For those still using the legacy KUT app donning white hues with blues and yellows, it’s time to transition to this version and bid farewell to the old one. With upcoming plans to discontinue support for the outdated app and its low-bitrate streams this summer, characterized by a bygone era when cellular networks struggled with 24 kbps streams.
