  • What is the difference between the Auglinn app vs. the Auglinn Skyview? Are they the same?
    The Auglinn app is designed for mobile use, focusing on discovery of notes and maps (spaces) and outdoor activities. Auglinn Skyview is our web-based tool for PC and Mac, allowing users to drop notes and create maps remotely. It also enables users to view notes and engage with content directly from their desktops. While the Auglinn app and Auglinn Skyview complement each other, we recommend using both for the best experience. If you consider yourself a 'creator,' Skyview will likely be your go-to tool. If you're more of an 'explorer,' the Auglinn app will be indispensable. Signing up on one platform means you don't need to sign up again on the other; your account works seamlessly across both. Below are the key differences between the features of each platform:
  • Is technical mapping skills or experience necessary?
    Nope, not at all! 😊 You don’t need any technical mapping skills or experience to use Auglinn. It’s designed to be user-friendly and accessible for everyone!
  • Can I follow someone at Auglinn?
    You cannot follow individual users. However, from the Auglinn app, you can follow spaces (maps) of other people, and explore a person's profile to discover the Spaces they've created or are following. Auglinn operates as a 'Space-centric' app, focusing on connecting users through maps, shared interests and themes. We prioritize Spaces to foster a community-driven experience.

    Yes, you can cancel anytime. The cancellation will take effect at the end of your billing period. Here is how: Log in to Auglinn Skyview (app.auglinn.com) Click on the avatar with your name in the top-right corner of the Auglinn Skyview page (app.auglinn.com), then select 'Subscription'. Click 'Manage Billing' and that will navigate you to Stripe Server. You can check your current plan’s payment details and cancel your subscription, from Stripe. No refunds are provided, but you will retain access to all features of your current plan until the period ends. If you still need assistance, please contact us via email at info@auglinn.com.

  • Can I upgrade my plan in the middle of a billing cycle?
    Yes, you can upgrade your plan anytime you want. To upgrade to a new plan on Auglinn Skyview, you can follow these steps: Log in to Auglinn Skyview (app.auglinn.com) Click on the avatar with your name in the top-right corner of the Auglinn Skyview page (app.auglinn.com), then select 'Subscription'.

Once your payment information is processed, you will be presented with a success page. Your plan has been updated, and the change will be completed.
  • When does the new plan take effect?
    The new plan takes effect immediately upon upgrading, giving you instant access to all the new features. Your item quota will be increased to the quota of the new plan, and your previously used amount will remain the same. For example, if you were using the 'Skyview Light' which allows you to add 250 items every month, and let's say you had already used 180 of that, and you upgraded to the 'Skyview Pro' which allows 1,500 items, your current subscription quota will be increased to 1,500 items. However, you can only add 1,320 items more until the end of the month.
  • How are changes to my plan billed and charged; do I only pay the difference?
    Upgrading or downgrading a subscription can result in prorated charges. We apply Stripe's proration rules: For example, if you purchased the 'Skyview Pro' plan for $49 per month and then upgraded to the 'Skyview Premium' plan for $139 per month after 15 days, you would be billed $24.50 for the 15 days of 'Skyview Pro' usage and $70.50 for the remaining 15 days of 'Skyview Premium' usage. This totals $95, and after subtracting the $49 you originally paid for 'Skyview Pro,' your extra payment would be $46. For more information about Stripe's proration rules, please check https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/prorations#preview-proration.
  • Can I downgrade anytime?
    Yes, you can downgrade your subscription anytime. The downgrade will take effect at the end of your current billing period, and you won’t be billed for the higher tier in the following periods. To downgrade on Auglinn Skyview, you can follow these steps: Select the avatar in the top-right corner of your Auglinn Skyview dashboard, then select 'Subscription'. Choose the plan that suits your needs and follow the prompts to subscribe. No refunds are provided, but you will retain access to all features of your current plan until the period ends. If you need assistance with refunds, please contact us via email at info@auglinn.com.
  • How will adding new team members to my organization account be billed?
    Good news! 😊 When you add new members, there's no extra billing. Your organization can include as many accounts as your plan allows. All accounts will be sharing the same package and quota.
  • In what currency are Auglinn customer subscriptions and fees charged?

  • What is a space in Auglinn?
    A space in Auglinn is a living map created by users based on their interests. It's a collection of notes and questions (and other items in the future) related to a specific theme or topic that is waiting to be explored. Spaces essentially allow users to carve out a virtual niche tailored to their preferences and interests. Or, they can be used just as a normal map. Once you create boxes, you can post them to any space to which you have access.
  • How can I create my own space?
    To create your space from Auglinn app, simply navigate to the "Search Spaces" filter on the map screen, click on "+ Create New Space," or while creating a new box, select "Post to" and then click "+ Create New Space." Select a name for your space, configure the privacy settings (public, view-only, or private), and begin adding notes to shape your distinct world! To create your space from Auglinn Skyview (web), click on +Create and see the top-left of the screen, where you will find +Create New Space.
  • What are the privacy settings for a space?
    Spaces can be set to: 1) Public: Visible to everyone. 2) View-only: Others can view boxes but cannot add boxes (unless they are given access). 3) Private: Others can neither view nor add boxes (unless they are given access). The boxes in the private spaces will not be visible to anyone unless the admin(s) of that space provide someone with access or the password. Note that putting a box into a public space does not guarantee the visibility of that particular box to everyone in the home page. Several algorithms work on which boxes to show each people on the homepage.
  • If I put a box into a public space, will everyone see my box?
    Placing a box in a public space doesn't automatically ensure its visibility in the home page. Other users can see your boxes if: They actively search for the space where your box is located (via 'Search Spaces' on the map screen in the app). Your box is deemed relevant to them. They zoom in on the map. Relevance is determined by Auglinn's algorithms, which consider user interests, space-specific interests, and the box's engagement history with previous users. In Auglinn Skyview, only people who are admins of your space can view your box.
  • How can I discover spaces created by others?
    In the Auglinn app, you can explore spaces by clicking the 'Discover' button on the right side of the homepage or by navigating to the 'Search Space' section in the search bar on the map screen. The spaces you see will be based on the interests you selected earlier. To update your interests, click "+Add interests" at the top-right. The spaces in the discover section will automatically update to reflect your new interests. In Auglinn Skyview, discovery is random. To explore spaces randomly, simply click on the 'Random Maps' button.
  • Can I contribute to spaces created by others?
    Yes, you can contribute to Public Spaces by dropping notes or questions. View-only spaces and private spaces may require access by the admins of that space for contributions.
  • How can I change my space type (privacy)?
    You can easily adjust the privacy settings of your space in Auglinn Skyview. Here’s how: Navigate to the 'Spaces' section on the Skyview main page. Find the space whose privacy settings you want to change. In the last row of the space listing, locate the 'Privacy' column. Click on it to edit and set the privacy level according to your preferences. This lets you control who can view or interact with your space.
  • How many maps (spaces) can I create?
    There is no limit to the number of spaces you can create; feel free to create as many spaces as you like! 🌍 However, there is a quota for the number of items (e.g. notes) you can leave remotely (from Auglinn Skyview), which depends on the plan you are using.
