Ratings and reviews

Customization on the kiosk mode is 'OK'. You do see some weirdness sometimes with the way some shortcuts (web-based) display. Only real issue, there's about a 50% chance for a background to actually set during enrollment on most Android devices for me. 🤷 I think there's room for improvement, but it's a good utility to be able to lock down devices or 'simplify' them for users. I wish the Home Screen allowed or incorporated some static widgets? Like areas where notes or info could be displayed?

I get what this is trying to do and that it's aimed at whole organizations, but having the device enrolled to the organization is really too much work for small businesses that are just looking to set up a little kiosk to maybe just advertise their product/app. It's completely unusable for people like that.

I'd like to be able to brand the wallpaper on these devices (we use the multi-app mode. I'd also love to make use of the admin unlock PIN but can't see any documentation on how to implement this Also, It doesn't seem to support landscape mode for Android tablets
