## What is Kiosk Pro Basic?

Kiosk Pro is a flexible solution for any project that makes an iPad available to visitors.

As a specialized web browser, Kiosk Pro Basic can display web pages, documents or audio & video files. Show content that’s hosted online or stored locally on the device.

Kiosk Pro Basic builds on the functionality included in our Lite version, adding offline access to locally-stored content, remote update of app settings, the ability to set custom links in the navigation bar, and connecting to AirPrint enabled printers.

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.

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.

CONTROL THE DISPLAY
• Hide status, address, and/or navigation bars to make your content look like a native app.
• Customize the navigation with your own color scheme and bookmarked links.
• Works in any language - add your own translated text for on-screen alerts and navigation.

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 by uploading a setting configuration onto your own servers.
• Set up email alerts for power loss and/or remote updates.

USE ADVANCED FUNCTIONS WITH OUR JAVASCRIPT API
• Save visitor form data locally on the device.
• Access current device orientation data to optimize how your content is displayed.

Support is built right into our apps with documentation of every feature and direct access to our extensive Knowledge Base.

Kiosk Pro Basic 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 Basic cannot display multiple tabs or pop-ups, other apps, or Flash-based content.

To prevent visitors from exiting Kiosk Pro Basic, 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!

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2026-07-25*

This app is horrible, you can not display anything. All it does is give you a weak explanation of how the app should work. This app provides no tools, help, and poor directions. It is a complete waste of money.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about the negative experience with the app. You can enter a URL in the "Homepage" setting, then tap "Run Kiosk Presentation" to display the website. You can tap "Need Help?" or the information icon (i) next to each setting to get information from our knowledge base. If you have any specific questions, please reach out to us at software-support@kioskgroup.com and we'd be happy to help.

### 1/5 — I’d give this app negative stars if I could

*2025-06-27*

The company’s marketing information is completely misleading, and this app is clumsy and doesn’t display keynote or pdf files as promised in a remotely usable way. There’s no way to try the app since it’s a different feature set than the free version, no refunds available, and the app UX reads like it was created decades ago. AVOID IT.

### 5/5 — Great app and tech support

*2024-03-28*

I’ve been using this app for museum kiosk applications. It is easy to use if you have just a little html experience. I recently had a minor problem with the idle timer and playing videos. The tech support was great! Fast, responsive, and the issue was resolved.

### 5/5 — Works for a video kiosk

*2023-08-10*

Most apps won’t play a local file but Kiosk Pro does. While it can be hard to figure out some parts, the customer support has always been fantastic so we keep using it at our museum.

### 5/5 — Very reliable

*2023-05-26*

Been using for many years and it works great!

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2019-04-10*

Great app and tech support was super responsive

### 1/5 — Super misleading description

*2019-04-03*

Does not easily save an entire website for offline use AT ALL. That's the only thing I bought it for. You have to save it as files locally on your computer which I absolutely cannot get to work. App is difficult, ugly, and the description is SUPER misleading. Absolute waste of a ton of money.

**Developer response:** Hello, I’m sorry for the confusion regarding our app description. Our team is going to review and see how we can improve the description to make this more clear.  If you’d like to contact us via support@kioskproapp.com, we’d be happy to try and help you with storing the files locally.  Otherwise, we have instructions on how to request a refund available at https://www.kioskproapp.com/refund.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-11-26*

It works like a charm, many features, very customizable and the support is fast and really helpful.

### 5/5 — Works Well in Museums

*2018-11-04*

I’ve used this app numerous times to display exhibition content. The ability to stored files natively is a huge plus! Well worth it!

### 1/5 — Submit button doesn’t work

*2018-10-28*

Submit button doesn’t work at the end!!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry that you're experiencing a problem! Since Kiosk Pro is a browser app, the submit button you're seeing is most likely part of the content that's displaying inside of the app. Otherwise, if you believe the button doesn't work because of the app, you can reach out to our support team we'd be happy to try and investigate the problem further: support@kioskproapp.com

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 11.3 — 2025-03-12

NEW FEATURES 
• Added lists of mapped values to exported configuration files that include commented setting names to make them easier to understand and update.  

