Version 3.18 of KioWare for Android is available in models Lite, Basic, and Full with Kiosk Management.

New Features of KioWare for Android include the following:

Features for Customization

Kiosk deployers can now utilize the option to show a specific URL before ending a user session and prior to entering attract mode. A max session time can also be set, limiting the duration of a user session. Kiosk deployers can also disable the messages KioWare serves when blocking navigation to a URL or other error. More specifically, the messages can be set not to be shown on particular domains.

Improving Kiosk Performance…

KioWare for Android version 3.18 adds support for features that improve the kiosk’s ability to recover from system or application errors. A JavaScript Watchdog feature has been added that allows pages to report into KioWare. Using this feature, KioWare can be programmed to automatically restart the browser or application if the page or pages become unresponsive. When exiting KioWare, the exit window has historically stayed up for two minutes before going back to the start page or attract mode. A new configuration has been added to allow deployers to shorten or change this duration.

Support added for Wattbox IP Power Conditioner

KioWare Basic for Android and KioWare Full for Android now support the Wattbox IP Power Conditioner. This device serves as a “smart” outlet. Integration of this device allows for power management of your tablet. It also provides the capability to monitor health and device status (via heartbeats), when used with KioWare Kiosk Management.

All KioWare products can be used to secure devices such as tablets, desktops, and smartphones running Android, Windows, and Chrome Operating Systems.

KioWare kiosk software products lock down your device into kiosk mode, which secures the overall operating system, home screen, and usage of applications. All of these products are available as a free trial at https://m.kioware.com.
