Locking down iPad

[Djjerry]

I want to setup the iPad and not have to worry about people exiting the app.

Any suggestions on how to "lock down" the iPad

Hi there,
There are 2 things you should do:
1) put a password on the admin area. To do this, go to Settings app -> scroll down on left side until you see WiFi Booth -> find admin password in right pane and add one.
2) if you're worried about it, get a case for your ipad that does not expose the home button, ie. covers up the home button. These are usually made for toddlers/kids but you can find kiosk cases that do this too

I found the solution. It's called 'Guided Access' and restricts your IOS device to one program (as well as other options.

Thanks for posting that here, didn't know about it!

Open "Settings"
Go to "General" > "Accessibility"
Tap on "Guided Access" (Scroll down the page a little, it's under the "Learning" section)
Flip the switch to "ON"
Tap on "Set Passcode" (this will prevent users from leaving "Guided Access" mode)
Enter a passcode.
