One app was banned, and there was a shower of numerous short video apps in India. Yes, I am talking about Tiktok, and being honest, I tried to use that app once but never got used to it, and there was a lot of repetitive content. However, recently I came across the HiPi app, Zee5’s exclusive Indian short video app.
If you follow me regularly on this blog or any social media, you know how specific I am regarding spending time on social media for entertainment. I avoid mindless scrolling for hours and prefer something that adds value to my time or is entertaining.
After using HiPi for a while, I agree that HiPi is a place for everyone, from professional influencers to budding talents and loyal fans to meme lovers.
Here are some features of the HiPi app that are impressive
- Unique and different stickers, emoticons, avatars and filters
- It curates your feed as per your preferred language, and there are 10+ languages like English, Hindi, Punjabi, Telugu et al.
- If you are a creator, you can share your created video from HiPi directly to other social media platforms like Facebook & Instagram
- In this app there are different types of short videos, mostly comedy and dance. It also has many other categories: vlogs, food, sports, fitness, and more.
- A comprehensive music library that helps you access trending and viral soundtracks and songs
- Many video transition options, just in case you want to edit your video like a pro.
- Attractive UI (user interface) makes it easy to like, share or download videos.
These are some of the impressive features of the HiPi app but what makes this Indian short video app interesting is that you can win CASH PRIZES for your videos every week. This is an excellent opportunity for budding creators and entertainers as they get to showcase their talent and can win cash also. HiPi, as an Indian short video app, sets a theme for videos every week, and creators have to create videos on that theme; it can be a unique challenge, a dance hook step, a viral dialogue, or anything similar. So not just cash, but they also get featured too.
HiPi indeed stands-out to be a good content creating Indian short video app which is good for viewers too. I remember reading about it a year back on IndianExpress, and I thought, here comes another short video app in India. But this is not just another short video entertainment app; but it’s different and unique.
After surfing on this app for a while, I also felt there was no repetitive content on HiPi that we usually see on other apps.
All in all, I liked this one, and I highly recommend it to you if you are a creator or a viewer.
