NthApp vs Kiosk Web 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.

Kiosk Web Launcher helps you open selected websites in a clean, fullscreen browser interface. It is designed for cases where you want a simple web experience without a visible address bar, tabs, or extra browser controls. Add one or more websites, show them as large shortcuts, and let users open the right page with a single tap. The app is useful for personal dashboards, family devices, shared tablets, internal web tools, reception screens, restaurant menus, booking pages, information displays, and other trusted web pages. Key features: - Fullscreen web browsing with minimal interface - One or multiple website shortcuts - Large shortcut tiles for easier use - Automatic app language based on the device language - English fallback when the device language is not supported - Optional simplified experience for Assistive Access-style use - Onboarding screen on first launch - Hidden settings protected by an access code - Domain restriction options for safer navigation - Option to block external app-opening links - Automatic handling for supported .ru certificate chains inside the app browser - Safari-like web app behavior for websites that support standalone mode The app does not install system certificates, does not change Safari settings, and does not modify the iOS Home Screen. Website shortcuts are managed inside the app. For device-level locking, use Apple Guided Access or device management tools provided by iOS.
