  • (2022-05-10) Adam Dunsmoor: I used to use it for a while, but the dev is no longer active and does not update the software. His website forum is full of posts with no help at all. I use OpenKiosk now instead (developed by Mozilla): https://openkiosk.mozdevgroup.com/.
  • (2022-02-02) siri1 yut: Good
  • (2020-11-11) Josh Komene: Crashes Chromebook, Used to work fantastic! tired to email the dev but no response? does anyone know of a similar app?
  • (2019-05-21) Adan Rodriguez: Great!, it's a shame that we have to be so Sneaky. Chrome shouldn't play so NASTY. FUG
  • (2019-04-18) Austin Donaubauer: If youre having the white screen issue or just seeing the paring screen, add the app to your desktop and close chrome. Launch
  • (2019-03-29) It`s not bad! This app is a good app for kiosk mode. The handling is very easy. The new update solved a big problem. I'm very satisfied.
  • (2019-03-23) Ger Bruggeman: Kinda usless without a proper manual... The online instruction is inadequate. https://kiosk.cook.company/configuration
  • (2019-03-22) Oliver March: A couple hiccups with the latest updates, but otherwise works great. Would recommend if you need a quick easy kiosk. We're testing and looking into the paid version.
  • (2019-03-21) Eugene Shirnov: Thanks! Works fine for me! Do not exceed Chrome SO version 68!
  • (2019-01-07) QuHarrison Terry: Worked for me and my needs
  • (2018-12-28) ext press: The inactivity reset only works once. After the first reset, it will not do another reset until a cursor is moved. This does not happen in previous version. For now, this app is not working for my kiosk.
  • (2018-11-08) Doc Volz: All it does is show a white screen. When I looked in support there are several people that have this same problem and support has not answered anyone on it. Don't waste your time.
  • (2018-08-30) Srimal Priyanga: "it doesn't have *Kiosk Printing*, so its pretty useless for me atm."
  • (2018-04-27) A.S.K Tutorials And More: This app is great if someone needs to stay on a page with a sign up sheet or something. Only problem is that the app will not open for me on my Chromebook the first startup. The second time, app open fine. Otherwise, useful kiosk app!
  • (2018-04-06) Corey Shano: Great app, just wish there was a little support.
  • (2018-02-01) Accessory Stop: Great kiosk, but I need silent print and persistent cookies, Cookies do not work after reboot. This is a vital function for me!!!
  • (2018-01-08) Michael Davison: Decent Kiosk app with useful features (except the remote feature that does nothing but restart the browser). I would use it, but it doesn't have Kiosk Printing, so its pretty useless for me atm.
  • (2017-11-09) Cuong Tran: My web can't use LocalStorage.
  • (2017-11-07) Farner-Bocken Company: I love this app, works great for everything I need except when I need to click a confirmation pop up box in a pop-uped window. It won't pop up the second pop up, almost like pop ups within pop ups are disabled. Anyone else seeing this issue?
  • (2017-11-03) Stephen Hebbend-Bach: Hopeless! Once installed there is no way to reconfigure it and no support documentation and the developers website now 404's. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!
  • (2017-10-05) Brian Powell: The app works as expected... the only issue I have is when an update is released for the app, the Chromebook powers down after the update is installed... The unplanned shutdowns are not acceptable so I'm working on figuring out how to prevent my Chromebooks from downloading the updates.
  • (2017-09-12) Ryan Cosby: We are currently using this on a Chromebit for digital signage and it does what we need it to do, perfectly. If you're looking to display a webpage for digital signage, I highly recommend this app. The only suggestion that I would have, is adding some more features from the setup page to the remote administration page.
  • (2017-08-22) Mohammad note: Great app
  • (2017-08-07) Sam Lewis: I like this kiosk a lot compared to other offerings. One thing I have a question on is - where are the settings actually saved? Setting it up manually is easy, but I'd like to be able to deploy this to many machines. Deploying the extension is doable, but its configuration is what I want to deploy as well.
  • (2017-07-27) Michal Bernát: Almost perfect, but onscreen keyboard doesn't show up, when focusing on input
  • (2017-07-08) Kubwa Kiume: No help, unintuitive! You cant even enter a http authorization that works. Worst app ever.
  • (2017-05-30) Henk Oosterhuis: Easy app makes terminal a real kiosk!
  • (2017-04-20) Alexander Shields: Works a treat on a chromebox for a public kiosk.
