    Lasso lets you shoot up to 15-second long videos (no uploads allowed) and overlay popular songs. The app centers around an algorithmic feed of recommended videos, but also lets you tap through hashtags or a Browse page of themed collections.

    Can someone familiar with TikTok say if this is more restrictive than that? I extra don't get it if it's that difficult to even find the kinds of videos that you care about.

        Seems like vine with music is an apt description. Especially the fact that a lot of content is focused around scripted moments similar to vine.
