Fast installation directly from this server without waiting for app store delays.
Allow install
Open the downloaded file. If Android prompts “Install unknown apps”, tap Settings and switch on “Allow from this source”.
Sign in & set PIN
Sign in with your DAP account. Choose a quick 4-digit PIN to securely unlock the app in seconds on everyday visits.
Over-the-Air updates
Never worry about manual updates: whenever a new feature or improvement is published, the app downloads and applies it automatically.
Purpose-built for admissions
Everything you need,
Everything you need,
right in your pocket.
Built from the ground up for South African families and applicants: lightweight, battery-friendly, data-saving, and resilient to spotty rural connectivity.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates
New application screens, document requirement enhancements, and bug fixes download in the background straight from our server without requiring you to reinstall APKs.
On-Device Photo Compression
Photos of birth certificates and clinic cards are automatically scaled and compressed right on your phone before uploading, saving your mobile data while keeping text crisp and readable.
Encrypted Vault & 4-Digit PIN
Every stored file is encrypted with AES-256 / libsodium. Your session is protected by a 4-digit unlock PIN with tamper lockout protection.
Live Status & One-Tap Offers
Follow application reviews in real time, fulfill missing document requests, and accept admission offers with a single tap before the deadline expires.
