TikSave is an app designed to save TikTok videos, often without watermarks, and offers features for organizing and scheduling content. However, recent user reviews overwhelmingly indicate that core functionalities are locked behind a mandatory and expensive subscription, leading to widespread frustration and accusations of deceptive practices.

Recurring themes

Forced Reviews negative
Many users report being forced to leave a 5-star review to access even a single free video save, which often doesn't work or immediately leads to a payment prompt. This tactic skews the overall rating and frustrates users who feel deceived.R6R21R24R28
Paywall/Subscription negative
The most prevalent complaint is that the app, advertised as free, locks almost all functionality behind an expensive weekly subscription. Users are unwilling to pay the high prices (e.g., $15 AUD/week) for a service they believe should be free or much cheaper, especially when free alternatives exist.R6R51R52R53
Saving Issues negative
Many users find that even after attempting to save a video, it only stores within the app and cannot be exported to their camera roll or shared without paying for a subscription. Some also report technical issues like audio not syncing or videos lagging.R58R61R62R63
Cancellation Problems negative
A notable number of users express difficulty in canceling their free trials or subscriptions, leading to unwanted charges and feelings of being scammed.R75R115R119R120

Who it's for

This app is for users who are willing to pay a high weekly subscription for a TikTok video saving and scheduling tool, despite many free alternatives existing. It is NOT for users looking for a free or affordable solution to save TikTok videos, or those who are wary of apps that coerce reviews.

Evidence note: The recent reviews are heavily skewed negative, particularly regarding the paywall and forced reviews. The high lifetime rating of 4.5 is strongly contradicted by the recent sentiment, suggesting a change in app monetization strategy or a successful campaign of coerced positive reviews in the past. The developer's notes mention scheduling and UI improvements, but recent reviews focus almost entirely on the paywall and saving issues, indicating these 'improvements' are inaccessible or overshadowed by the payment model.
