Rawly is a photo and video challenge app. Every day there is something new to shoot, and real people decide who wins. No ads. No filters. No gallery uploads. No algorithm. Just real. TODAY Rawly opens on your day: RAW NOW, the object of the day and a free frame, and whatever is waiting for you. Shoot them and share the day card, today's frames on one picture. RAW NOW Once a day, at a random time, everyone gets the same notification at the same moment. There is no topic: shoot whatever is in front of you. You have 20 minutes and one shot. Missed it? You can still post late until the next RAW NOW. OBJECT OF THE DAY Every day everyone gets the same everyday object, from a spoon to a kettle. Shoot it, and the community votes for the favorites. Keep your shot to yourself if you like, or show it today. CLUBS Start a club with friends. Each round has a topic: everyone shoots, then the club votes. A round's frames are seen only by those who shot it. Clubs for a city, a district or a campus take you in with a frame shot there. SPOTS Spots on the map hold one frame each. The first frame takes the spot, and anyone who shoots there can challenge it. A spot's frames are seen only by people who shot there. VS Send a VS to friends by name, or as a link. The first to shoot plays, everyone else picks the better shot. CHALLENGES Pick a challenge or start your own: say what you want shot, set the deadline and the prize. People compete, the community votes, and the winner takes it. Entered one? Vote on the other entries too, never your own. CHALLENGES WITH REAL PRIZES Some challenges carry a real prize pool, funded by the people and brands who create them. Win one and the prize is yours: on standard challenges, 75% goes to the winner and 10% to the voters who backed it. Earnings are paid in Jeton and can be withdrawn to your bank account. Minimum withdrawal is 500 Jeton, with no Rawly commission. Only a Stripe processing fee applies at payout. Withdrawals are currently open in the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Switzerland; we are working on other countries. You can join challenges, RAW NOW and the ranks from anywhere. Actual earnings depend on challenge outcomes. SEASONS, LEVELS AND BADGES Every month is a season: the top 10, 25 and 50 percent keep that season's trophy. Your level grows with your Score, and your badges show what you have played. Score comes only from challenges, RAW NOW and the object of the day. Win them to rise through the ranks from Plebs to Censor. Rank is earned, never bought. WHY LIVE ONLY A challenge is only fair if every shot is real. So Rawly only lets you shoot live, inside the app. There is no way to upload from your gallery or a file. Right after the main shot, the other camera takes a second frame. It is kept as proof, and you decide if others can see it. EVERY PHOTO CAN BE CHECKED Every photo shared from Rawly carries a short code. Anyone can type it at rawly.app/verify, without an account, and see Rawly's copy of the photo and the minute it was taken. COMMUNITY VOTE No algorithm decides what rises. A day-one user competes equally with everyone else. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Messages are end-to-end encrypted with the Signal protocol. Club messages and photos are stored encrypted. Location is asked only when you tap something that needs it, and a spot or club check never keeps where you were. Screenshots and screen recordings are blocked in the app. Rawly is free and for people 18 and over. Download it and take on today's challenge. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 45 Tokens (+4 Bonus) | $4.99 | one-time | | 250 Tokens (+20 Bonus) | $24.99 | one-time | | 100 Tokens (+5 Bonus) | $9.99 | one-time | | 500 Tokens (+50 Bonus) | $49.99 | one-time | | 1000 Tokens (+150 Bonus) | $99.99 | one-time | ## Is Rawly safe?

