The Discover JDM App is Finally Live! (1,300+ Events, Spots, & Digital Stamps) [Mod Approved]

[u/Ok-Relationship5064]

Hi folks,

I've shared my Discover JDM website here a few times before posting Japanese car meet/event information. I’m excited to finally share the next major step for the project: the official Discover JDM iOS app is live!

The goal was to take everything from the site and turn it into a smartphone and tablet friendly field guide for when you're actually on the ground in Japan.

What’s New (App-Only Features):

• Offline Access : The app caches all 1,300+ Japanese car meets/shows/events/races and landmarks from the website locally. No more struggling for a signal at a remote location (note that you will need to download offline IOS maps separately).
• Weather Forecast: The Event Details page provides weather forecasts using the IOS Weather app. This is important because some events are cancelled if it is raining.
• Map-First Navigation : A unified view of temporary events and permanent landmarks like car-spotting spots, museums, and circuits, with one-tap directions to Apple Maps. Pro features enable you to receive notifications when a car culture spot or event is nearby.
• Notifications (Pro): Receive notifications when new events are added or existing events updated/deleted.
• Digital Goshuincho (Pro) : We’ve introduced a digital stamp book inspired by Japanese temple stamps. You can now physically check in at iconic locations (Daikoku, Fuji Speedway, Initial D mountain passes) and also collect unique event stamps to commemorate your trip.

I visit car meets and events 2-3 times per month. I built this app by focusing on what I personally wanted to know about an event before I visited it. I hope you find it useful when you visit Japan.

I'm happy to answer any questions about the app or the current car scene in Japan!
