Fake reviews?
Possibly the worst app for meeting people. Every guy on here is a “CEO”. You match and rarely exchange dialogue. You can’t filter out by location, I have no reason to match with someone from England if I’m living in NYC. More often than not, you X on every profile. Also, lot of bots. A few celebs, no one special or interesting

Don't waste your money
Paid for the $49.99 / month membership, was shown women (?), and under 20 men in the 2+ months I had the membership, not one man messaged me but some followed me on Instagram? I get a ton of attention IRL and other apps but this feels like a scam
★★★★negativeMentions pricingMark suckaberg · 2026-07-02 · v5.32.1
2 year wait and a huge flop
Was waitlisted for TWO YEARS. Had to email them to see why this was even an issue as I have a great job, a solid social presence and attractive. Once I get in the filtering is non existent, you pay a premium just to use the service and it doesn’t even show you a persons height. Most people want to network. Lots of people that don’t live in your city and LIMITED pools to sift through that are refreshed daily probably cause the pool is tiny. A total scam. At least you have a benefit to paying for Grindr and hinge is actually solid at finding suitable people. Raya is an absolute scam.
★★★★negativegrigoryan0013 · 2026-06-24 · v5.32.1
Waitlisted for over 3.5years
Worst app ever , I’ve been waitlisted for over 3.5 years contacted support to delete application they offered to forward it to team for review. Few weeks later still waitlisted had them delete my application . Useless customer service and waste of time just overall

Shut down or what it is doing

Artificial scarcity is annoying
Your revenue numbers must be good, why wouldn’t you want more paying members? Insane
★★★★negativeYayaLoveFm · 2026-06-20 · v5.31.1
Not user friendly
I’ve been waiting on a reply for my application for months. Sent a request for follow up and no reply
★★★★★negativeMentions pricingJenstrebe · 2026-06-17 · v5.31.1
Just meh
Seems like it's a bunch of guys that have money looking for young ladies and hooking up versus dating.
★★★★negativeThat’s what’s up yup · 2026-06-15 · v5.31.1
BS
People connect but never send messages. Seems like an ego boosting app. Will not renew membership or recommend for friends.
★★★★negativeJaiiiiiiii! · 2026-06-15 · v5.31.1
No effort
Like many apps, you’ll get matches but there’s no effort to start or maintain conversation.
★★★★negativeMentions pricingAlibü · 2026-06-09 · v5.31.0
Doesn’t let you block certain contacts
Stressful. Not worth the price. Hotter guys on hinge
★★★★★negativePaoPosa · 2026-06-09 · v5.31.0
Expected more
For all the screening and wait, not enough coverage around my area. Age tat I requested is actually all over board.

Basically instagram but looks like Tinder
I’ve been on this app for almost 2 years and it kind of feels like Instagram but stagnant profiles. i’ve matched with celebrities and people that have a pretty good job in the entertainment industry, but the offers of dates are either going to their house and getting drunk or for some reason people wanting me to go into a Jacuzzi and drink with them. I had one man harassing me when he got my Instagram and wouldn’t stop trying to peer pressure me into going to his Jacuzzi. The other issue is that none of the UI is working like I can’t change my age range settings. It’s very clunky and confusing. it’s also saying my email doesn’t exist, which doesn’t make any sense. there’s also some people I’ve already seen that are on hinge that are also on this app. I really wish they would have a better UX design. For those who can’t seem to get on, just know that you’ll be seeing the same people probably on the other apps. Also, it might just be easier to DM people on Instagram if you’re interested in them or met irl. and as always, make sure you get tested, heard some horror stories of people off this app having STDs and not disclosing it since they’re “famous”. I wish they had a better screening system for some of these men who are predatory. I’ve matched with some cool people but it just didn’t really lead anywhere. Also there’s some aggressive men I didn’t even want to match with who tried to get up into my DMs which I ended up having to change all my IG settings.

Application Pending Forever?
I’d like to give this a more positive review possibly, but I’ve been waiting for over two weeks or so, waiting for them to either accept or deny my application, with no updates. Any why is a referral so necessary? What if I don’t have anybody in my circle that’s single too? Seems pretty manipulative to me.
★★★★negativeMentions pricing*****yea · 2026-06-03 · v5.30.0
Wait list is a scam
They demand full access to your contact list and won’t approve you without it. They’re like “yeah we’ll let you know”
★★★★negativeBo Willyyyy · 2026-05-31 · v5.30.0
Faulty
I’m very active member of my cities social community yet my “application” for raya has been pending now for years.
★★★★★negativeLack diversity · 2026-05-30 · v5.30.0
Needs diversity
For as long as it took for me to even be accepted to the app, I expected way more diverse in profiles and occupation. The amount of tech bros is quite bias. Plus, rarely any people of color as if we arnt part of the population of career successful people.
★★★★negativeCristal1523 · 2026-05-24 · v5.30.0
Popularity contest?
Guys hardly message back. Feels like they just want to be chased. I think these people are just too kool for me. If you want a real one find me @cristal823 xoxo

Trash
Way over priced.
★★★★★neutraldesiraymarz · 2026-05-21 · v5.30.0
Sigh
You match with ppl, message them and never hear from them. Update: 2 years later, tons of matches, 2 ppl messaged back, zero date offers.
★★★★negativeExtinctbirds · 2026-05-19 · v5.30.0
Use at your own loss
Met a series of men who are sociopaths on this app. When I send the app a report and the evidence they tell me they can’t remove anyone… ok, so I’m paying raya to match with psychos? Bye
★★★★negativeMentions pricingphoenix37883 · 2026-05-18 · v5.29.2
No one talks
Lots of high quality people. But the app is weird. No one talks or responds to anything after matching. Depressing experience. Also expensive
★★★★★negativeMentions pricingnallamothud · 2026-05-16 · v5.29.2
Your matches won’t show up until it’s the day before your subscription ends
They don’t even make it subtle
★★★★★neutral20473927 · 2026-05-15 · v5.29.2
members not active on app
only complaint is a lot of people don’t message back and forth a lot so somehow change that aspect so it’s not a waste of time
