  • Triller is Challenging TikTok to be King of the Social Video Hill

    Reviewed by Jimbo

    Sharing important moments and events via social media is not only fun but more and more it’s necessary. For many it’s the only way to stay connected with family and friends.

    For some, it’s the only way to build your brand and social following. Of course there are well-established platforms that are now at the top of the heap, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

    But the ground may be shifting and we may be witnessing a changing of the guard. There is an upstart app breathing down TikTok’s neck and could very well fly right by.

    Triller is an innovative new iPhone social video platform app that gives users a whole new way to quickly create slick looking videos and music videos.

    Developed by Triller, LLC, the app features an incredibly easy way to create awesome videos, and a cool new way to share important moments with friends, family, and the world.

    Concept and Functionality:

    In the world of social media, few are leaders, most are followers. Let’s face it, if the celebs you follow are not on a sharing platform you probably won’t be there either. On the other hand, if those who you crave to know everything about are posting on it, you’ll soon be there too.

    In the case of Triller, they have a huge head start with achieving escape velocity because of the notable names who make use of their app. It remains to be seen if they stay with it, but for now, at least, you can track the goings-on of Chance the Rapper, Justin Bieber, Rae Sremmurd, Rita Ora, Kevin Hart, TikTok stars Josh Richards, Noah Beck, and many more.

    Add to that the privacy concerns about using TikTok and we may very well be witnessing a perfect storm of factors that will combine to get this puppy into orbit. BTW, you may ask, “aren’t they all the same?”. Well, no. Triller tells you right up front that they collect usage info and you can modify that in Settings.

    Features:

    As far as usability goes, we love how easy to navigate, and put really cool videos together, especially for first time users. Setting up the app is a breeze.

    We’re also quite impressed that you don’t have to even register to begin enjoying content. Of course, as you’d expect, you do have to register using Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, your phone number or an email address to see your friend’s videos. We love the flexibility here!

    If you prefer music videos, just tap the music symbol and you’ll see lots to choose from.

    You can also quickly see what’s hot by checking out the “Leaderboard”, “Active” or any trending hashtags such as “#BLM”.

    Getting your creative projects out there is as easy as hitting the “plus” sign to begin your own social videos or music videos.

    Triller comes with plenty of awesome features to make your videos even more awesome. It will do a lot for you and, as you might expect, that can be a double-edged sword.

    Putting together a video that your friends will enjoy is about as easy as it can be but with all that power comes a restriction on your ability to control every aspect of it.

    For example, it’s super simple to add music via Apple Music and that’s great, as long as the music you want to add is there. Plus, Triller controls what part of the song is used, you don’t have the ability to fine tune the segment you want.

    Value:

    Triller is available to download from the App Store for free and is designed for iPhone.

    Overall, Triller is a fantastic social video network that offers incredibly easy ways to create and share videos and music videos with friends, family, and more.

    Triller requires iOS 11.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

  • Front Runners is a Great Combination of Endless Running and Politics

    Reviewed by Sarah Hanlon

    Whether you’re into politics or just enjoying the show from the sidelines, you may need to take a break from it all.

    Front Runners is a casual endless running game that is a great way to relax, have some fun, and take a much needed break from the current political hoopla.

    Developed by UX Fit, Inc., it features numerous hysterical cartoon images of famous political candidates and the opportunity to compete with other players around the world.

    Concept and Gameplay:

    With 2020 being a major election year in the United States, it’s without surprise that politics are a big talking point right now with many folks on either side getting angry and uptight.

    Front Runners is your chance to relax and chill as you experience its entertaining and comedic twist on the political process, which is actually pretty refreshing.

    You can play as a variety of political candidates, most of which you have to unlock one way or another. This endless running game requires you to swipe up, down, left, or right to dodge obstacles such as the media or even the Coronavirus.

    While running and avoiding obstacles you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the west coast.

    As you’re running, you’ll collect votes that can be counted towards your position on the leaderboard or used to purchase additional items like candidates and uniforms.

    However, you’re going to need to run for quite a bit of time seeing as the price for purchases is a bit steep. The better you get at the game, though, the more votes you’ll earn with each run.

    Features:

    Front Runners iPhone Game

    The first thing you’ll notice when you start this game is the well-done fun colorful cartoon graphics. They perfectly match the spirit and tone of the game.

    But perhaps the best part about Front Runners is the actual gameplay itself. It’s pretty straightforward and simple – don’t hit anything and you’ll get a high score.

    The main reason why I really enjoy games like this is that you’re allowed to zone out and focus on just the game.

    This is a great “pick up and play” game that you don’t have to labor over and think much about. You may even get so good that you surprise yourself with new high scores!

    Along with additional candidates, you can also unlock a new map in Front Runners by spending gold coins.

    These coins are purchased with real money and can also be used to resume where you left off if you end up hitting something. If you don’t want to spend money, you can choose to watch an ad instead.

    Value:

    Front Runners is available to download from the App Store for free and is supported by ads.

    Though you can purchase coin bundles, it doesn’t look like there’s an option to turn the ads off with payment.

    Overall, Front Runners is a very fun endless running game regardless of your political leaning and even if you’re not into the political scene at all.

    The gameplay and graphics are great and it’s actually pretty challenging to get a decent high score. I certainly recommend giving it a try.

    Front Runners requires iOS 10.0 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
