Why is FET Mathematics not on the Play Store
Lower prices
Google charges a fee on app sales and in-app purchases of 15-30%. By not using the Play Store, we are
able to keep our prices as low as possible.

Faster releases and updates
We are able to release new versions and updates faster without Play Store's app review process and having to wait
for Google's approval.

What about app security?
Your device has built in protections such as Play Protect to protect against malicious apps.
You can also utilize anti-viruses to scan the installation .apk file.
Keep in mind that
you will always find the safest installation file from our website, files downloaded or
shared from other sources cannot be guaranteed to be safe from modifications.

Demographics
The development of FET Mathematics started in 2019, a time when data prices were not so affordable in South Africa
especially for those in the rural areas.
Based on the experience of our senior developer from the rural parts
of North West, many high school learners who had smartphones spent most of the time without data and many relied on
sharing installation .apk files using apps like SHAREit.
This was part of the reason why FET Mathematics was developed to be used offline and the installation file to be as small as possible.
While things are getting better in terms of data affordability and internet access, the situation in the rural parts of
South Africa is not progressing at the same rate as in the urban areas and better developed regions.
Conclusion
Depending on user feedback, we might consider a version to be released on the Play Store in the future. If however you
are still in doubt about the security of the .apk installation file, be stress-free and don't install it.