The day's games come first, clubs and spots are new, and every screen opens faster. Today • Rawly opens on Today: RAW NOW and the object of the day, one under the other. What you shoot drops off. • The day card puts today's frames on one picture to share. • After an object of the day shot, keep it to yourself or show it today, with or without your verification photo. Send and share • PUSH asks who gets your shot: your profile, close friends, friends or clubs. Nothing is picked for you. • Photos to friends are end-to-end encrypted. • Hold your own photo to send, share, save or delete it. On someone else's photo, a hold offers only hide and report. • Send a photo you sent in a chat on to other friends. • Save or share your frame as a Rawly print. A public frame carries a code that proves when it was shot. Feed • One menu at the top: Hot, Best (today, this week, this month), New and Following. Rawly keeps your pick. Map • Spots, club areas and challenges with their prize, one tap away. • Meet up: pick a place on the map and invite close friends. Only the people you invite see it. • Share your live location with a close friend for 1 to 8 hours, only when you both say yes. Either of you can stop it. The shared position is never recorded. • Districts: clubs race for a district by how many of their members shoot at its spots. Glory only. • Street view: turn it with two fingers, look around with one, or let it turn with your phone. • Find a challenge shows the way on foot, or opens your maps app when it is too far to walk. Clubs • Start a club with friends. Each round has a topic: everyone shoots, then the club votes. • A round's frames are seen only by those who shot it. • Clubs for a city, a district or a campus. You apply with a frame shot there. Spots • Spots on the map hold one frame each. The first frame takes the spot, and anyone who shoots there can challenge it. • Or leave your frame in the spot's album, with no contest. • A spot's frames are seen only by people who shot there. VS and challenges • Send a VS to friends by name. The first to shoot plays, the others vote. A rematch is one tap away. • Entered a challenge? Vote on the other entries too, never your own. • Filter challenges by prize size. A challenge you have to be at shows the way there. • Skipped a photo by mistake? Undo it in the vote deck. Seasons, levels and badges • Every month is a season. The top 10, 25 and 50 percent keep that season's trophy. No money, no Score. • Your level and your game badges show what you have played. Faster • Screens open on what they last showed, then refresh. • The camera is ready about twice as fast. • Photos load at your screen's size, so scrolling stays smooth. Privacy • Location, camera and microphone are asked only when you tap something that needs them. If you said no, Rawly says why and opens Settings. • On the map you see only your own dot, on your own phone. Nobody else is ever drawn, except a close friend sharing live location with you. • Saving to your photos only adds. Rawly never reads your library. • Club messages and photos are stored encrypted. • Usernames take letters, numbers, . and _ only. If yours has other characters, you choose a new one, once. ### 1.0.15 — 2026-10-27 Private challenges work for everyone now, Rawly speaks Polish and Japanese, and the camera and photos are steadier. Challenges • Private challenges are open to everyone. Only the creator sees the entries and picks the winner. If nobody is picked within 3 days, the prize is shared among the entrants. • Part of every private challenge goes to a community pool, and Rawly opens open challenges from it. • A brand challenge says before you enter that the brand may use the winning shot for 12 months. You keep the copyright. • A RAW NOW notification opens the camera. A Daily Event notification opens the object's page. An old notification no longer opens a challenge that has ended. Ranks and Score • The Rank screen shows each step: account age, active weeks, entries, wins and a balanced vote. • Ten answers in the vote deck make a week count as active. • Your Score stays, however long you are away. • Badges come in families, with the rank ladder at the top. Earnings • The monthly withdrawal limit follows your rank, not your followers. Withdrawals are currently open in the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and Switzerland. Playing is open everywhere. • Buying Token shows the purchase terms before you pay. Welcome • A calmer welcome screen with real Rawly shots, and Apple and Google sign-in as two buttons of the same size. Photos • An enlarged photo names its author and prints nothing over the picture. • Proof frames load again on the vote deck and the post page. • On a weak connection a post no longer appears two or three times. • Try again on the RAW NOW and Daily Event screens once you have seen everything. Languages and settings • Rawly now speaks Polish and Japanese. • Settings > Notifications > Email: turn news emails from Rawly on or off. Fair play • Gifts, paid tasks and challenge prizes cannot move between accounts on the same phone. Fixes • Fixed crashes in the camera and while photos load. • Fixed a crash when the update button opens the store. ### 1.0.14 — 2026-10-24 Almost every screen in Rawly is new, and the whole app is faster. A new look • Black and white throughout. The colour comes from your photos. • Frosted bars at the top and bottom, and one set of buttons across the app. • New Messages, chat, search, notifications, comments, settings and profile screens. Faster and smoother • The app opens without waiting. • The home feed scrolls smoothly and loads the next photos ahead. • The camera and your chats open at once. • Photos load at the size they are shown, and screens that sit still stop redrawing, so your phone does less work. Camera • One camera everywhere: posts, RAW NOW, challenges, chat photos, task proof, profile and cover photos. • It opens at once, and switching between photo and video no longer drops you to a loading screen. • Open it again within a few seconds of closing it and it is there at once. • Switching between photo and video, or front and back, no longer freezes the picture. The Rawly mark shows while the camera gets ready. • The shutter dims for a moment instead of flashing white. • Controls wait until the