The WORST

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 browsing. I was in another app that’s completely separate from Raya. I took 1-2 screenshots in that app with Raya still open in the background. When I went back hours later I opened the app only to find out I was BANNED for screenshotting in a completely different app!! I emailed Raya support and they said someone would get back to me. I never received a response after that. This app is a total sham—stay as far away as possible!!

The worst

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

Love

So much better than every other dating app. Not even close.

good community

Met my partner here so…. high quality people, great for dating and networking. thank you Raya

Restrictive dating at its finest

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 of miles away. Also everything is a paid feature on top of membership dues. I had this for a good three-month run and was really unsatisfied.
