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 632 users.

I sent support tickets in and heard nothing from support. On 2/18, I got back into my account on my own because I had set up a passkey for TikTok studio. I changed all the hackers info back to mine and started posting again. I even posted a video about my experience and how I got my account back by myself. On 2/27, I went to open TikTok and got a message that my account was locked and asked by support to confirm information to verify that it was me. I immediately responded with the information. 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. I also do TT shop on that account so to not have access to it is limiting financial opportunities. I still have heard nothing from TikTok support. For an app with millions of users, please put some of the money you make into your support team because I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience on this app. ----- ### "TikTok all around the clock" — 5.0/5 > **Cassandra** | *17 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about TikTok is that it's a great platform to engage with people around the world and chat with people in groups and live > > **Cons**: Nothing I like least about TikTok this app this platform is the greatest of all I love this platform > > 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 ----- ### "A Powerful Tool for Financial Education—If Used Wisely" — 4.0/5 > **Darisa** | *8 July 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Surprisingly valuable finance and tax-related content. Great platform to share accounting tips in a simplified, engaging way. Helps reach younger audiences with financial literacy. > > **Cons**: A lot of misinformation around tax and finance topics. Algorithm favors trends over credibility. Can be a distraction if not used with clear boundaries. > > As an accountant, I initially underestimated TikTok, but it's proven to be a surprisingly effective tool for sharing financial knowledge and simplifying complex topics like tax deductions, budgeting, or business expenses. ----- Page: 1 / 27\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/354082/tiktok?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/354082/tiktok) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
