Why Progressive Web Apps (PWA)?
Traditional EdTech software vendors force tuition centres into white-labeled App Store apps. This model introduces severe liabilities:
- Apple & Google take 15–30% in-app transaction cuts or mandate external billing restrictions.
- App Store review delays take 3–7 days whenever you need a quick bug fix.
- Students complain about limited phone storage space.
Acadiom Tutor runs as a modern, high-performance PWA. It looks, feels, and performs like a native app while using less than 5MB of storage and updating instantly.
