4 Lock the device to Kiosk Pro
Since Apple devices are primarily designed for personal use, third-party apps like Kiosk Pro are unable to ignore the physical Home button or to prevent access to the Notification Center shown when swiping from the top of the screen.
These standard functions can allow visitors to exit the app, but can be blocked at the system level by using either iOS’s Guided Access feature or Single App Mode. In either of these modes, the device is locked to only show Kiosk Pro and your content so no distractions are available to visitors.
1 Define a homepage
Enter a web address in the Homepage setting to define what your kiosk will display. You can display web-friendly content like a webpage, PDF or video.
You can also store files locally in Kiosk Pro by transferring them to the iPad with iTunes. Then you can enter a filepath in the Homepage setting instead of a URL.
