What Kiosk Browser is
Kiosk Browser locks an Android device to a website or web app in full screen, while its companion Kiosk Launcher restricts the device to selected Android apps. The maker lists check-in and booking kiosks, surveys, digital signage, and web-based ordering among the intended uses. Kiosk Browser provides a JavaScript interface for web app integration and accepts barcode and NFC input, including scanner integration for Zebra TC series and M3 Mobile devices. Both apps support bulk JSON configuration, and devices can be provisioned by QR code, NFC, or ADB. The web console supports shared configurations, app installs and updates, remote actions and wipes, email alerts, and device location history; requested screenshots are available for Kiosk Browser. Fleet management also has a REST API. Prices exclude VAT. Standalone trials last five days, while Remote Management trials last 14 days without payment details.
