Question 3

What is the difference between the Auglinn app vs. the Auglinn Skyview? Are they the same?

Accepted Answer

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:

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!

Question 5

Can I follow someone at Auglinn?

Accepted Answer

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.
