Fully Exam Kiosk

Overview

Fully Exam Kiosk is an Android app that restricts a device to a configured exam website. It is best suited to schools running web-based exams on Android, especially Moodle exams configured for Safe Exam Browser. Its price makes it an easy option to consider, but its controls depend on Android and on the exam site itself.

During an exam, students can use the configured quiz site and its features, but not other websites, apps, or device features. The app blocks app switching and screen capture. That narrow focus can help keep a school-owned or student-owned Android device on task, but it is not a general lockdown tool for schools using multiple platforms.

Fully Exam Kiosk supports learning management systems that support Safe Exam Browser, including Moodle. Other exam sites can also be used, but their URL must remain secret: if students know it, they can open it in another browser. That makes a compatible LMS a stronger choice when access control matters.

Key features

Exam setup and Moodle integration

Teachers can create an exam configuration and distribute it as an FEK file, permalink, or QR code. Moodle teachers can import a Safe Exam Browser configuration file (.seb) into the exam configurator, which can reduce the need to rebuild an existing setup.

Device restrictions and exits

Safe kiosk mode may require students to grant show-on-top and usage-data access permissions. That gives the app the access it needs to restrict the device, but it adds a setup step that schools should account for, particularly on students’ own devices. Kiosk mode can be stopped using a configured quit link, a password-protected quit button, or a device reboot, giving administrators several ways to end a session.

Data and support

Google Play’s developer-provided data-safety information says the app collects no data, shares none with third parties, and encrypts data in transit. For issues, the listing directs users to email a screenshot and short description to [email protected]. Exam-site speed, bugs, and user experience remain outside the app maker’s control, so the kiosk cannot compensate for a poorly performing exam site.

Pricing

The free plan is a straightforward fit for schools that need these controls on Android without a subscription cost. The stated free period runs at least through the end of 2027; no seat or exam quota is given for the plan.

Platforms

Fully Exam Kiosk supports Android only. That suits schools standardizing on Android devices, including student-owned devices, but schools that need exam lockdown on iOS, macOS, Windows, or web will need another option.

Who it's for

Choose Fully Exam Kiosk if you run web exams on Android, use Moodle or another Safe Exam Browser-compatible LMS, and want to keep students inside the configured quiz site. It is less suitable when you need a cross-platform deployment or must control access to an exam site whose URL cannot be kept secret.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The plan costs nothing, making the app a practical option for schools that need Android exam restrictions without a paid plan.
• Pro: FEK files, permalinks, and QR codes give teachers several ways to distribute configurations; Moodle .seb import can carry existing Safe Exam Browser settings into the configurator.
• Pro: The app blocks app switching and screen capture while restricting other sites and device features during an exam.
• Con: Android-only support rules it out for schools that need consistent controls across different platforms.
• Con: Other exam sites require a secret URL; students who know it can open the site in another browser.
• Con: Safe kiosk mode may require show-on-top and usage-data access permissions, adding a device setup step.
• Con: The app cannot address exam-site speed, bugs, or user experience, which can still affect the exam.

Alternatives

Lockdown Browser Software is a useful place to compare more options if Android-only support is too restrictive.

• Eklavvya is a better fit if you need broader platform coverage and exam quotas: its free plan includes 25 exams and 1 GB storage, while Standard includes 500 exams and 5 GB storage.
• TAO suits teams seeking a broader assessment platform: its free Starter plan is billed per month, free forever, and includes one author seat, 3,000 AI credits per month, and 50 learner test attempts per month.
• Safe Exam Browser is worth considering if you need a free exam browser for Windows, macOS, or iOS rather than an Android-only kiosk.
• ThinkExam is an option if you want a broader assessment service with Android, iOS, and web support; its Standard plan is $3,125 a month, billed annually, for 100 users and unlimited quizzes.
• Aiseptor Secure Browser is an alternative for Windows or macOS deployments that need enforcement layers, a REST API, and signed webhooks; its free offer covers up to three hours per session.
• ExamOnline is another option if you need exam software for Android, iOS, macOS, web, or Windows.
• ExamSoft is another option for exam software on iOS, macOS, web, or Windows.
• Mercer | Mettl is another option for assessment software across API, Linux, macOS, web, or Windows.

Verdict

Fully Exam Kiosk is a strong fit for schools that run Safe Exam Browser-compatible web exams on Android and want app-switching and screen-capture restrictions without a subscription fee. Its strongest reason to choose it is that focused control at no cost; look elsewhere if you need other platforms or cannot keep a non-LMS exam URL secret.