  • (2017-04-03) Gustavo “Gustavo” Varela: Magnific. I hope you can make Android version. Please!!!
  • (2017-03-27) Nader Daei: Good extension for chrome but i need windows touch keyboard to pop up . when they want to type something.
  • (2017-03-25) Very good for locking down to a single url, even doesn't follow links to external sites, using it for google play music.
  • (2017-03-23) Kyle Sanford Jr.: Unfortunately, this kiosk app is useless on a Mac. Hovering at the top or bottom of the screen brings up the menu bar and dock, so the Kiosk app can simply be shut off. It's not suitable for public use on a Mac. On a chromebox, there is no option for an OS screensaver, and since the Kiosk app provides no screensaver option, I can't use this app on a chromebox, either. Regarding the new feature for multiple tabs, I would like to see the ability to RENAME the tabs to anything I'd please. Some websites don't have user friendly bookmark names.
  • (2017-03-17) Sean Bradley: Very decent. This app, combined with autologin, some group policy settings and autohotkey to lock down a few extra key combinations is working a treat. Almost unbreakable.
  • (2017-03-10) Marcio Andrei Pelegrini: Perfect
  • (2017-03-04) Tracy Evans: Cant get Keynote HTML to work. Cant figure out the path to enter. I have exported HTML out of MacOS Keynote. It is in a folder on the desktop. In that folder is an index file.I can drag that index into a Chrome window and it works fine. This is the URL displayed in Chrome: file:///C:/Users/tep/Desktop/test/assets/player/KeynoteDHTMLPlayer.html#0 I have tied variations of this with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
  • (2017-03-01) Cedric Anne: Wow Really works well and you have also resolved the issue of supporting alert dialogs in Kiosk mode!!
  • (2017-01-30) Rob Austin: Was great when I initially installed it on some enterprise Chromeboxes. Now it no longer refreshes content (by using the refresh after inactivity setting) unless I completely wipe the Chromebox and start from scratch. Really bummed about this. <EDIT> Further troubleshooting points in a different direction than this app, which upon further review I am still very fortunate to be able to use. Apologies for jumping the gun. Thanks for creating this and making it available for public consumption! We would be lost without it.
  • (2017-01-24) The Healthcare Messaging Group: Love the app, but would like it even more if I can have a screensaver mode put into it! I'm currently running this off a Chromebox device as an actual kiosk hence I can't enable an OS system screensaver..
  • (2017-01-12) Wow... used this to set up an information kiosk on some old Mac Mini running Windows 7, and it is great! Very fast and easy to use. You just have to remember to disable the Windows touch keyboard or someone could get out. Other than that, the app is perfect and locked down! Just great for what I needed it for.
  • (2017-01-08) Dan Tzoumas: It's the perfect fit for Chromebit!
  • (2016-11-10) 유태종: Great for use in public space
  • (2016-11-04) Could work better on Windows...every morning when I check on devices running Windows 7/8/10 and they are always closed out of the Kiosk Extension as if it was never running to begin with - displaying the Desktop background. Not a big deal I suppose if you have it pinned to your Taskbar. More of a annoyance for novice users if anything. This appears to happen regardless of whether the "Daily Restart" option is checked so maybe it's another checkbox selection causing the issue? Overall great extension though; very helpful for Digital Signage Boards and works very well for Chrome OS as expected.
  • (2016-09-03) NatyaLaya Arts College: Good Very Good
  • (2016-08-25) Andrew Poodle: Does the 'reset' after inactivity also clear cookies/login data for user security?
  • (2016-08-03) I spent about 20 minutes reading how to create a kiosk app for my Chromebit, but this app does everything I need!
  • (2016-07-19) Cpl Catalog: Needs the ability to add a screensaver. We do not want to "dim" the screen because patrons might think the public access catalog is not turned on. For our other catalogs, we use a screensaver that says "Catalog".. we're trying to use Chromesticks for our catalogs now, and if you add the ability for a screensaver, this app will be perfect!
  • (2016-06-22) Water Finetown: good....
  • (2016-06-10) Orçun Madran: Great app, thank you very much for your effort ;)
  • (2016-06-04) Vijay Tailor: It's almost perfect. Please add a close button and implement admin login screen via escape button as well as CTRL+A
  • (2016-04-18) Austin Shea: This is a fantastic app. Just keep in mind that it seems to be made for Chrome OS. Mac and Windows based systems can easily exit the program. Edit: I personally dont think it should maintain cookies. This does not work well with multiple users signing in at different times.
