Ahoy, me harties! Today, I’m gonna share with ye this new app that I discovered and it’s called Dubsmash. Some of ye buccaneers might have heard of it before, aye? That wouldn’t be a surprise because it’s so popular that pirates sailing the seven seas also know about it. It’s my parrot friend who actually told me about this app. Me and these seadogs have been using it for quite some time now so let me share me thoughts with ye lads with this review.
It’s Fun
Dubsmash is a fun video recording application that lets you record a video of yourself, while lip synching on the lines or sound that you chose. If you secretly wanted to be dubber for a long time, this is your chance to make that dream a reality. There are loads of sound clips to choose from and what’s even more fun is that they are not just dialogues spoken by people, but random sounds like that of the animals and other things.
The user interface is pretty straight forward so you would find your way on the options and easily learn how to record a video quickly. It’s no rocket science. For some reason, the icons of the sound categories are simple and cartoonish, but they look cute in the clean white background. While it doesn’t have much features for customization, being able to choose your own language would already count. Doing so would give you sound clips with lines spoken in your language, which adds up to the fun.
Takes Some Practice to Perfect
While getting around the app and its options can be learned fast, synching your lips with the sound can be a little tricky. Your lips could be a bit delayed from the voice on the sound clip after recording, but don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many users, including I, experienced that. Keep practicing and you should get the right timing after a few tries.
Pros and Cons
One of the good things about this fun app is that there are loads of sound clips to choose from and most of them are lines from popular movies, shows, commercials and songs so it would be easy for you to follow. It’s also social as the video you created can be easily shared with your friends on Facebook and WhatsApp. Most sound clips are of good quality so you shouldn’t have problems hearing them. If in case you don’t like any of the sounds on the list, there’s the option to record or upload your own sound. The only downside that I see is that it’s usually difficult at first to make your lips sync with the lines or sound.
Verdict
After using Dubsmash, I could say that this is something that you should definitely add on your apps list. Millions of people, including celebrities have shared their Dubsmash videos online. If you want to join in the fun, this is a must try. It’s free and it’s a lightweight app that doesn’t take much space on your phone, so there’s really nothing to lose
