Qatar Living is a free lifestyle mobile app that allows you to buy and sell properties and services in Qatar easily. This app has various e-commerce platform features such as selling and advertising goods, allowing you to contact merchants through the app’s supported communication tools, and even switch between languages—although only English and Arabic are available.

Like other classified ads apps, Qatar Living is focused on one country and primarily offers essentials like housing, vehicles, jobs, and services. It’s the official mobile app for the Qatar Living website, qatarliving.com, and displays its information in a much more compact form.

All the essentials you need

With Qatar Living, residents and visitors of Qatar can access a wide variety of goods and services on their mobile devices. This app mainly accepts properties to be sold and bought, such as apartments, villas, hotel rooms, and commercial spaces. It also covers vehicles like cars, motorcycles, and even boats. Categories like electronics, furniture, and fashion are included in its catalog, too. 

With the “living” part in its name, the app also offers job ads for industries like accounting and sales, and services like housekeeping and computer repairs. This lifestyle app has nearly everything you’ll need. Take note, however, that unlike most e-commerce apps, this one doesn’t allow you to buy products through it. There are no e-wallet or card payment options here; you can only contact the seller and transact outside.

The interface is easy to use. The home page immediately displays the search bar, as well as featured products. On the bottom bar, there are five buttons: Home, Browse, Create Ad, My Ads, and More. Most of them are self-explanatory but “Create Ad” is for posting what you want to sell while “More” shows the settings and social media links. It works well enough but also often crashes and freezes.

Can be improved

All in all, Qatar Living is a good app to have even if you’re a tourist but want to try out only classified ads in the country. While the app’s performance is often unstable, its wide catalog of products to choose from makes it an interesting app to have while in the country. Just don’t forget that you can’t transact directly on it.
