What Is In the Library

Every video here is a real UGC example for an app or a piece of software: made by a creator, found on TikTok or Instagram, and checked before it is added. A video only gets in when it clearly outperformed its creator: at least 50,000 views and at least ten times more views than the account has followers. That filter removes big accounts that get views no matter what, and leaves formats you can actually copy.

The library covers apps and software. For UGC examples from beauty, fashion, food, pets and other categories, sorted by type from unboxings to street interviews, see ugc-examples.com.

Outliers only

Each video got far more views than its creator has followers. Every tile shows by how much, like 12×.

Hook and format

Every video is tagged with its format and hook type, and the hook text that appeared on screen.

Why it worked

A short note on what made the video travel, based on the whole video, not just the caption.

How To Use It

If you make UGC, pick your niche and sort by biggest outliers to find formats you have not tried yet. Save the hook lines that stop you scrolling and rewrite them for the apps you work with.

If you run UGC for an app, pick your niche or look up a competitor in the app filter, and compare the hooks that won against the ones in your briefs. The videos are a quick way to show a creator what "good" looks like before they film. Inside viral.app, the full library is part of UGC trend discovery, where the winning patterns turn into creator briefs.

Free to use, unlimited with a free account.
Without an account you can browse a daily preview of the library, run 5 searches and open 3 full breakdowns a day. With a free account, creator or brand, the library has no daily limits. Brands also get the AI Copilot and tracking for their own creators in the viral.app 14-day free trial.

FAQ

From public TikTok and Instagram posts. We search both platforms for app and software UGC every few hours and keep the videos that clearly outperformed their creator. An AI that watches each video checks its format and quality before it is added, and we filter out our customers' own accounts and campaign videos.
