The Kumunizens have spoken! We’ve compiled some of the top feedback and requests from our users, to fashion this new, upgraded kumu app. 

If you have visited the kumu app recently, you may have noticed that things seem different. So if you’re a little lost, here’s a rundown of all the exciting upgrades on kumu.

 

A new ‘Home’ look and feed 

When you open the app you will be welcomed by the revamped home page. The familiar ‘Explore’, ‘Play’, ‘Shop’ and ‘Campaigns’ tabs that are usually found at the top of your screen, have been replaced by the tabs ‘Follow’, ‘LIVE’ and ‘Discover’. While adjusting may take awhile, the switch-up will make navigating the kumu app a lot easier.

The ‘Follow’ tab automatically lines-up the updates of your followed friends, shows and streamers. So you can conveniently stay up to date on all your favorite content. 

For those looking to hop on a live session in the now, the ‘LIVE’ tab will lead you to active livestreaming shows recording that very moment. Finally, with the new ‘Discover’ feed you can explore something new, find another favorite streamer and immerse in the creative diversity of kumu.
