At Phones Review we like to keep readers informed about some of the apps grabbing plenty of attention, and one of those at the moment is Dubsmash for Android and iOS devices. This is a really fun messaging app that has become hugely popular, although we’ve noticed that Dubsmash app problems are being reported by some users.

We’re not taking away anything from this app by mentioning a few issues with it, as it’s very enjoyable and for most users it has been trouble-free. The simple idea behind the app is that users can get in touch with their family and friends by recording a selfie video to which they can add famous movie quotes, TV quotes and more. The dubbed videos can then be shared with those they choose, and you can see more about this in a Dubsmash video that we embedded in our previous article.

The free app was last updated on December 22 and the majority of users are obviously loving it, as it has an exceptionally high user recommendation of 5 stars on iTunes for the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, and 4.2 for Android on Google Play. However, we have spotted a few problems on user reviews on Google Play, which may explain the lower rating for the Android version (although still high). The majority of the complaints are concerned with difficulties sharing the video messages or sound issues.

Dubsmash app problems

For instance one Dubsmash user comments “Cannot share on Messenger. Great app, funny as hell but please could you tell me why I cannot share my videos on Facebook messenger?” Another user says, “It’s good but… I cannot share neither on Facebook nor on Instagram. I can only make the videos, watch them and save them in the gallery. It’s a very nice app but useless if we can’t share the videos.”

In more comments one user says, “Genius App. Sharing doesn’t work with most sharing services (except Whatasapp),” and another says, “Good but can’t share. I can’t share to Instagram only Facebook messenger and Whatsapp! Can’t even get the videos to download onto my phone!!”

These are just a few examples of what’s being said about the app and we also saw a few reports from Samsung Galaxy S5 users saying the sound isn’t playing. For example the day after the last update one person said, “S5. Sound will not play when recording. It was yesterday and now no longer doing it. Will change rating once fixed.”

We would hope that these are not widespread issues, and that doesn’t seem likely given the high ratings the Dubmash app is generating. Nevertheless we’d like to hear from you with your own thoughts about this popular app. Are you enjoying Dubsmash and finding it problem free, or have you noticed any niggling issues with the app such as the ones above?

    Bought the dubsmash app on my surface in the app store only to realise that this is just a collection of other peoples videos! Went to googleplay to be told its not compatible 🙁

  5. Derek Baker says:

    Every time I want to upload a sound from a video, the app closes suddenly. I have an Iphone 4 with iOS 7.1.2. I try to upload it from the website too, but it doesn’t work either.

  8. No name says:

    after the last update it stopped working the only thing you could see in the videos, was darkness. I deleted by porpuse to download it again hoping that it would be fixed. Unfortunately, going on Play Store I realised I couldn’t even downloaded! When I pussed the download button a message appear: ‘You can’t download this app’ Please fix it!

    5. Ahmad Chaudhary says:

      friend just download this app on your laptop through google and send it on your mobile through data cable then install it and enjjoy

    6. syed shadab says:

      I have the perfect reason why this happened. Your device is compatible but it shows its not compatible. You will just have to download DUBSMASH v1.0.3 whereas in Google play it’s 1.0.8 am 100% sure that this will work (pH. No. +919036492960) (email =sshussain000@gmail.com)
      Thank you.

  39. hazel Llaneta says:

    The problem on my dubsmash app is the video I can play the video I made but it is pixilated/ blured / it has a little squares. How can I fix it?

  45. BEN says:

    IF YOUR PHONE SAYS IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE IN THE PLAY STORE…. DOWNLOAD APP FILE (APK) ONLINE AND INSTALL. BYPASSES THE NOT COMPATIBLE RESTRICTIONS THAT THE DEVELOPERS PUT.

  48. Shyam says:

    I have downloaded and installed the apk file from a random site. I can listen to the clips and can create as well…but donno how to create videos

  58. Nisha Rebelgurl says:

    Is this app made for iphones only? Because my phone is Samsung Galaxy Duos and after when i record my dub, it will show as “processing video” but end up the page will come back to “record dub” again. I got back to the page so many times that I cannot even see my video! Very irritating, annoying, and disappointing. Please try to fix this issue. Thanks.

    If your mobile is not compatible Try installing through .Apk file version 1.0.3 of dubsmash, it should wrk if not then download the latest version and install over the previous version as an update ! 🙂

  119. Ni says:

    My sound is not working when I record. And I’m not the only one. The sound plays a major part for the app so it should be sorted otherwise it defeats the object entirely. So many complaints about mishmash.Looks like this app will disappear as quickly as it appeared.

  120. Adeel Ahmed Shaikh says:

  128. Petr J says:

  130. Nazia Tayyab says:

    It’s a great app! I can share my videos as well but the problem is that, it doesn’t work well for Samsung Galaxy S5! The video is quite dark and the quality is poor…we can edit and filter the videos in iPhones and iOS but not in Android.

  131. suthan says:

    Please don’t use this application.. if you want to use means please read the terms and conditions.. it may indulge in your personal details especially your “contacts and photos”so be carefull

  134. Bryan says:

    I have MotoX Android phone. I am stuck during install. I get to.the screen about.language and it states that I do not have internet connection and I cannot proceed. I am connected so I am not sure what is wrong….. Any ideas?

  168. Gems says:

    It’s a fun app indeed, but it is useless when I cannot share the video. I try to log in but the error message keeps popping up. I don’t know what’s wrong with the app or maybe because I just upgrade my iphone6 software to 9.1 and the app doesn’t responds well I guess. Hope Dubsmash staffs to fix this soon !!!

  169. Arjun Nair says:

    Guys with iphone, i have found a work-around for sharing the videos..
    1. share from dubsmash
    2. Choose watsapp
    3. Crop/rotate the video
    4. Send

    This is working out for me.. Try and let me know if its working for you too 🙂

    Arjun Nair

  170. Hemant says:

    I Cropped the video just a little bit and sent it. IT WORKED!! So iPhone requires a little tweek in the existing video. Do it. You are welcome already 🙂

    Just the same. My insta app and dubsmash app are already updated. Can someone help me please?😢

    1. Intan Permana (Pandaa) says:

      I have same problem like you, I try to looking a solve but is use less. But right now I know why instagram can’t upload video and says that there’s an issue importing my video and try again, it because instagram and your smartphone version doesn’t support, so you have to change the instagram to low version, for example version 5.0.5. I’ve tried it and it worked
