SureLock is the #1 kiosk lockdown tool for Android that transforms any Android tablet or smartphone into a dedicated Android kiosk. It replaces the default Home Screen or Launcher and restricts access to only admin-approved apps. SureLock has built-in device management capabilities.
Description:
Worried about the misuse of your company-owned Android devices? It has become common to use off-the-shelf mobile devices to run business apps or self-service kiosks. However, device misuse can impact user productivity and result in high maintenance costs and mobile data-usage bills.
Use SureLock to lock-down Android tablets and smartphones and convert them into dedicated Android kiosks, limiting access to just the apps and device features that admins approve. Social media apps, system settings, and other unapproved apps are entirely hidden from the user.
Remote Management:
SureLock includes integrated device management functionality with which you can remotely configure lockdown settings, view, push, pull and manage files, troubleshoot device issues using screen-sharing features and track devices in real-time on Google Maps.
Key Features:
Lock down devices into single-app or multi-app mode
Password protect apps
Auto-launch apps at startup
Control peripherals (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Camera, Screen Orientation, Airplane Mode, Audio, GPS)
Customize Home screen (Layout, App Labels, Wallpaper)
