After 1.5 years of being on the waitlist, I was accepted to Raya. I paid the monthly fee. The pictures I saw reeked of social climbers. Absolute nobodies. I exited the app after a few minutes of brows...
It’s honestly the worst app. They will take you money and not even try to fix problems if you email them. They’re pretentious and feel very entitled. Waste of money
So much better than every other dating app. Not even close.
Met my partner here so…. high quality people, great for dating and networking. thank you Raya
You can’t filter by age or location. Just gender and if you are looking for networking or dates. A LOT of AI profiles which is wild for them being so “selective”. You constantly fed people thousands o...
Would be an excellent fit for Raya, but if you don’t have an instagram (like myself) you immediately get waitlisted. Some people actively choose NOT to be on social media and there should be other mea...
I’m worth millions of dollars I am number one in my field. I’m famous all over my state. I’m probably the top one percent as far as looks go but yet they don’t accept my application. I’m insulted.
Waste of time. I make great money, have plenty of talents and opportunities, but still wasn’t admitted. This is an app for narcissists who spend must spend all their time on Instagram. What about the ...
Never got a date off this as a good looking guy. Don’t recommend and it’s a waste of time.
What is the point in having a paid service if you have to sit around for an undefined period of time, waiting to be able to use it? What’s the point of a Premium subscription if you can’t even see who...
Maybe 95% of members are in finance, real estate or “founders.” I was hoping for a higher concentration of creatives than on other apps not branded as exclusive but the ratio actually seems to be wors...
They make it sound like they’re better than other apps just by making a little harder to get in, then you have to pay a lot for a dating app that in the end doesn’t work very well, show you just a few...
I have been trying to cancel for several months now. Not once have I received correspondence from your team. This app is a scam and you can’t get out of it despite their agreement stating you can canc...
The problem with this app is it’s really only good for NY or LA. If you live anywhere else then good luck finding matches. The app also does not let you narrow down profiles by location or age, so it’...
Hinge is better no one uses or responds on Raya because they prioritize feminine men who curate their instagrams lol.
People connect and then never reach out it is so weird !
I find this app unhelpful at actually finding real connection. I am shown quality men that live 4000 miles away or men that are in completely different stages of life than myself. Raya feels like a ...
I think hinge gives way more opportunities to communicate with men and get to a first date then Raya Also, the profiles look so basic like if there is only pictures and barely any information about t...
Ok, so I’ve been on this app for 4 months. I would get a lot of matches, with just a few of them actually responding, let alone starting the conversation. A discussion on the social media app approved...
Not a good UI. Mostly showed me people from other cities before people in my own, and then told me I’ve run out of people. Not sure why you need to create scarcity when I’m paying $25 a month for the ...
I matched with women on Raya and on Hinge. They all responded on Hinge which is free. This is a $25/month scam
What’s going to take to get my account approved ???! 😡😡😡
Not worth the hype at all. not a lot of people in the area. Most of the options are in California. And I’m not flying to California to initially figure out if I vibes with somebody.
My friends where right. Absolute trash, its been more than a month and not even an update. Sent them referrals as well and no news from them. Dont even download it
They fixed this app now you get hella matches
Tried emailing support 5 times and still have not heard back.
I really wanted to like Raya, but the swipe limit is honestly ridiculous. You only get to swipe through what feels like 10 or so people before suddenly you’re hit with a wait time, and the wait is SOO...
The people on this app really are interesting and cool! It’s not all celebrities of course, but the quality is visibly very high. It also feels less “algorithm-heavy” than many other platforms.
If I'm on a dating app to meet people, how do I go about meeting people so I can get approved? I'm already the only single person in my circle of friends.
I’m young, attractive, and professional. I’m a professional model and actress for crying out loud, among having a Master’s degree. I have put in multiple referrals and after YEARS I have still not bee...
What happened to you helps the next person decide. A line or two is fine.
