Ratings and reviews

The app suits my needs but today I got locked in and I could not escape!!! When entering the passcode the onscreen keyboard was blocked by the app itself and quickly disappeared. Luckily my tablet is slow and I was able to restart the device by tapping the restart button twice faster than the block of the app. After this experience, I immediately uninstalled the app. For developers: in one of the previous sessions I managed to escape without a passcode by repeating the same actions. end of char

This app is such a strong kiosk application that not even I can escape it, even after hours trying the four corners to leave it. Had no choice but to drain the batteries and restarting my phone. Why not shut down the phone? Kipware prevented everything but turning my phone into a single website. While I can recommend this app if you want a robust kiosk software, it was one hell of a chore to exit it.

Was able to download and begin configuration before even purchasing it. Huge plus! I was able to get it working almost exactly the way I wanted in a very short amount of time. When I was satisfied with how the product worked after some testing I purchased the licensing, and deployed about a dozen employee timeclock kiosks at my company using this software. Locks down the tablets perfectly and keeps them limited to the employee timeclock web portal. I added a nice attract screen for when the device isn't in use, which looks great! Highly recommend the product!
