Got a DJI drone as a birthday present and instead of having me install from the Play store they want me to install an apk directly from their website.

Does anybody know why this app isn't on the play store? Is this legit or just a vector for malware?

i sold my DJI drone recently but used their app. I couldn't tell you why they want it off the play store, but i never experienced an issue with viruses. Google play protect should scan it regardless i believe

I didn't know that Play did that but apparently it will scan the app and remove it is anything is found so that does make me feel a little better about trying it out
