The iOS App

Coub is a free app that lets you watch, share and create short looped videos with a soundtrack of your choice.

This gives you a choice of feeds to browse. Tap Explore to see all the Featured coubs. Tap Hot to see the current most popular coubs. And tap Random for a stream of random popular coubs.

Of course you can. Just tap on the coub and bang! You've got full-screen mode. Even better, you can stay in full-screen while browsing all the other coubs.

Tap the horn symbol at the bottom-right of the coub to Like. Tap the button to the right of the horn to recoub.

Tap the camera button at the bottom-centre of the screen. Now you’ll be using the coub camera. Tap the camera button again to start filming, and press it once again to stop. You can film up to 10 seconds of footage.

Tap the library button at the top right. Now you can choose any video from your phone, once it’s less than ten minutes long or 200mb.

Tap the reverse angle button at the bottom left.

Yes. Just tap the lightning symbol at the bottom right to switch it on or off.

So you want to make your coubs a little snazzier? Once you’ve selevted your loop and click next you’ll have a selection of filters to play with.

Tap the music icon at the bottom right. Now you can choose any track from your library, once it’s less than 20mb.

Once you’re ready to publish your coub, you’ll be asked to give it a title and tag it. Titles are compulsory, and tags are optional. But we strongly recommend tagging your coub. It makes it much easier for people to find it.

Under your user pic there’s an Edit Profile button. Tap it and you’ll be able to change your account details and sharing settings.

Tap the button at the bottom right of the screen. You’ll see all the news about who liked and recoubed your coubs, and your new followers.

Just tap the back button at the top-left of your screen.

See the grey lines under the coub’s user pic? Tap them and you’ll see an array of sharing options: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, G+, etc.

Please do. Tap the settings button in the upper left corner and you’ll be able to find and invite friend from your social networks.
