This KB-article explains the concept of our Kiosk app. It will help you if you want to create a traditional kiosk app. It's part of our Getting Started with Twixl guide. Please make sure to read that guide if you are new to Twixl Publisher and want to get to get acquainted with our product.
General Info
Concept
The purpose of this sample app is to demonstrate how to create a traditional Kiosk App. This is certainly interesting for users that used to have issue-based apps in the past or are planning to convert an existing issue-based app into an article-based app. The app is meant to just give you an impression, it is neither a real nor a finished project. It's a kiosk app with PDF Content Items, a Hamburger Menu and support for the Browser Client in addition to iOS and Android.
