FAQ

Some frequently asked questions for newbies.

Can I view a page without using the mobile app?

Yes you can. The native camera app in most modern smartphones contains a QR code reader. You may have to enable it in the setting on your device. If enabled simply open your phone's camera and capture an Outlinx QR code on the display. Your camera app will indicate that it recognizes the QR code. Tap on the scan preview, and you should be able to view the Outlinx page in a web browser. Without the mobile app you can only view the Notes space. You won't be able to interact with Outlinx pages unless you use the mobile app.

Can I make certain Outlinx codes private? Or can anyone scan them and view the page they're linked to?

No, not yet. Currently anybody who scans an Outlinx QR code can view the page that it's linked to. However, there's no way for users to view a page without scanning it which means they have to be in the physical presence of the Outlinx QR, or have a picture of it.

We do want to enable private Outlinx pages and Outlinx QR codes in the future.

Is there a desktop app I can use to manage my Outlinx? Or do I have to do everything thru the mobile app?

No, not yet. Currently the only way to interact with Outlinx pages is thru the mobile app. We would like to build a web app that can be used on a desktop/laptop in the future.

Can I export my data?

No, not yet. This is another feature we'd like to add in the future.

Can I delete my data?

Yes, you can delete your account anytime. To button to delete your account is on the User Settings screen. Se the User Settings section of these instructions for more details.

Is there a subscription fee or do you plan on making Outlinx a subscription service in the future?

Nope. No subscription is necessary to use the Outlinx mobile app. We plan on leaving the currently available features free.

If I use Outlinx to remember what's in my storage bins, then will everyone who uses the app know what I have in my storage bins?

Nope. There's no way for users to view a page without scanning it which means they have to be in the physical presence of the Outlinx QR, or have a picture of it. In other words, there's no way to do a search in the mobile app and find user's pages that you haven't already scanned and saved.
