About Kiosk Pro Lite
Kiosk Pro is a flexible solution for any project that makes an iPad available to visitors.
As a specialized web browser, Kiosk Pro Lite can display web pages, documents or audio & video files hosted online.
ATTRACT VISITORS
• Define a homepage as the starting place for the presentation.
• Set an idle timer so that when a visitor walks away, the next person will have a fresh experience, starting right at the beginning.
• Increase visitor turnover at your kiosk by setting a browsing time limit.
LIMIT NAVIGATION
• Specify what’s off limits on the web by whitelisting specific allowed domains.
• Block access to other apps, including the native email or phone, that could otherwise be opened through links.
• Disable touch interaction when used for digital signage.
CONTROL THE DISPLAY
• Hide status, address, and/or navigation bars to make your content look like a native app.
• Includes a ‘Powered By Kiosk Pro’ watermark at the bottom of the screen. This is removed in paid versions.
Support is built right into our apps with documentation of every feature and direct access to our extensive Knowledge Base.
Kiosk Pro Lite is compatible with most web content, including HTML web pages, PDFs, and multimedia (including .mp4 video). While certain Powerpoint, Keynote, and Word files are also supported, they are displayed as static documents. Kiosk Pro Lite cannot display multiple tabs or pop-ups, other apps, or Flash-based content.
To prevent visitors from exiting Kiosk Pro Lite, you must enable Guided Access in the iPad settings or use Apple’s Configurator app to supervise the iPad into Single App Mode.
Our professional kiosk enclosures secure your iPad from theft or damage. See KioskGroup.com for more details!

Apr 14, 2023
NEW FEATURES
• Changed PDF sizing behavior to better support devices that are not permanently mounted in place. When viewed, PDFs will automatically be sized to fit the entire page into the view based on the current device orientation. This behavior can be customized in paid versions of the app.
• Our PDF display library now supports a wider variety of link widgets and named actions, including NextPage, PrevPage, FirstPage, and LastPage as defined in the official Adobe PDF specification.
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
• Revised the layout of the app’s standard navigation bar with the PDF multi-page icon shifting to the left of the bar with other navigational elements.
• Improved handling of Basic HTTP Authentication requests by a web server in certain scenarios.
• Our PDF display library now supports two new URL parameters for troubleshooting to allow you to increase the size of all link rectangles by a certain percentage and/or to highlight all links on a page.
• A new URL parameter is now supported to display a specific PDF using the native WebView PDF viewer instead of Kiosk Pro’s PDF library if preferred.
FIXED
• PDFs displayed on darker backgrounds showed a single pixel, white outline on edges that did not fill the screen.
• A crash that occurred when repeatedly highlighting text inside a Domain list setting view (like Allowed Domains, for example).
SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
As mentioned in our last update notes, this update changes our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later.
While we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS, the previous version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.

Jan 17, 2023
FIXED
• Incorrect navigation to next/previous browser history item in certain circumstances when displaying PDFs.
SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS
In the next update, we will be changing our deployment target to devices running iOS or iPadOS 12.4 or later.
With the release of Xcode 14 (the development environment for iOS/iPadOS apps) this fall, Apple ended support for compiling applications for iPads and iPhones with 32-bit processors. To allow our team to continue to develop Kiosk Pro in modern versions of Xcode and be able to fully support current and upcoming versions of iOS and iPadOS, we are removing support for these 32-bit devices. As all 64-bit iPads are currently eligible to update to iOS 12.5.6 or later, we are moving our deployment target to the next available breakpoint.
This means we will no longer offer app updates for devices running older versions of iOS. This 10.5 version will remain available to download on older devices that have purchased a license in the past.
