Hello everyone
Can my calculator app be used by the public without logging in?
Let’s say I have made a calculator app for my survey. I’ve completed my survey and do not need any more submissions but I wish to make the app available to the public. I’ve tried embedding the iframe in my wordpress website but it requires logging into kobotoolbox. Is there a way around this? Thanks for your help.

Could you outline in detail so that our dev team could have a look at it. Maybe this could be helpful for the entire community.
Hi
This is a modification of a clinical tool used to grade the seveirty of eczema. It can be used by patients and reserchers to assess the effectiveness of treatment. I would like to make it available online either embeded on my wordpress site or as an android app. The user just needs to note the score or print out the score without the need to submit any data. This Attached is the xls file. Severity_score.xlsx (7.4 KB) Thanks for your help.
Yes, if you’ve completed your survey and don’t require additional submissions, you can share the calculator app publicly without the need for logging in
Embedding the iframe on your WordPress website should work; ensure the embedded content settings allow public access.

This would honestly be really useful for a lot of people. There are plenty of calculator-style tools where users only need the result locally and don’t need accounts, submissions, or stored data at all.
A public “calculator mode” with no login requirement could make KoboToolbox useful beyond surveys and data collection. I’ve seen similar demand while working on a browser-based utility tool; people usually prefer fast access with zero friction when they’re just trying to calculate something quickly.
