Ratings and reviews

I am using the software for multiple devices (tablet + mobile computer) and it's absolutely the best! All the configuration (passwords, wifi state, device profile configuration) is just the thing I needed. @ users, who are saying that the app is bad - You should configure it properly, if YOU don't have the know-how then ask someone who does. The best APP for a device lockdown, central management and so on. Satisfied customer.

My clients use this app and they all love it. It does exactly what they need it to do. I wouldn't ordinarily post a review for something I don't use myself but I felt compelled after seeing the negative reviews. Reading over them, it's clear that people are installing this without knowing what it's for. This is to use a device in kiosk mode. If you don't need to lock down your device, don't install it.

We use it mostly to lock our devices (Zebra TC devices) and it does the job well. Some tricks to knows and found if you don't goes via provisioning but so far so good. And also launching a set of app authorized. So we don't really use the browser part. UNLESS for the javascript API provided to be able to show technical information, launch app or service, send back data is working perfectly. That's was not in our plan at first, but now, we couldn't do without. The set of settings available are more than enough for our use cases. And a licence mechanism which is not based on subscription is absolutely game changing. So definitely: Worth it.
