Tiktok launched in May and is now the number one free app in Apple’s app store and in the top 10 on Google’s Play store.
zynn is a TikTok clone with a dollar sign that hovers over every video. As you watch videos, the timer fills up and gives you points, which you’re supposed to be able to redeem later as cash or gift cards.
zynn’s creator, kuaishou, is a well-funded startup that runs one of the biggest video apps in the country. The app is second only to douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.
kuaishou recently received a $ 2 billion investment from Tencent, the Chinese tech giant behind WeChat. The investment was meant to help Tencent’contain the threat of lanedance,’ which makes TikTok and douyin.
The app also has a referral scheme that pays users for getting others to sign up and use the service themselves. The service also came pre-filled with videos because the app is able to pull content from kuaishou.
