How do I set up an Android tablet Kiosk?

Your WaiverSign subscription includes everything you need for signers to complete documents from nearly any modern device. By pairing a compatible Android tablet with kiosk software, you can turn your WaiverSign signing link into a dedicated check-in station at your physical location.

Choosing a Tablet

Nearly any Android tablet with access to the Google Play Store should be compatible with WaiverSign. If you are purchasing a new tablet, look for something released within the last 12 months to ensure long-term compatibility. Samsung tablets have been a reliable option for many of our clients.

Recommended: Kiosk Browser Lockdown

Kiosk Browser Lockdown is our recommended kiosk app. It offers a one-time per-tablet license with no renewal required. For current pricing, visit android-kiosk.com and select the "Buy Now (Browser)" option.

Kiosk Browser Lockdown locks your tablet to your WaiverSign URL so signers cannot navigate to other websites or access the tablet's home screen. It also includes an automatic timeout that resets the signing page if no input is detected, so the next person in line starts fresh.

Setting Up Kiosk Browser Lockdown

1. Install the app.

Install Kiosk Browser Lockdown from the Google Play Store. Once installed, press your home button. A menu will appear asking you to select a home/launcher. Select Kiosk Browser and choose Always.

This locks your tablet to the Kiosk Browser app. To exit later, tap the three dots in the top right corner, select Exit to Launcher, and enter your 4-digit passcode. The default passcode is 0000.

2. Add your WaiverSign link.

1. Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select Settings.
2. Enter your 4-digit passcode (default is 0000).
3. Select General at the top of the Settings menu.
4. Find Kiosk URL and paste your WaiverSign kiosk URL into that field.

If you don't know how to generate your kiosk URL, see How to create a WaiverSign signing link.

3. Configure optional settings.

• Change your passcode: Navigate to Settings > Admin > Settings Password and set a new passcode that is not easily guessed.
• Add a kiosk title: Navigate to Settings > General > Kiosk Title to display a custom name in the header (for example, "Kiosk 1").
• Adjust the timeout: WaiverSign's kiosk URL automatically times out after 60 seconds of inactivity. If you want a different timeout, Kiosk Browser offers its own setting under Settings > General > Timeout. If you need the timeout to be longer than 60 seconds, use the Standard URL from WaiverSign instead of the kiosk URL, since the kiosk URL's built-in 60-second timeout will override the app setting.

4. Test your setup.

Go through the entire signing process from start to finish to make sure everything works as expected. If you run into any issues, contact our Support Team.

5. Activate your license.

For instructions on entering your license key (or deactivating a license when upgrading to a new tablet), see Kiosk Browser's license guide. For general information about Kiosk Browser Lockdown, visit android-kiosk.com.

Alternative Option: Fully Kiosk Browser

Fully Kiosk Browser & App Lockdown is another option that provides full-screen lockdown with hidden navigation buttons. It offers a free tier, though the free version does not support passcode protection on the settings menu. The paid version adds passcode lockdown for full security. Setup and management are straightforward.

Alternative Option: Google Chrome

If you prefer not to install additional software, you can open your WaiverSign signing link directly in Google Chrome. This is the simplest option, but it offers no lockdown functionality. The URL bar, home button, and back button remain accessible, so signers can freely navigate away from the signing page. We only recommend this for supervised environments where someone is present to manage the tablet.

If you are still experiencing issues, contact our Support Team.