camera is ready, so a tap never takes an empty shot. Challenges • A new Challenges screen. Filter by what you can join, what is near you, what ends soon or what is new, and join from the list in one tap. • Hide sponsored challenges, all of them or one brand at a time. • A challenge can run anywhere from one hour to thirty days. • Tapping an entry only opens it. To pick a winner early, choose End early, then Pick. • A new Top tab: the winners of the day, the week and the month, what is running now, and a live ranking. • On the map, a challenge offers what the list offers: Join, Vote, Joined or Yours, and directions to a spot. The location button asks before it looks. Earnings and rank • A new Earnings screen: your balance down to the fraction, what you can withdraw, and what opens withdrawals. • A new Rank screen shows each step to the next rank. Voting • The vote deck has buttons as well as swipes, and you can undo the last card. • New photos open in voting first. Photos from people you follow stay open. RAW NOW • The camera closes the moment you shoot, and the photo sends in the background. • Your diary shows your year in colour, each day in the colour of its RAW NOW photo. Share your year as a card. • When you have seen every capture, the deck says so and checks for new ones on its own. Profile • Your profile opens on the last 30 days, with your Score, followers and following. • A two-sided profile photo: front and back camera, tap to switch. • Same moment: the RAW NOW days you and someone else both shot. • Your seal: your profile on a coin in your rank's metal, with a code that opens it. Gifts • Send a gift on a post or a challenge entry, from Lux to Corona. You pay in Token, the author receives the same amount in Jeton. Safety • Rawly is now for people 18 and over. If we do not have your birthday, the app asks for it once. • A block closes every door: profile, posts, stories, comments and challenges. • Burned or deleted messages leave your phone too. • Photos sent with flash protection stay blurred in the chat and in shared media. • Report a person from their profile or a chat. ### 1.0.13 — 2026-10-20 New in Rawly • The Daily Event takes the place of live events. Every day at a surprise time, everyone gets the same object, from a spoon to a kettle, and a notification. Shoot it in the first hour, or late until the next one opens. • Each photo is voted on for 24 hours from when it is posted. The three photos with the most votes earn Score. • Duel a friend: send a link, they shoot the same object, and everyone else picks the better shot. The result comes after 24 hours. • A streak counts the days in a row you shoot RAW NOW or the Daily Event. • Challenges can cover a whole city. Challenges near you come first. • Open challenges show how many people are shooting right now and how much time is left. • When a challenge ends, everyone who entered or voted sees the result. • Win a challenge or a RAW NOW crown and a share card opens in Rawly's look. • Notifications now arrive in the language you use Rawly in. • Share your RAW NOW day in one line, without the photo. • New here? Rawly suggests an open challenge for your first photo. • The people suggested when you join show their latest photos, and you can follow them all at once. A new look • Posts are framed and clean. The photo carries no text; what it answers, where and when sits under the name. • One set of buttons across the app, in black and white. Stories • A story shows the whole photo instead of a cropped one. • Hold to pause, swipe to the next person, pull down to close. • Mark a story "View once" and each person can watch it a single time. • Quick reactions fly up and send at once. • Posting a story no longer keeps you waiting on the camera. • Stories you have watched stay in the bar, so you can watch them again. Camera • The viewfinder now shows exactly the photo you get, in 3:4 or 9:16. • The photo opens for review right away while the verification shot finishes. • On iPhone, a challenge video also records the other lens and plays it in the corner. • Challenge videos run up to 20 seconds. • Videos record at 1080p, so they upload faster and use less data. • The camera starts sooner. Home screen and lock screen • A "Rawly today" widget shows the Daily Event, the challenge of the day, and RAW NOW while it is open. • While RAW NOW is open, a countdown sits on your lock screen. Faster • Feeds, challenges and profiles open on what you saw last, then refresh. • Photos load over a blur of their own colours instead of a grey box. • Profile pictures load at a smaller size. • The next video is ready before you swipe to it. • Your post shows at the top of the feed while it uploads. • The app opens faster. • Older phones run smoother. Comfort • Sounds for a vote and a win, under Settings. • Reduce Motion is honoured, and text can be up to 125% larger. Fixes • The blocked users list no longer crashes. • A video that showed "Retry" after a while away now plays. ### 1.0.12 — 2026-10-09 Fixed an issue that could stop content from loading. The app now reconnects more reliably and opens faster on slow connections. ## Apps similar to Rawly | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Gawsip: Photos with friends](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gawsip-photos-with-friends/id6770401684) | — | Free | Social Networking | | [AIRWIG](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/airwig/id6753917842) | — | Free | Social Networking | | [Neteen](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/neteen/id6782348493) | — | Free | Social Networking | | [PopEllo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/popello/id6798219207) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Social Networking | | [TwinMate: AI Twin & Memory](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/twinmate-ai-twin-and-memory/id6793851498) | — | Free | Social Networking | | [Flixsy](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flixsy/id6753230731) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Social Networking | ## Related topics [rawly social](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/rawly-social) · [12px photo challenge](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/12px-photo-challenge) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
