This fullscreen browser is "one-window" browser that opens pre-configured site (should be set in iOS Settings). The application allows to hide status bar and use top and bottom edges of your iPhone (configurable). Kiosk doesn't have any navigation bar to allow real fullscreen experience, you can use swipe gestures to go back/forward. This app could be used with iOS Guided Access to open any educational sites for children. This way they will not be able to use other sites with this browser (option is configured via iOS Settings menu). How to start a Guided Access Session? * Open the app. * Triple tap the side button if it’s iPhone X or later. Triple tap the Home button for iPhone 8 or later. * Click on Guided Access > Tap Start. Or simply * Open the app. * Ask Siri to “Turn on Guided Access”. Please send any feedback to updt.slo@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Kiosk at 4.1 against iBrowser's 1.0. Kiosk also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
iBrowser costs $0.89 and Kiosk $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Kiosk holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kiosk has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of iBrowser's written reviews are positive against 42% of Kiosk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
