Overview
The Carly app is the mobile side of Carly's Saudi car marketplace, published by One Sky Company. Buyers search inspected used cars with filters, see warranty, return and financing terms, and buy from their phone. It lists 100K+ downloads on Google Play.
The Challenge
A car is a big purchase, and the app has to make it feel safe on a phone screen.
01
Warranty, return, financing and inspection terms all need to fit on a small screen without burying the car.
02
Buyers compare many listings, so search and filters have to cut a large inventory down fast.
03
The app has to match the website's flows and the Carly brand in English and Arabic.
Our Approach
Filters to find a car, guarantees to decide on it.
01
Filter-first search
The app leads with search filters (brand, model, year, price) so buyers get to cars in their budget quickly.
02
Guarantees as content
The warranty, 7-day return, financing and inspection appear as named features, so the reasons to trust Carly are visible before anyone asks.
03
One system with web
The app follows the website's language and flows, so buyers can start on one and finish on the other.
