Hello,

I'm looking for an iPad app that will present users with our product catalog allowing them to change pages. The iPads will be used as a kisok to allow users to view our product catalog.

The stand that the iPads will be in will cover the Home, on/off and other side buttons. But I don't want users to be able to otherwise get out of the product catalog.

I can have the catalog in any digital format.

Was hoping that someone might know of such an app.


Thanks.

Any suggestions?

I'm fairly certain there is something out there, I'm just having a hard time finding it.

Hi Precision94, I'm looking for the exact same app.
Can you please let me know if you were able to find something?

Thanks! Marco

I ended up using app called My Kiosk.

For it to meet my needs I had to create a micro site of the products.
Plus set a laptop up as a web server so that we would have fast load times. Good thing is that one laptop can distribute to multiple iPads over a private wireless network.

Another issue I ran into is the memory limit. I was trying to load alot of high res images from our catalog. I had to break it down and then it worked.

I am still looking for other options. Preferably a PDF reader with no memory limit, or at least a lot higher.

I think those product catalogs where everything is different becouse specification of product is different so only photos will be common part. In most cases it should be indyvidual app writed on specific conditions. PDF solution is much cheaper, offers less interactivity but you can very simple show your alredy printed product catalog
Sorry for my English, I hope i was helpfull

If you're looking for an app that allows any user to create an interactive iPad based catalog, you may want to check out Padalog. Search for padalog in the app store or go to padalog.org.

I own an 89 year old family business, manufacturing diamond jewelry. I am also part of the team that has created Padalog, in part, to address a need which we saw in our own business. After seeing the promising direction that the app was taking, we spun it off as a separate business unit.

The app is free for users and comes with a modest monthly charge for creaters of content. Padalogs can be reserved for internal use, shared with customers or published for anyone to download.

Within a month or so, the app will have a full suite of functionality, including a shopping cart.

If you want information, please don't hesitate to contact my colleague George. His email is george.white at padalog.org

It looks like the OP found a solution and this thread is a bit old. But in case anyone else is looking for a similar solution, Joe already mentioned our offering, Padalog.

Padalog meets all of the requirements described in the first post, and is designed as a selling tool first and foremost.

Instead of droning on about our features and benefits, the best way to learn about Padalog is to try it for yourself. Right now, we are in pre-launch phase. If you're interested in trying Padalog, PM or email me, and I would be happy to set you up with free access so you can test it for yourself.

Padalog looks decent but HOLY OVERPRICED! $149 a month for only 250 images? That is INSANE.
