the sounds on this app are horrible.

Having used both TikTok and its sister app, I noticed that the biggest drawback is definitely the sound library. Since the apps don’t share the same sound resources, you often can’t use the popular audio clips that make TikTok videos so catchy. This limitation can make your videos feel off or less engaging because sound plays such a crucial role in short-form content. What I found helpful was experimenting with original audio or recording custom sounds. While this takes more effort, it allows you to maintain uniqueness and sidesteps the disappointing default sounds. Another tip is to edit your audio externally with apps that offer better sound quality and then upload the improved audio alongside your video. Also, keep an eye on app updates—sometimes developers add new sound libraries or enable sharing features that can enhance the audio experience. Community forums for this app often share tips or new tricks for sourcing better sounds, so engaging there can be beneficial. Overall, while the current sound experience might be frustrating, with some creativity and extra work, you can still produce enjoyable and memorable videos. Don’t let the sound issue discourage you from exploring the platform and finding your unique style.
