Viddy

Using Viddy is fairly intuitive, especially for users familiar with other media sharing apps like Instagram. Users create a unique Viddy account or use Facebook or Twitter to log in. From the settings menu, users will find options to add friends, edit profile, download additional effects and soundtracks, configure linked networks like Facebook, set up notifications, modify privacy settings, and visit the help center. Users create videos using the in-app camera or by selecting a video from their own video library, then choose a cover image, add an effect and soundtrack, give the video a title and description, set or remove the location, and set sharing privacy. Users can also browse, comment on, and "like" popular videos or videos uploaded by friends.

Sexual innuendo and sexually explicit language are fairly common in user comments and in certain videos. Though Viddy blocks videos depicting sex acts, kids still might encounter sexually suggestive videos. Videos and profile images depicting girls and women showing cleavage are also common. Viddy’s Terms of Service prohibits uploading pornography or obscene content. 

Though Viddy prohibits users from using its service for commercial endeavors, kids may come across videos promoting a commercial brand or celebrity.
