#1 in the App Store right now 👀
The App Store has a new world champion: Tik Tok.
The karaoke-esque, music-sharing app has been downloaded over 45,000,000 times in the first three months of 2018. That's more downloads than Snapchat, Spotify, and Gmail... combined. 😮
Tik Tok originally launched in China as a lip-syncing app named Douyin with built-in video effects and poweful social network.
It reminds us of when we spent all weekend playing with Mac Photo Booth effects.
Tik Tok was developed by Bytedance, which coincidentally acquired Musical.ly for $1B last year. The apps are basically identical. Musical.ly, Douyin, and Tik Tok now have a combined 100,000,000 monthly active users around the world.
Social is hard. Today many scaredy-cat investors are too afraid to invest in anything competing head-on with Facebook. Rock on, Tik Tok. 👏
P.S. Musical.ly cofounder and co-CEO Alex Zhu may have the best Product Hunt username there is. 😬
