User reviews

No Communication, No Transparency, No Respect!

I’ve been on Raya’s waitlist for more than 3.5 years‼️ Despite having 2 referrals, and there is no way to get information about what is happening with an application.

I have contacted their support so many times and received no response or any indication of why I am still waitlisted, whether my application is actually being reviewed, or whether I should expect to hear anything at all. Meanwhile, I regularly hear of people being accepted within hours or days, even without any referrals.

Keeping people in limbo for literally YEARS while providing zero transparency and virtually no customer service is ridiculous. Modern dating 🤣 If someone is not going to be accepted, just say so!

The whole system feels arbitrary, opaque and incredibly disrespectful towards prospective clients. A supposedly exclusive app should be capable of basic communication and customer service.

Zero culture diversity

Low quality

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 privilege of using your lousy platform.

No one uses it

Matches don’t message

No One Responds

I matched with women on Raya and on Hinge. They all responded on Hinge which is free. This is a $25/month scam
