TikTok - Make Your Day 12+

Update is good, just needs changes

Tik Tok is pretty fun once you’ve had it for awhile and have customized your for you page, but there’s just a few little changes that could make the app so much better. The first one that I’ve been thinking about the longest is the fact that you have to have a thousand followers to go Live. Some smaller accounts such as mine would like to go Live for their fans. Some have little arts and crafts and others just wanna talk, but you can do that without having 1k followers. I just think that would be a really nice change that could be made to the app. The second one is having a sorted drafts. It may not be big but it would definitely help some people. Maybe having it in order from oldest to newest and not having it in any order. Maybe be able to change the way it’s ordered like the notifications. Once again, not very big but could definitely be helpful. Another thing is that it would be great if we had a ‘whitelist’ for who can duet us or watch our videos. It’s difficult to post videos you want specific people to see when you are only able to categorize your video as ‘public’, ‘friends only’, and ‘private’. I’ve been needing this change for awhile, and it would help me and many other people so much!!!!

Failing to respond to reports

This is such a great app. I at first downloaded it as a joke (just as a lot of other people have) and as the time went by, I’ve actually enjoyed myself on this app. I’ve even blown up a couple of times, and now I’ve hit up to almost 900 fans! But that was more towards the beginning when I started using the app. For the past couple of months I have noticed a decrease on my growth and came to the conclusion that my content wasn’t being put on the for you page any more. There would be times where I would post two things back to back and they would end up having the same amount of views and likes, and not many, meaning that I was only showing up on the following page which is a lot less looked at than the for you page. I have reported this problem to the report section in the settings on the app and never got a response. I assumed it may not be a big deal and they’ll respond when they can, but that was 2-3 months ago. Every so often I check my email and TikTok to see if I have gotten a response and I have gotten nothing. I have reported about 4 times now leaving my email in the contact info box and have gotten nothing. I enjoy this app and I like making this kind of content and want more people to see it. But as the days go on with no sign of at least any closure on why this has been happening, my motivation lowers. Please fix this problem with response and please respond to me at least.

Great, but needs some changes!!!

Musically was great before the new update and in my opinion it still is amazing, but there are a few things that definitely keep me off of the app more. My number one thing is how the privates or drafts(as they are called now) are organized. After the update when you go to look at your privates you made before the update they go back to the top!!! And that may not bother some people but it definitely bothers me because I like to have them in order of when I made them, but they go back to the top. My number two thing is the way musically organized the privates so that you can’t just look at one musically then just scroll up to see the next one. Musically changes it so that you have to click a musically click on the picture of you in the musically in the top right corner then exit that picture and exit that musically area where it wants you to post it then go to the next one. It was just a lot more convenient before the update. And the last thing that really bugs me(besides the fact they have to fix major bugs in the app) is that musicallys bored where you can favorite sounds NEEDS WiFi to use it, so I’m still saving random musicallys to save sounds too!!!! I don’t have data so I have to save a random musically to save the sound as week as flagging it as a favorite, but It wouldn’t be so bad if it were easier to scroll through your privates then it is. Thank you for reading this if you did!!!!
