Description

Our focus at Raya is to provide members with access to exciting people and opportunities around the world. We are a private community where people come to connect for dating, networking, and friendship. – Prospective members may download the app and submit an application. Once submitted, applications are placed in queue and reviewed continually. An applicant's status can change from "waitlisted" to "accepted" at any time. Once accepted, members have the option to purchase a 1, 6, or 12 month auto-renewing membership and will have full functionality of the entire service while their subscription is active. Raya's community values – trust, respect, and privacy – are core to the membership experience. Members who act in a manner that is not reflective of these values and other community guidelines may have their accounts suspended or terminated. Similarly, Raya exhibits those values as a company by giving members full control over their visibility within the community at all times and ensuring that personal information is secure and never shared, among other things. Initial payment is charged via iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase and auto-renewals are charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the applicable period. Auto-renewal may be turned off at any time through iTunes Account Settings. Any subscription cancellation will be effective at the end of the applicable period.

  • Not a true dating app

    By Itsmedani
    Raya is not a real dating app. Unlike other apps, where profiles are required to include personal information about someone, so you can get a sense of who the person is before matching, Raya only requires a photo, age, job title, and Instagram link. This results in most people on the app not sharing anything about themselves. Even when someone writes a blurb about themselves, the only option to do so is in the description box, and there’s a limited amount of characters available. If Raya wants to position itself as an app to foster true connection, I recommend it require several responses to prompts (for those who are not on the app “just for friends”) that people can send a like to people based on more than just their IG, job, and photos. Also, Raya has no filters other than age. So if ethnicity, background, or religion is important to you in approaching dating, you cannot filter for those preferences. In my experience, the VAST majority of the people I see on Raya (99%+) are useless as I cannot filter out those required preferences. Raya cannot be contacted at all. Not via the app or the website. It keeps sending an error stating the Mail app must be logged in. Very strange. I have had no success ever contacting their support via the contact option on the app or website, hence my review here. The lack of filters, lack of actually requiring people to share a bit about who they are and what they are looking for in regards to dating, is what also results in people not being as responsive or even into this app. Everyone seems to hate it, yet stays on it in the hopes of connecting with that one person they might actually end up chatting with and enjoy. This is rare. And it ends up being a wasted $27/month (including various nudges to upgrade to the higher tier, which has to be so frequent because there are no incentives to upgrade due to the lack of features in this app).

  • Waitlist till I’m buried

    Been on waitlist for about 4 years now. Even tried withdrawing my application to re apply and still didn’t work. Made my Instagram public. Over a year ago and bunch of referrals(around 15-25 to be exact). Very discouraging and literally no hope for my dating life. I’ve checked to see if I got accepted weekly for the past 4 years. I don’t get it. Always a let down . With that being said, just give me a chance! You won’t regret it

    This app is like standing outside a painfully mid club while a balding bouncer who peaked at 24 tells you you can’t get in bc it’s too packed but you can see in and there’s like 5 people dancing and you start to question why you want to even be in there to begin with. Embarrassing

    There’s nothing exclusive about this app. Also, 80% of the matches that come up are from distant countries. Won’t be renewing. Save your money.
