Musical.ly App: 5 Things Users Need to Know is a post by Josh Smith from Gotta Be Mobile.

Musical.ly is a new app that shot towards the top of the free iPhone app chart and is one that Dubsmash, Instagram and Vine users definitely need to check out.

The musical.ly iPhone app delivers an instant video experience that lets users take part in contests, follow power users, musicians and celebrities as a way to get started. Users can also use the musical.ly app to create instant music videos that combine a variety of effects and lip sync voice overs.

Here’s what you need to know about the insanely popular new iPhone app, that you need to download and check out now.

The musical.ly app is more than just a lip sync video creation tool like Dubsmash, it’s a full on social network with challenges, hilarious and talented creators to entertain you and a powerful tool to make your own music infused videos to share on musical.ly or to save and share privately.

Musical.ly is a free app and we did not find any in-app purchases yet, which is surprising for how much the app offers. Some of the editing features are only available after you share a musical.ly video to a service like Instagram, but most users will probably do this anyway.

Similar to Vine and other recent video apps, users can record multiple clips that splice together for great jump cuts that transition from one scene to the next. After you shoot or import a video to the app you can add music to it and perform a variety of effects to upgrade it.

Crazy Video Effects

While you might stick to making music themed videos in musical.ly, some of the best features focus on the musical.ly video effects.

Users can shoot video in Epic, Slow, Normal, Fast and Time Lapse modes to start, but when it comes time to edit, you can do much more. There is a cool reverse mode that delivers hilarious editing opportunities, a Time Trap  to repeat a cool moment and a Relativity option to change speeds.

These effects really make the app, especially for users who don’t want to get in front of the camera to lip sync.

Musical.ly Challenges & Contests

If you are the type of person who likes to win and compete in challenges, you’ll enjoy the contests and challenges in the musical.ly app. There are a rotating list of trending topics that you can compete in and official musical.ly challenges that allow you to show your talent with a focused topic.

Right now there is a musical.ly lip sync contest and the Don’t Judge Challenge just wrapped up. Tap on the search icon to see trending tags. If you want to create your own version of any song you see someone else lip syncing to you can tap the circle with album art and a small yellow dot in the upper right.

All of your musical.ly videos are in portrait mode, so keep that in mind when you film.

Save Private Musical.ly Videos

If you want to save a musical.ly video to share with one person or to share on another social network you can do that without any hacks or workarounds.

Film your video and edit your video, and where you would normally enter a hashtag, tap on Save private option. This will save to your camera roll and you can also choose to share to other services from the next screen.

You can also share and upload right from your camera roll to get the video where you want it.

Musical.ly Android Release

There is no musical.ly Android release date announced yet and many users are asking the company about a musical.ly Android download on Facebook, but there is no response that we could find.

Nearly every other request on the musical.ly Facebook page is from a user looking for a musical.ly Android app to download and use. The musical.ly Twitter account promised an Android musical.ly release soon, back in June, but the app is still missing on Google Play.
