## SafeExamBrowser Description
SafeExamBrowser (SEB) is a secure kiosk web browser environment used to carry out e-assessments that run on exam servers. SEB opens a web browser without an address and search bar, loads a pre-configured webpage and locks an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) into an assessment kiosk mode. This mode prevents students from switching to other apps (unless additional permitted apps are configured), accessing websites and communicating with other students during an exam. SEB enables secure exams on unmanaged iOS devices like students' own iPads as well as on iOS devices owned and managed by an institution. SEB doesn't use a centralized server or cloud service; it can be configured with an API, configuration files, links and QR codes. It can be used with most web-based quiz and e-assessment systems. For improved security and usability, some exam systems provide additional built-in support for SEB. Currently, SEB integrates especially well with learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, OpenOlat, ILIAS and with several non-commercial and commercial exam systems, such as Inspera Assessment, Dugga, Exam.net, EvaExam and Ans.

SEB uses one of the single app modes provided by iOS. After an exam is submitted, SEB can automatically end the app self-lock assessment mode (an exam invigilator could also use a quit password to end the SEB exam session and unlock the device if necessary). 

SEB features an optional Dock displaying buttons for various commands. Instead or in addition, a left slider menu shows a list of open browser tabs and commands which can be used to (if enabled in settings) quit an exam session, jump back to the start page of an exam, reload a web page, and navigate back/forward in the browsing history. 

SEB for iOS uses the same format for encrypted .seb configuration files as the SEB versions for other platforms. Those config files allow to individually configure SEB to display the start page of an exam system or an exam portal page with a list of links to current exams. If SEB for iOS is installed using a mobile device management (MDM) system, its initial configuration can easily be deployed using the "MDM Managed Configuration" feature. You can also directly start an exam with an individual configuration in SEB for iOS using a special config hyperlink. This link can be opened by examinees from Safari, Mail or a messenger app. In addition, you can use QR codes containing SEB links or even full, individual configurations. An exam can directly be started in SEB by using the iOS Camera app or the built-in QR code scanner. 

SEB also works together with Apple Classroom, teachers can start individually configured exams on all student devices. See  for more information.


SafeExamBrowser for iOS was developed by Daniel R. Schneider, ETH Zurich, IT Services, based on the original idea of Safe Exam Browser by Stefan Schneider, University of Giessen
Project concept: Thomas Piendl, Daniel R. Schneider, Damian Büchel, Andreas Hefti, Nadim Ritter, Dirk Bauer, Michael Kern, Kai Reuter, Tobias Halbherr, Karsten Burger, Marco Lehre, Brigitte Schmucki, Oliver Rahs.

Safe Exam Browser is released as freeware. The code is subject to the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 (the "License"); you may only use these files in compliance with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at  .

Important parts of this project have been carried out as part of the program "AAA/SWITCH – e-Infrastructure for e-Science" led by SWITCH, the Swiss National Research and Education Network and the cooperative project "Learning Infrastructure" (part of the CRUS program "Information scientifique: accès, traitement et sauvegarde") coordinated by SWITCH, and was supported by funds from the ETH Board and the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).

Very poor setup
-- Savage144catacrobat, 2025-03-20

### *---- "Old buggy app"
Absolutely useless app that doesn’t work. I don’t understand why professors want us to use such a horrible app that looks like it was programmed in 2005.
-- Usa kid, 2024-10-27

### *---- "iOS 18 support"
Please update this app for iOS 18, Apple had released it recently
-- manbreakout, 2024-09-29

### *---- "IOS 18"
This software does not work with the new apple update IOS 18. Please fix this!
-- Dollar$Gram, 2024-09-20

### *---- "NOT the right software for teachers."
In school we’ve been using this application for a while and it never ceased to amaze me at how many problems it has.
The app:
 -lags
 -freezes
 -outright doesn’t work or even turn on
 -doesn’t save test/exam/quiz progress

To any teacher who is trying to find an alternative way or app to test students, this software is NOT the RIGHT one.

PS: same problems occur on both mobile devices and PC/computer and on all type of OS’s.

Hope you found this review suited for you.
Sincerely.

-- Paul10J, 2022-06-25

### *---- "Too complex"
If this is for exams or quizzes, THANK YOU SO MUCH that you invent it. The thing is when I click the file, the file didn’t open and it skip to a page with Microsoft apps, it took me more than 5 mins to went back to the quiz because the button were so strange. How much time do students have in one quiz? Rly mad at it.

The app often glitches and we can’t log out. I don’t recommend and I hope teachers don’t use it anymore.
-- seth-the-explorer, 2022-02-21

### *---- "Don’t use this app"
My school obligates us to use this app because they think it will prevent us to cheat on tests, but actually it doesn’t. The app is glitchy, is slow, and often freezes the iPad

### *---- "Terrible!"
This app is a disgrace to the App Store. Extremely glitchy and slow and whenever I take an exam it crashes and deletes work. Don’t use!
-- Shevy1, 2021-09-10

### *---- "To kilaw. This app is bad for many reasons."
Update : To the developer your app is bad i mean way too bad no one even gave you a positive review whatsoever. This app should be 0.5/5 . You have the nerve to respond “complain to your teacher “ no wonder this app is 0.5/5 . Stay mad

1- It’s unfair for the android users.
2- Most of us uses our smart phones to finish our exams not a desktop or laptop.
3- I couldn’t found a single positive review on this app and the rating is lower than 1.7/5 !!!!
4- Many users are struggling with glitches and very slow .
5- It’s new app to use on all students and it will make us struggle because it will be unfair for us who don’t cheat .
6- please we don’t want anything to make taking exams much slower than it is .
7- We don’t want to be forced to use those untrused apps just to take a simple quiz or exam
