About this app

HootBoard Device Manager is the official enterprise companion app designed exclusively for organizations, campuses, and communities deploying HootBoard on dedicated touchscreen kiosks and digital signage displays.

As a dedicated Device Policy Controller (DPC), this application provides deep, system-level management to ensure your digital bulletin boards run flawlessly, securely, and without interruption 24/7.

Key Features:

• Automated Kiosk Lockdown: Instantly pins your HootBoard to the screen using native Android Lock Task Mode. Prevents unauthorized users from exiting the app, accessing device settings, or navigating to the underlying Android operating system. • Zero-Touch Provisioning: Deploy new screens in seconds via Android Enterprise QR code enrollment. No manual configuration required. • Silent OTA Updates: Sit back while the manager automatically downloads and installs the latest HootBoard app updates entirely in the background, with zero user intervention required. • Always-On Reliability: Built-in safeguards aggressively bypass battery optimizations and instantly recover the kiosk app if a disruption occurs, ensuring your screens never go dark. • Remote Telemetry & Commands: Connects seamlessly with your HootBoard web dashboard, allowing administrators to monitor real-time online status, sync content, and remotely reboot devices from anywhere. • Hardened Security Policies: Automatically enforces global security policies including disabled lock screens, disabled auto-rotation, and restricted physical hardware buttons.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This application is strictly intended for IT administrators and community managers setting up dedicated (company-owned) devices. It is not meant for personal use.
