Mitron app wins against Tiktok, crosses 50 thousand downloads
By MYBRANDBOOK
Tiktok that had made every youth crazy now is facing a biggest heat of competition with new Indian app Mitron. Released just over a month ago, the app has crossed 50 lakh downloads, gaining ground at a time when TikTok is facing a crisis in India from multiple controversies. And at a time when anti-China sentiment is at a high point, you'll also see reviews which give Mitron high ratings, saying, “Lots of bugs. Missing tons of features. Supporting as its Indian, the app has reportedly been developed by IIT Roorkee student Shivank Agarwal, and at first glance, it looks just like a clone of TikTok.
At the time of writing, Mitron is at the number seven spot of Free Apps on the Google Play charts, ahead of Instagram, Helo, and Facebook. It falls behind TikTok (number two) and Aarogya Setu (in the top place) although early this week it was at the number two spot as seen in this tweet by Deepak Abbot, a former Senior Vice President of Paytm.
The app itself is a combination of good branding (using a word that means friends in Hindi, and is also extremely familiar in India as it is often associated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi), and anti-TikTok sentiment could be its moment in the Sun. Aside from that, although user reviews are very positive — the app has a good 4.7 rating right now — the actual content of the reviews is much more critical.
As many users have pointed out, there are lots of bugs, basic features like editing aren't supported, login options are buggy, and adding audio is limited. Despite this, most reviews start with “I am glad this is an Indian platform.”
