Aura is a LGBTQIA safe space application designed for the iPhone. Using a combination of criteria, the app sorts through restaurants, shops, and hangouts to show users the places that best fit their needs.
Originally, our idea was to create an intuitive, interactive application for users to to find gay friendly businesses in and around UT Austins campus. Auras uses have grown since then. Now users are able to sort through several business options for their various needs. With this app, we hope to increase the number of visibly LGBTQIA friendly businesses in the community.
Here is what some of our supporters have to say about Aura:
“Its nice to know you can find community in spaces on campus. Its nice to know where folks will respect you and your identities.” - Liz Elsen, Assistant Director of UT Austins Gender and Sexuality Center
