ly rebranded as TikTok and launched new features including a wider range of filters and effects for videos as well as the ability to customize the length of each video clip, instead of only being able to record 15 seconds or less. The application's main feature is its ease of use. It can be accessed with just one tap on your phone so you can quickly record and post videos without having to download anything else. With just a few taps you can also share your videos on other social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram. > > Verdict: Rated **4.6/5** by 646 users.

Just thanking god to have a platform given to me to make me happy as well as other consumers > > Happy, interesting lives, a great way to grow a following no matter who you are easy to use platform for talent scouting ----- ### "A Great Way To Waste Time" — 1.0/5 > **Percival** | *10 July 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I loved doom-scrolling on it, and commenting on/interacting with various kinds of content and people, and sending throngs of videos to my friends and family. > > **Cons**: I hate that it took away my attention span, that it is essentially Coco Melon for adults. 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. 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. I hate that they can revoke accounts at the tip of a hat, for no reason. > > 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. It is emotional whiplash and it was unhealthy for me to use - I am glad I left. ----- ### "Terrific TikTok" — 5.0/5 > **Reagan** | *9 April 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that you can view all kinds of different videos and from all around the world. I think that TikTok has an amazing value for money as well as customer support, and I never have any issues or bugs with it. It is very easy to use and you can customize it however you want. Great music and audio and you can make your own sounds as well. Screen sharing is also super easy to do\! > > **Cons**: The only con that I have with TikTok personally is that there are so many sponsored videos on my feed, which I do not love, but I can just scroll past them and it is no big deal at all\! > > Overall I love TikTok and I will always use it, I have been a user of TikTok before it was even called TikTok\! I have always loved this app and I will always love it. I never have any issues with it and I use it pretty much every single day\! ----- ### "A great platform for exponential rewards, but beware of time" — 4.0/5 > **Niccolò** | *30 June 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great tool to use for business, to grow your business. It requires lots of commitment and basic skills, but the rewards of organic growth are by far the best. The best thing is that it's free. You can start, experiment, understand what works and go viral for free. Great for B2C mostly, but also B2B if done in the correct way > > **Cons**: 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. Virality trends are always changing and you need to "scroll" a lot to see what works and what sticks. Easy to waste time by blending work and entertainment > > Overall, I've started using TikTok exclusively for work and It's immediately clear the potential it has. It takes time and dedication to produce content and understand what works and what doesn't. It's an amazing tool or organic growth, if done correctly. Beware, it's easy to get distracted into doomscrolling while you work. ----- Page: 1 / 27\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/354082/tiktok?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/354082/tiktok) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
