About

TOMO

Features
Read full description

TOMO puts events in Japan on a map. Groups host them: join one you like and you'll be notified about its new events. You can attend on your own, even the first time. You join a group before signing up for its events (some groups need approval). Nothing near you yet? Join a group and wait for its next event, or start your own and host one. TOMO is for people living or staying in Japan. The app itself is in English, but hosts write in their own language and place names are in Japanese. TOMO MAP ◆ Find events Tomo Map, in the Discover tab, pins events with a set place. Filter by date, or search by station, address, group or event. Pick a spot to leave a note of up to 40 characters. ◆ Radar and motion When nearby events are off screen, the radar shows their direction and distance. Light pillars, note bubbles and weather effects appear on the map; adjust them in Map options. GROUPS AND EVENTS ◆ Groups Find a hobby or interest group, or start your own. You can use a different nickname and photo in each one. ◆ Events Groups host regular events and one-time Flash Events. Members can press and hold the map to start a Flash Event. Taking sign-ups elsewhere? Add a sign-up link. Owners and admins can practice creating events in the Host guide. ◆ Group map Each place your group meets gets a stamp that darkens the more you meet there. Replay your events, share a map card, and add courses by drawing them or importing a GPX or TCX file. ◆ Chat and polls Chat has quote replies, reactions, @mentions and message search, plus polls: "Pick a date," "Choose one" or "Just asking" (anonymous). Members share posts in the Feed and photos in the Album. ◆ Translation Translate chats, posts and comments between Japanese, Korean and English, on your device. Requires iOS 18 or later. PLAZA AND PAPER PLANES The Plaza is where people talk, with For you, Nearby and Topics tabs. Write a line on a paper plane and fly it. Others catch it, add a line and send it on. "Catch one" gets you a plane, and "The sky right now" on Home shows yours. Planes that change hands go on display in "Journeys" for 30 days after landing, and anyone can send applause. STAYING SAFE Using TOMO to look for a romantic partner is prohibited by our Terms of Service. You can report posts, comments and groups, and block other users. PREMIUM GROUP BENEFITS (30 days, 10 support tickets) Pool tickets into a group and the whole group gets these benefits. ◆ Storage boost High-capacity storage (Premium 100GB / Free 2GB). ◆ Member capacity boost Remove the cap on group size. ◆ Chat room on/off Turn the chat room off if your group doesn't need it. TOMO PLUS BENEFITS (individual plan) ◆ No ads All in-app advertising is hidden. ◆ Unlimited group membership Join as many groups as you like, beyond the usual limit of 10. ◆ Plus member badge A Plus badge appears on your profile card in My Menu. ◆ Full profile viewing See everything other users have made public.
