Disappointing

Maybe 95% of members are in finance, real estate or “founders.” I was hoping for a higher concentration of creatives than on other apps not branded as exclusive but the ratio actually seems to be worse. What exactly is exclusive about this?

Do not recommend

They make it sound like they’re better than other apps just by making a little harder to get in, then you have to pay a lot for a dating app that in the end doesn’t work very well, show you just a few people every 24h, don’t let you do anything or see anything, biggest regret of my life

No sirve para conectar

Usuarios que viven a miles de kilómetros, nno se logran conversaciones ni tampoco un mínimo intercambio de saludos, nadie conecta. Incómoda de usar
En fin, Malísima.

Not great

While it has some very attractive high profile people on there, they don’t talk to you, hardly anyone located in Australia, or maybe there is and you can’t see them and they aren’t matched with you. I’ve had a few people match and they don’t talk to you so it’s a bit redundant unless you are very famous or a model

Cancellation

I have been trying to cancel for several months now. Not once have I received correspondence from your team. This app is a scam and you can’t get out of it despite their agreement stating you can cancel any time.

Sorte no jogo e no amor

Saí com três pessoas, o terceiro é o amor da minha vida e os outros dois eram tão legais que apresentaria para minhas amigas

Worst dating app I’ve used

The problem with this app is it’s really only good for NY or LA. If you live anywhere else then good luck finding matches. The app also does not let you narrow down profiles by location or age, so it’s a big mixed bag. Hinge will give you a much wider selection. It’s also hard to get an idea of someone’s personality on this app since very few people fill anything out. I tell people this is a great app to see attractive people around the country that you’ll never date. I think the only reason anyone is on this app is to say they are on the app. So if you’re looking for “clout” then I guess it’s worth your money.

Hinge is better

Hinge is better no one uses or responds on Raya because they prioritize feminine men who curate their instagrams lol.

Penpal?

People connect and then never reach out it is so weird !

I’m in waitlist more than 1 year!

It’s too much

Waste of moneyyyyy

😉

Too broad location wise

Not enough people to view per day and also no filter to people who live in your home city- I would like to actually date someone who mainly lives in the same country as me.

Good app bad tech

The app itself has created lots of interesting dates but the tech is so glitchy and needs attention

If you’re looking for something real… You will not find it here.

I find this app unhelpful at actually finding real connection. I am shown quality men that live 4000 miles away or men that are in completely different stages of life than myself.

Raya feels like a crowded party full of beautiful, interesting people that keep circling each other and no one’s interacting. This is not worth the money if you’re actually interested in finding a relationship.

Hinge wins

I think hinge gives way more opportunities to communicate with men and get to a first date then Raya

Also, the profiles look so basic like if there is only pictures and barely any information about the man himself.
Month here and barely got even to talk with someone, you pay for it & You still very limited what you can do so you can pay more.

No dates only ego boosts

Ok, so I’ve been on this app for 4 months. I would get a lot of matches, with just a few of them actually responding, let alone starting the conversation. A discussion on the social media app approved that most of people are experiencing it. My suggestion for the developers is to add a certain feature that will suspend your account if you’re not interacting with matched. Or anonymous activity feedback that can also lead to suspension. Because it’s was such a waste of money and time. As a person who actually wants to date and find a relationship, this was a very frustrating experience.

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.

Womp

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
