Auglinn stands out by focusing on:
Creating notes and maps that are visible outdoors with AR
Making your maps discoverable and allowing you to discover maps of other people tailored to your interests
Fostering community engagement through interactive notes and maps
Offering an easy-to-use interface with features like creating maps via "drag-and-drop photos"
Unlike traditional mapping tools, Auglinn provides a dynamic and interactive mapping experience, perfect for creating a more engaging and collaborative environment. 🌍✨
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:
Category | Auglinn app | Auglinn web (Skyview) |
Creating items (boxes) and maps | Requires users to be at the location outdoors | Remote (creation from anywhere) |
Ability to view your items (boxes) and engagements on a list format | Not available | Available |
Ability to export items (boxes) | Not available | Available |
Ability to import items (boxes) - Excels and images | Not available | Available |
Discovering others' maps | Based on your interests, search and different interest categories | Random discovery - through "random maps" |
Ability to follow spaces (maps) | Available | Not available |
Ability to check other users' profiles | Available | Not available |
Pricing | Free | Free plan and paid plans are both available |
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.
