Kiosk Pro Lite
Share content with visitors
Free
Kiosk Pro Lite is a flexible solution for any project that makes an iPad available to visitors.
Easily create menus, image galleries, contact forms, and more using the built-in no-code editor or link to existing online content and websites. Kiosk Pro Lite displays your content to visitors, allowing you to customize their experience.
ENGAGE VISITORS
• Define a starting point for your kiosk content.
• Draw attention to your kiosk with a looping image carousel.
• Present image galleries, videos and audio multimedia.
• Capture visitor information with a contact form.
MANAGE THE EXPERIENCE
• Hide status, address, and/or navigation bars to make your content look like a native app.
• 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.
LIMIT NAVIGATION
• Prevent visitors from navigating away from your content when linking to external websites.
• 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.
Support is built right into our apps with documentation of every feature and direct access to our extensive Knowledge Base.
To prevent visitors from exiting Kiosk Pro Lite, you must enable Guided Access in the iPad settings or supervise the iPad for Single App Mode through Apple’s Configurator app or your Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. Kiosk Pro Lite cannot display multiple tabs, pop-ups, nor other apps.
Our professional kiosk enclosures secure your iPad from theft or damage - see KioskGroup.com for more details!
more The site "Launch" button in the management dashboard will open the selected site while the app is locked down in Guided Access or Single App Mode.

SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
As mentioned in our last update notes, this update changes our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later.
While we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS, the previous version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.
11.0 14/04/2023
FIXED
• Incorrect navigation to next/previous browser history item in certain circumstances when displaying PDFs.
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.
