Kiosk Pro is a flexible solution for any project that makes an iPad available to visitors.
As a specialized web browser, Kiosk Pro can display web pages, documents or audio & video files. Show content that’s hosted online or stored locally on the device.
Kiosk Pro Enterprise builds on the functionality included in our Plus version, adding our JavaScript API to access common kiosk peripherals like thermal printers and magnetic stripe card readers, to scan QR and barcodes using the iPad’s cameras, and to send full-screen content to an external display.
ATTRACT VISITORS
• Define a homepage as the starting place for the presentation.
• Set an idle timer so that when a visitor walks away, the next person will have a fresh experience, starting right at the beginning.
• Increase visitor turnover at your kiosk by setting a browsing time limit.
• Clear the cache and/or cookies to secure personal information.
• Display a screensaver loop using local images and/or videos.
LIMIT NAVIGATION
• Specify what’s off limits on the web by creating lists of allowed & restricted domains.
• Block access to other apps, including the native email or phone, that could otherwise be opened through links.
• Disable touch interaction when used for digital signage.
• Autofill username & password for specific URLs.
CONTROL THE DISPLAY
• Hide status, address, and/or navigation bars to make your content look like a native app.
• Allow windows to open in multiple tabs.
• Customize the navigation with your own bookmarked links and custom interface.
• Works in any language - add your own translated text for on-screen alerts and navigation.
• Lock your content to a specific orientation.
WORKS OFFLINE
• Store content locally for offline viewing.
• Shift between online and offline content automatically if your device drops its Internet connection.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT
• Update your app settings or content files by uploading them onto your own servers or by syncing with your Dropbox account.
• Set up email alerts for power loss, remote updates, or motion detection.
• Have your kiosks check in with regular heartbeats and monitor all your kiosks from a single location through our cloud-based Remote Management Server.
MANAGE AVAILABILITY & POWER USE
• Create a schedule to control when the kiosk is available for use.
• Control the screen brightness from inside the app settings or dim to minimum brightness while idle.
USE ADVANCED FUNCTIONS WITH OUR JAVASCRIPT API
• Access the iPad’s camera for photos, videos, and UPC/QR code scanning.
• Save visitor form data locally on the device and collect signatures.
• Connect to magnetic-stripe card readers, thermal kiosk printers, external monitors and more.
Support is built right into our apps with documentation of every feature and direct access to our extensive Knowledge Base.
Kiosk Pro Enterprise is compatible with most web content, including HTML web pages, PDFs, and multimedia (including .mp4 video). While certain Powerpoint, Keynote, and Word files are also supported, they are displayed as static documents. Kiosk Pro Enterprise cannot display pop-ups, other apps, or Flash-based content.
To prevent visitors from exiting Kiosk Pro Enterprise, you must enable Guided Access in the iPad settings or use Apple’s Configurator app to supervise the iPad into Single App Mode.
Our professional kiosk enclosures secure your iPad from theft or damage. See KioskGroup.com for more details!

Kiosk Pro Enterprise version 11.0.3
Updated At: 2023-05-09
Changes: May 9, 2023
Version 11.0.3
FIXED
• Locally stored files whose filenames contained spaces (or other special characters that would require encoding when used as a URL) in combination with uppercase letters were not being recognized by the app. A change in iOS/iPadOS 16 caused the app to automatically convert text strings (like our Homepage setting) to lowercase when encoding spaces and other special characters. As the local file system is case-sensitive on iOS/iPadOS, the app was then unable to match the text string to the actual file.
• Complex URLs with specific combinations of special characters could not be processed by the app.

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Change to server endpoint used for communications with the Remote Management Server.
FIXED
• A bug introduced when we added support for Center Stage causing the app to request microphone permissions when using our JavaScript API to capture photos. This permission is now only requested when capturing video.
• Screen brightness was not being reset correctly in certain scenarios involving Night Mode in combination with the Reduce Screen Brightness feature.
• When Display Black Background was enabled & Night Mode was interrupted, the app sometimes displayed a white screen instead of loading PDF content.
• Incorrect navigation to next/previous browser history item in certain circumstances when displaying PDFs or image galleries.
• Crash occurring on devices running iOS 9 when testing a Remote Settings Control XML file for errors.
• When displaying a Screensaver in Single Video Sync mode, the Idle Time Behavior setting was not being applied correctly.
SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
In the next update, we will be changing our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later.
With the release of Xcode 14 (the development environment for iOS/iPadOS apps) this fall, Apple ended support for compiling applications for iPads and iPhones with 32-bit processors. To allow our team to continue to develop Kiosk Pro in modern versions of Xcode and be able to fully support current and upcoming versions of iOS and iPadOS, we are removing support for these 32-bit devices. As all 64-bit iPads are currently eligible to update to iOS 12.5.6 or later, we are moving our deployment target to the next available breakpoint.
This means we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS. This 10.5 version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.
Kiosk Pro Enterprise version 10.4.3
Updated At: 2022-05-25
Changes: May 25, 2022 Version 10.4.3
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Added version name, version number and export date metadata to exported configuration files.
FIXED
• Tapping the home icon after leaving Activation Mode would hide the bottom navigation bar.
• Custom help image file for scanning barcodes and QR codes through the device’s native cameras was not shown as expected.
Kiosk Pro Enterprise version 10.4.2
Updated At: 2022-05-07
Changes: May 7, 2022 Version 10.4.2
FIXED
• Crash caused by migration of log storage to a new format.
