Signed in? How you navigate Aura depends on whether you are signed in. You'll know whether you're signed in by looking at the bottom right corner. If you're signed in, you'll see your name, and if you're not, you'll see 'My Profile'. If you tap on ‘My Profile’, the app will prompt you to sign up or sign in.

Discover

When you open Aura on your iPhone, you'll land on Discover. Here, you'll see recently added stories as well as story suggestions under various categories.

You'll also see popular stories and Editor’s Choice content. You can find the Discover feed anytime by tapping ‘Discover’ on the bottom left corner of your screen.

Search

Another button that you'll see on the bottom bar is the Search button. This will take you to the Search screen. Enter what you're searching for and then filter the results by story, location or storyteller.

Filtering by story will give you a list of stories for that keyword. These stories may be about a location you searched for or they may contain an object you searched for in one of its chapters.

Filtering by location will show you a list of location pages that are relevant to that keyword. Each location page will then list all the stories available for that location or containing that location in one of their chapters.

Filtering by storyteller will give you a list of storytellers relevant to that keyword. For example, they may have published a story on that particular location or one of their stories may contain an object you searched for in one of its chapters.

Alternatively, you can tap on “Nearby” to find stories near you.

Finally, you can browse all stories under each category, such as Museum, Landmark or City Walk.

My Profile

You can access My Profile by tapping on the bottom right icon. If you're signed in, you'll see your name, and if you're not, you'll see 'My Profile'. If you tap on ‘My Profile’, the app will prompt you to sign up or sign in.
