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.

  • Update: LinkedIn for dating

    My OG rating was 1 star due to a UX/UI issue that didn’t allow me to complete my profile. I deleted the app entirely, forgot about it then idly wondered as I’m single again maybe it was worth checking to see. Now that I’m on here, here’s a more honest review: I live in a major city so there are lots of people on here and honestly, yeah, that part of some great profiles lives up to what Raya aims for really well, but… The awful UI and paywalls are designed to limit your ability to interact with people under the claim of “luxury” “curation” and “community” but it just limits your ability to match at all or even use their directory to find people. I can’t match with people who I can’t see and they can’t match with me back. I don’t actually think there is an algorithm, so much as recommending you the few people on the app. Raya seems like it wants to respect privacy of their clientele which I kinda get but as others mentioned, we don’t have as many filters like religion or political beliefs, kids, race etc that could be majorly problematic or deal breakers. I have to get a read based off of looks alone for those red flags and judge more harshly than I do on other apps. I don’t want to find out the hard way what can easily be done by adding a filter or answering a question.

    There is a lot of successful decent looking - to hot men on this app. Raya makes it easier to find quality matches. $25/mth is very reasonable. I like how it limits matches to just enough where you aren’t overwhelmed. I can’t fathom swiping more than 20 times in a day.
  • Great App!

    Being invited I didn't really know what to expect, but I love the functions within the app allowing to connect easily. Feels good to have an invite only model, with being able to be banned easily. I feel like it keeps everyone in check,creating a safe, trustworthy atmosphere

    I’ve met some good people but overall it’s all the same. You see people all over the world which okay cool but you have very little chance of actually meeting. Most matches never message or if they do it’s maybe 2-4 exchanges then into the abyss. There’s nothing on here that prompts conversation.
  • waste of time and money

    like most have, i will echo… the fact that you even have to pay $25 a month and then you still can’t like as many people as you want is already ridiculous. and then when you do connect(i have countless connections) - literally 1-2% engage. its just not worth it. cool idea tho. this is my last month.

  • Good but faulty

    there’s definitely more curated and more beautiful people on the app, everyone is in a realm of their own expertise. I think it’s a good intro but there are faults 1: it shows me matches from everywhere in the world in my daily card picks, since it’s trying to “foster high quality connections”, but it is unnecessary how many of those options are international, out of 20 daily options usually 2 are local and the rest are global, and I’m in LA. I’m not interested in a long distance relationship so this is wasteful and unecessary 2: in the global search, it isn’t tailored to your orientation even when u think it is in your preferences, so if you’re straight, you’ll see people to match with all over the world that are of the same sex…. Again, not very effective when this is a dating app and you’re showing people the wrong orientation.

    Been on here a couple months, and really just not impressed with what they have to offer. By having to pay for any type of subscription at all, the “limited” profiles to view is very bizarre. If someone has liked you, they are buried with other people and not shown in front and center. I’ve matched with a handful of people here and there, and they don’t really seem interested to communicate further. The experience of the app is very subpar especially when you’re having to pay a premium price. Seems you’d be better suited on any other regular app like Hinge. You’d be better off browsing LinkedIn and finding a mate.
