MANILA, PHILIPPINES – A new update of the Pinoy live streaming app, kumu, has officially been launched, and is now available for download.

Andrew Pineda, Chief Architect of the kumu app, remarks that upgrades were primarily implemented with specific growth strategies. “We wanted to focus on growing our e-commerce platform and our Kumunities”, he says. “We wanted to make sure they had prominent places in our app. So, we were inspired by other apps in the market that had a lot of features. But, we were able to innovate them to help users navigate the app more seamlessly and intuitively.”
Key updates in kumu’s new version include: New “Home” Page kumu’s new in-app home page has a new structure, with main tabs “Follow”, “LIVE” and “Discover.” Under the new home structure, users can now navigate through their desired content easier.
