>#2 in the Saudi Arabia App Store

>40K/mo downloads at just 6 months post-launch

How does the app work? Their App Store description reads: “Autoradar is a location-based game designed for car enthusiasts to find, collect, and trade cars. Join 150,000+ car nerds around the globe on the best app for REAL car lovers.”

In the summer of 2024, they started posting on TikTok promoting the website.

This is their most viral account:

They show the app without a name then in the caption, there’s an app name and a referral code.
