Distribution is one of the most important aspects of marketing applications. Consumers are not able to purchase them at a traditional store and different distribution channels are required. The main channel for distributing FUV will be the Google, Amazon, Android, and Apple application stores.

Remaining in contact with app stores to ensure that FUV is downloading as it should will be vital to a successful launch. If the app data is not sent to the correct app stores at the correct time, there may be a delay in the availability of the app,
