Local gatherings, right there on the map. TOMO is a community app for finding meetups, social events and weekend gatherings happening near you — on a map. Join a group built around a hobby, a fandom or just making friends, and it doesn't end after one event. This isn't an app where you find an event and you're done. On TOMO the group comes first, and gatherings happen inside it again and again — so you get to know the same faces, a little at a time. 【What you can do on TOMO】 ◆【NEW】Find nearby gatherings on Tomo Map Meetups near you show up as pins. Filter by date, search by station or address, or long-press a spot to start a gathering right there. "What should we do this weekend?" turns into an actual plan. ◆【NEW】Leave a note on the map Pin a spot when you post and your note stays there — a cafe you liked, a local recommendation, somewhere that's buzzing right now. ◆【NEW】Tomoring shows you around Tomoring walks the map and tells you what people nearby are talking about, today's news and the weather. ◆ Real connections through groups Start a group around something you love — idols and fandom, sports, games, the outdoors, food, study sessions, language exchange. It takes minutes. ◆ Meet up for real Plan an offline meetup inside your group. Set the date, place and capacity, invite members, and confirm the venue on the map so nobody gets lost. ◆ Group polls make scheduling easy Create a poll inside the chat — "Choose a date", "Pick one" or "Ask anonymously". The date you land on becomes the gathering's schedule. ◆ Group chat keeps everyone together Text, photos and stickers in real time. Quote replies, reactions and a "read up to here" divider keep the thread clear. ◆ Liven it up with chat stickers 20 stickers featuring our mascot Tomoring — hello, thanks, congrats or a cheer in one tap. ◆ Share memories in the photo album An album your group shares. Keep your meetup photos in one place. ◆ Post to the board and the community Share your everyday life and hobbies with text, photos and video. Group boards keep some conversations members-only. ◆ Event management makes hosting easy Capacity, applications and cancellations are all handled. ◆ Power up your group with support tickets Pool tickets into a group and the whole group gets premium benefits for 30 days. 【Premium group benefits (30 days, 10 support tickets)】 ◆ Storage boost High-capacity, high-quality 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 (individual plan) benefits】 ◆ 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 that stands out at a glance in search. ◆ Full profile viewing See everything other users have made public. 【About the monthly subscription (Tomo Plus)】 - Tomo Plus 1-month membership: ¥480/month - There is no free trial.
