APP SHARE

Kumu is the largest video sharing and e-commerce social networking service in the Philippines. The app aims to become the platform that champions Filipino voices from all over the world, creating a vibrant online culture filled with positivity and possibilities, and a universal space where all Filipinos can feel at home. Kumu tries to become a “super app” that combines the functionalities of other popular apps like YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook into one. It also enables its users to get paid by becoming a livestreamer, get rewarded by participating in various promotions run on Kumu, and win cash prizes by engaging the endlessly fun livestream challenges.

On iOS AppStore, Kumu Livestream Community’s rating is 4.3 out of 5.0, with 2,200 user reviews. On Google Play, its rating is 3.7 out of 5.0, with 116,790 user reviews and more than 5,000,000 installs.

Kumu has attracted a huge number of users to install and chat with fellow Filipinos. The rating of this app is not bad on iOS AppStore, but it is not good enough on Google Play, which means that, although the app has attracted millions of new users, it still has a lot of room for improvement in providing quality services to its users. Last but not least, it is also worth mentioning that it ranks No. 10 in the ranking of Highest Profit on Google Play.

Kumu is unique among similar social apps of its kind. Not only does it have the features that other social apps have—users from around the world can communicate with others and share their stories through their own livestream channels—but it also has some unique features, for example, users can participate in those inspirational and fun live games that give them a chance to win some cash and cool prizes. In the Kumunity—an online community of Filipino users, it is convenient for users to share their posts and videos to other social platforms like Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, twitter, etc., which makes the app more practical, convenient and useful than other social apps.
