Q: When can I download?

Q: How does the app work?
A: To post, tap the “new post” button, which allows you to tag and post at your current location. Here, you can see your newly placed content in augmented reality, as well as others around you. You can also decide the visibility of your post:
● Public (everyone on the app)
● Followers (only those who follow you)
● Friends (followers that you also follow back)
● Near me (only those within a certain radius of the post)
● Private (visible to only you)
Q: How is this app different from other social networking sites?
A: The augmented reality technology allows users to showcase their personalities, search for others based on personality types, and meet new people organically. When you use Spotselfie™, you’re making connections with those around you to promote social interaction in the real world, connecting with people faster and with more physical interaction than you normally would using traditional social media platforms.
Q: What are the app’s features?
● Main Feed: Within the main feed, you can filter what content you want to see by categories, such as “Following” or “Near Me,” where you will only be able to see content posted within a certain radius.
● My Profile: You can change your profile picture, name, username (if available), as well as add a website/link and a bio, which is limited to 80 characters.
● urMojo™: Users will have the opportunity to answer 16 questions in order to be matched with users who have similar interests. This creates a personalized social network for each user. Tapping the magnifying glass at the top of the code editor screen will open a list of matches based on the user’s answers to the 16 questions. The list is laid out in descending order, with the top account(s) being the closest match. The exact percentage of each match is always provided. Users can also decide who can find and interact with their content based on their own Mojo. Create your own social network with urMojo!
● AR Stickers: Tapping on the “place” button at the bottom of the “New Sticker” screen will place a sticker in your current location. You can change the visibility/placement of the sticker, as well as decide if you want to link the sticker to your profile. If this setting is active, other users will be able to tap on the sticker in the AR View, which will direct them to your profile.
● AR View: To actually view Spotselfies posted by others, make sure you’re on the “Spotselfie” filter located at the top. Placing a new Spotselfie is done by tapping the photo or video icon, then you can decide the visibility of your post by tapping the arrow next to the current visibility setting. This will open the “Visibility Options” screen where you can choose your desired visibility setting.
● Inbox: View notifications for several interactions:

Swiping left on the screen switches over to the “Near Me” tab, which shows a list of accounts in close physical proximity.
● Profiles in AR: To view Profiles of unacquainted users, make sure you’re on the “people” filter located at the top. Here, user’s profile pictures will be floating above their heads, similar to Spotselfies. You can filter through these profiles by using the slider located above the navigation bar. From the start, the slider will be set to a 0% match, which means every profile within the location will be visible.

Q: How do you prevent people from stalking and harassing others on the app?