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS 
• Added a remote update only setting to control whether the app fills the safe area around the notch or Dynamic Island on iPhone with content.  
• Added a remote update only setting to prevent a PDF from being reloaded automatically when the visitor switches to another tab and back.  This behavior keeps the PDF in memory so projects with large PDFs are recommended to test for performance issues prior to enabling this setting in a public kiosk. 

FIXED 
• An issue displaying pages containing an embedded image as a base64 string on devices running iOS/iPadOS 18.  This affected our ability to successfully display Kiosk Pro’s standard error screens when the app was unable to load content.  

We love hearing from our users! If you have feedback or something to share, get in touch with us at software-support@kioskgroup.com. If you've found Kiosk Pro to be a helpful tool for your project, please leave us a rating or review.

### 11.2.2 — 2024-10-10

NEW FEATURES 
• Added lists of mapped values to exported configuration files that include commented setting names to make them easier to understand and update.  
 
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS 
• Automatically disable the iOS/iPadOS Autofill popup option for text fields to prevent access to or storing of Contacts and Passcodes by visitors. This feature is only included in and available for iOS 17+ devices. Added a new remote-update-only setting 'kp_disable_UIMenuAutoFill' if this feature needs to be disabled for devices not available to the general public. 
• Changed the default for 'Allow Universal Links to Open Other Apps' to ON, allowing universal links in HTML pages to open other native apps if installed and supported. These links will only execute if the app is NOT locked in Guided Access or Single App Mode. This change was made to prevent interference with standard link behavior, particularly for JavaScript events triggered by user interactions. Users who have previously installed our 11.2 and/or 11.2.1 update should consider manually updating this setting.  
 
FIXED 
• Corrected an issue where the "Apply" method under "Apply Settings Transferred via AirDrop" was updating settings correctly but incorrectly notified the user that settings had been not updated. 
• Fixed a bug where wildcard domains (e.g. *.example.com) in the Allowed Domains and/or Restricted Domains list were not always being matched correctly for URLs including the ‘www’ subdomain. 
• Resolved an issue causing flickering when loading PDF pages on certain devices. 

We love hearing from our users! If you have feedback or something to share, get in touch with us at software-support@kioskgroup.com. And if you've found Kiosk Pro to be a helpful tool for your project, please consider leaving us a rating or review.

### 11.2.1 — 2024-05-20

NEW FEATURES 
• Added support for the Full Screen Web API, which is enabled by default.  

FIXED 
• Crashing caused by a bug in the Firebase library we use for crash reporting. (Ironic, no?)

### 11.2 — 2024-05-15

NEW FEATURES 
• Added support for Apple’s native Web Inspector tools for devices running iOS/iPadOS 16.4 or later to allow users creating content for Kiosk Pro the ability to inspect page layout and styling, debug JavaScript requests, and more. 

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS 
• If Dark Mode is enabled in system settings, the app will now display certain elements using that theme, including the on-screen keyboard, native JavaScript alerts, and text selection (if enabled).   
• New configuration options for settings exports add the ability to export Managed App Configuration files as PLIST for MDMs that prefer that format, export without commented header information and/or settings names, and automatically minimize file size.  
• Options to validate configuration files for Remote Settings Control and Managed App Configuration have been moved to Advanced Settings as exporting these files is now the recommended best practice, removing the need for validation. 
• Universal links now default to opening in Kiosk Pro’s web view – this behavior can be toggled to allow a universal link in an HTML page to open another native app if installed and supported.  

FIXED  
• PDFs created with a page rotation angle of 90 or 270 degrees were not displayed as expected. 
• Custom URL schemes without any additional parameters were not executing as expected. 
• The app’s progress indicator was not dismissed as expected when following a direct link to a video file. 
• When following a link from a PDF directly to an audio or video file, the PDF layer was not dismissed as expected.

### 11.1.4 — 2023-11-15

CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS 
• Revised permission prompts for system permissions to more clearly articulate why each permission is being requested.
