Mitron- The Indian alternative overhyped TikTok rival Mitron app comes with a cloned UI as TikTok, everything seems to be the same, and if you were familiar with TikTok so it will take you no time to use the Mitron app. It has almost the same look, design, and templates as used in the TikTok.

Here too you have options like Home, Discover, Create Video, Profile, and by default, you are on the Home page of the app, from where you can access other pages of the app. Here you also get similar buttons for a profile, like a comment, and share, and some icons (a rotating music symbol inside a rotating CD player) like TikTok. But here it doesn’t provide options to view content from the Following and For You section.

Winner: – The winner of this round is Tie because both have the same UI as because Mitron is also using the same design and templates which are used by TikTok, so we can’t consider one as a winner.

Mitron- The overhyped TikTok rival Mitron app comes up with a bunch of features that can be counted on fingers. The app has lots of bugs and lacks. It will be quite shameful but when we tried to create the video in the app, we were unable to shoot the one, even we can’t upload our videos from internal storage too. After creating a video, it will either take you to the home page or the same screen, you will feel like you are wasting your time.

Moreover, it doesn’t offer any kind of video customization option not even basic editing tools, so we can’t expect other advanced video-editing tools from the app. If you go to create a video, you will see four or five options on the screen, one is to flip the camera, flashlight, add sound (in which also, you have selected sound options), a button to shoot video, and other to upload a video.

If you want to shoot a video so you need to press the shoot button until you complete the video and that’s ridiculous. Moreover, when we tried to upload a video using the upload button, it takes a minute to process it and again we are on the same page, it was too irritating. Even after trying for more than 20 times, we are unable to upload a video. The app should be taken for the review and rebuild, as it consists of several bugs it has a greater number of bugs than the features.

Final Verdict

If the overhyped TikTok rival Mitron app wants to compete with a globally famous, strong app than the Mitron app developers really need to work hard in their app. Because right now the app has lots of errors and so many missing features, which are considered as important. You can’t even update your profile, if you try to update it so after you open the app again it will show the default one.

Indians are supporting this app in the flaunt of patriotism when they will start using the app, they will find it so annoying and waste of time. But if the app developer makes changes so it could be the Indian alternative of the TikTok, and we can’t say that it will take place in the global market or not with this buggy interface, it will still take time to get the same popularity and user-base as TikTok throughout the globe.
