NthApp vs Kiosk Launcher

Customize and reconfigure your user's browsing experience with content that can be shared with friends and colleagues. NthApp is an iOS app for iPad and iPhone that allows you as the user to configure the main screen of the app to display your own web or server-based content. Or alternately you can display any public-facing content. You can create and save any number of display configurations using the built-in tap and type view editors. Then you can quickly select any saved configuration for viewing. In this current version creation and editing of configurations is limited to iPad because of space constraints on the iPhone. However, you can export your configurations by email and the receiver of the email can import the configuration into either an iPad or and iPhone by tapping and holding the email attachment file. The user then sees a choice to import and view the content of the configuration. The view editors are tap, type, copy, paste capable and most of your content will require a public facing URL. URLs that contain passwords will be ignored by the app. There is a central scratchpad available from the editor where you can batch copy and paste URLs or other text from an email for instance to make configuration creation and editing less tedious and time consuming. There are four basic kinds of views you can select to add to your configuration: Web, Portfolio, List, and Contact. Types of content that can be viewed in Web and Portfolio views are discussed in more detail in the editor “Tips & Pointers” that is available from any editor. Most public content that you can view in a browser can be added from these editors. A list view can be built with any combination of the four views. A contact view URL needs to reference a file that is in the VCard format.

This is a kiosk-style browser application that launches a single URL in a full-screen web view and can remember your URL for easy access. The launched browser window doesn't have an address bar or other browser elements such as tabs or a status bar. The app is designed for Guided Access (a.k.a. Kiosk mode) usage on iOS and iPadOS devices. Guided Access can be used for restaurant menus, conference presentations, or educational sites for children, where the user of the device is not allowed to close the application or navigate away from the presentation content.
