How it WorksGet the app on
A FREE Mobile App for your Community
distrx is a free location-aware mobile app designed specifically for Main Street communities. As mobile users enter your district, they receive a welcome greeting, and the app opens to reveal everything a visitor wants to know about your community: area events, parking locations, local attractions, map, and a business directory by category. Best of all, when the same visitor travels to another Main Street community, the same mobile app transforms to become the app for that community.
There is no cost to your Main Street and local businesses to participate. Merchants create comprehensive business listings and promotional offers, including in-app and web page listings - all at no cost to the business.
The distrx mobile app also powers historic walking tours and other “apptivities” to engage visitors and invite them to participate in the community.
