Add a "Kiosk Mode" to the AccuClass App for the Apple devices
Basically if you were to wall mount the iPad, iPhone, or iPod and needed to lock the device so the students cannot simply exit out of the "Swipe Cards" mode. At the moment I would have to swipe the students myself because of this not being there. You could add a simple pin code or password required to unlock the kiosk mode from that screen. Similarly to how we are doing this on an AccuClass PC Sign-in Station.
This feature has been added since the release of a recent update in the AccuClass app build 2.0.0 for Android and Apple devices alike on September 26, 2016. To setup this lock screen in the app you’ll need go to the “Settings icon > Sign-in Station Unlock Code” to set a password to unlock the Sign-in Station. Then in those same settings toggle the option to “Lock Sign-in Station” which enables/creates the “Kiosk Mode” that everyone was requesting back in October 2013. Now from the Main screen simply click on the Sign-in Station option and select a Classroom to track. If you have further questions please email accuclass@engineerica.com for support.

@StacyDiscenza having the AccuClass app block the use of the hard or soft keys is not able to be programmed into either the Android or Apple version of the AccuClass app due to the nature of mobile application limitations. Due to this natural limitation of normal apps available in both the Apple and Android app stores you'll simply need to mount this Kiosk device in an enclosure that removes access to the home screen button by blocking the back or home buttons.

Also make it so they can't exit from the app at all from a locked screen not just off that page.
