Triller: Social Videos & Clips

Triller is a decent app it could use some updates such as… -more filters -a “tutorial” when you first download the app to show you your way around Triller -that not every ten or so clips it tells “Sign Up or Sign In Now!” which gets extremely frustrating over time -there should also be a “kids mode” for kids under the age of 12. -certainly there are other issues that I forgot Overall though, Triller is a good social media app even though it may have its flaws. I like using Triller a lot more than TikTok but TikTok has more filters than Triller. Triller should also state that a video/clip/short has explicit language. Other than that this app is one of the best social media apps I’ve ever tried. So I give it 4/5 if the app improves I will give it 5 stars. EDIT: I am extremely thankful for the response from Triller’s Team but I will downgrade my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars because of all the “stripper” content that I have seen. It is also extremely stupid to not have something that states shows explicit images/video topic being inappropriate or explicit language. I hope that something to warn viewers before they watch the video will come soon. (If you do add it please don’t make it a pop-up or just add a “Safe Search” sort of thing to filter through inappropriate clips/shorts so each user can decide even if they don’t have a account)

As soon as you download the app, you see tons of celebrities and music videos, nothing funny or interesting if I am honest. For context, I am an 19 year old. I understand paying celebrities to endorse your app is a great way to get exposure, but the average teenager does not want to see 35 year old celebrities endorsing their products/music videos. After a while of scrolling I realized that the only way to find relevant content to me is to search a hashtag for something I am interested in. The search feature is incredibly slow and laggy and the video previews sometimes don’t load at all. The app overall feels like a boring compilation of celebrities and brand advertisements & is pretty slow. I have an iPhone 13 pro max and I feel as though the app isn’t up to par- technically speaking. If you want teenagers on your app to compete with other short clips apps, consider reevaluating the content shown to us when we first download the app. First impressions are crucial. I see potential in the app but it’s not there yet.

To begin with, yes, I did learn about this app through H3, however I am not a fan and find Ethan to be overrated. I came after seeing coverage on the Phillip Defranco show and wanting to give the app a fair try. 10 minutes into my experience and I’m finding this to be too much like tik tok, but without the curation abilities. I will swipe through 10 dancing videos trying to find some comedy, and what do I get? 10 more dancing videos. And when I finally do find something I like and give it a like, do I get more? No. I’m forced to filter through more dancing videos. Maybe it’s just the user difference, but I feel like there are funny users on here that maybe can’t get attention because of the app settings. I plan to give it more time and see if the algorithm can adjust to my liking, but so far this is such a waste of time when Tik Tok exists and has any content your heart desires. Also, looking into the CEO just based on the DeFranco video, he doesn’t seem like the greatest guy. I’ve seen a lot of the H3 talk, but outside of that and prior to it, he seems to have a scummy history and working with Jake Paul doesn’t help that. Just my opinion, but I think there’s better uses of your time. I will give props to the few creators I’ve found that made me laugh, I hope y’all are able to flourish despite this app and I will keep an eye for more content.
