About FET Mathematics

This is a tool designed to provide help and aid in the study and practice of the CAPS FET Phase Mathematics for students.

Using this app as a supplement, you can study and practice mathematics comfortably and interactively.
No worries about data costs or unavailability of the network as FET Mathematics runs offline and does not require constant internet connectivity for usage.

FET Mathematics is still in the early stages of development, as such it does not cover everything in the Mathematics Curriculum.

This is the only official place to download FET Mathematics, Nkwe Software is not responsible for any copies of FET Mathematics that are hosted on third party websites.

Pricing

It is free to try out FET Mathematics using the time limited trial, install the app and start for free without entering any payment details.

FET Mathematics works on a once-off payment license based system, after your trial has expired you can buy a 6 or a 12 month license to use the app:

6 Months: R30

12 Months: R60


Request a free extension of your license if you fail Mathematics.

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.
