About SpottID: Car Spotting Nearby
The future of car culture starts here. SpottID™ is where every car gets the recognition it deserves. Spot a ride you love at a meet, and instantly connect with the owner. Capture the build, share your shots, and become part of the story behind every car. Whether you're the photographer chasing the perfect angle or the owner who wants to see your car through someone else's lens — SpottID brings the whole community together in one place. SCAN ANY RIDE Scan, and pull up a car's full profile in seconds — year, make, model, color, and more. But SpottID goes deeper than the spec sheet. Read the car's Story straight from the owner: where it came from, what makes it rare, and the history that brought it to the meet. Dig into the Build Sheet for the details that matter — engine and performance, stance and suspension, wheels and tires, and the design touches that make it one of one. From a numbers-matching classic with the original phone still in the console to a built street machine, every scan is a chance to learn what you're really looking at. And every spot you make becomes part of your history. BUILD YOUR GARAGE Create profiles for the cars you own. Add specs, performance details, photos, and the full story behind your build. Show off everything from a numbers-matching classic to your latest project. CONNECT PHOTOGRAPHERS & OWNERS Took an incredible shot at a meet? Send it straight to the owner. Owners review, approve, and collect photos of their car from events everywhere — building a gallery they could never shoot themselves. COLLECT & SHARE SHOTS Every approved photo lives in the car's profile, watermarked and credited. Owners get a growing archive of their ride. Photographers get their work seen by the people who care most. REQUESTS, YOUR WAY Manage everything in one feed. Review incoming photo submissions, track the shots you've sent, and approve or decline with a tap. DISCOVER CAR CULTURE From Testarossas to Supras, daily drivers to garage queens — explore the rides being spotted around you and at the events you attend. This is more than an app. It's a world where every spot becomes a story, every story creates a connection, and every car gets the recognition it deserves. Join the movement.

What’s new
Version 4.51 · Updated October 23, 2026
Meet your Driver Grade. The new Achievements screen tracks rallies attended, photos taken and received, and your drives, then gives you a grade. Record a drive to log your top speed, distance and G-force from your phone's motion sensors. Recording automatically is optional and stays off until you turn it on. Speed and G-force never change your grade or rank, and your Hidden Zones stay private. Also: a cleaner photo collage, a clearer name tag on photos, and a brighter map when you drive solo.
