About ViralIQ

ViralIQ is a mobile app that analyzes short-form videos and explains how likely they are to hold attention. It gives each video a viral score and an engagement prediction before you publish, using AI that the site says is tuned to your niche.

The analysis covers hook strength in the first seconds, retention with the points where viewers drop off, and trend discovery for rising audio and formats. Feedback is framed as practical advice on hooks, audio, pacing and visuals, and the site says there is no limit on the number of videos you can analyze. It is aimed at creators on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube who want data-backed guidance on each upload. The app is distributed through the App Store, with a short web page that links to it.
