About

Storm Touchless

Read full description

Storm Touchless-CX allows use of your smartphone to navigate and select screen content on a self-service kiosk. The kiosk must be fitted with a supported Storm ATP device. The app enables you to interface with the self-service application without having to touch the kiosk screen. When launching the app on your smartphone it identifies and displays the available kiosks in range. Select the kiosk required to ‘quick connect’ using Bluetooth. Select either touchpad mode or keypad mode to navigate the kiosk touchscreen. When finished you can manually disconnect. Alternatively, you can just walk away. The app will disconnect automatically when you leave the addressable zone immediately in front of the kiosk.

Verdict

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Storm Touchless at none against Unified Remote's 1. Storm Touchless also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). Unified Remote's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 17 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
