We're looking for a professional-looking tablet app where regular visitors can pick their name from a list and sign in. We also need a record of sign-in times. Is there a ready-made option, or would something like FileMaker be a better fit?
Any simple tablet sign-in apps for regular visitors?

Sine may be worth a look for this. Check the repeat visitor workflow in a demo, especially whether people can select their name directly and whether you can export the sign-in times you need.

SwipedOn is another option to demo. It may be a better use of time than building something in FileMaker if the regular visitor flow and reporting fit what you need out of the box.

Take a look at Simple In/Out too. There is an Android app, though you'll want to check availability for your tablet and confirm how it handles repeat visitors and sign-in records before committing.

Sign In App is another candidate. It has been described as straightforward to set up, with good support and pricing that compared favorably with some alternatives. Still worth getting a current quote and checking the name-list workflow yourself.

I'd be cautious with InVentry until you've checked its current security setup and support arrangements. Concerns raised about it include shared backend credentials, kiosk PIN practices, a file share used to start the backend, and slow support.
Those reports don't establish how a current installation is configured. Ask the vendor how credentials and kiosk access are managed now, and whether they can meet your support requirements.

There were differing reports about whether the kiosk PIN was the same across installations, so that's a good detail to verify rather than assume.
