Are you also a fan of KUT or KUTX? Please download the individual versions of those apps as well. Similar features, but with the same great audio. Weve separated the apps so we can bring better and different features to each in the future.

And if youre still using the legacy KUT app, the white one with blues and yellows, please switch to this version and delete the old one. Well be turning it off this summer along with the low-bitrate streams it only supports, going back to the days when the cellular networks could barely handle 24 kbps streams.
