Raya

Depending where you live, you need critical mass for this sort of thing to work. I live in NZ and there would be less than 30 girls on it, given it’s so small nobody finds anything or checks back in regularly, and the system collapses with no chance of any momentum. It’s such a waste of money I’m surprised they haven’t given a free promo or credit for areas without sufficient numbers.

Been waiting for approval for quite some time now, why is it taking this long ? 19th February - I’m still waiting for approval.

Day 1 on this app and wow: what in the 2004 is going on? My name is wrong on the app. I have no ability to upload photos. Nothing really “works.” Seriously glitched and bad.

Hardly any people of color on here. It’s 90% white and I’ve asked from a male perspective of friends that are on here. Guys said the same, hardly any women of color. I’ve even suggested some friends of color in entertainment and they are still waiting. 🤔 Also, Raya recycles the same guys, I noticed I’ve passed on guys and those same guys show up again. Repeatedly. Another issue, which is not a Raya issue, but you will connect with a guy and he won’t make the first move of just saying, “Hi!” You will connect with someone regardless of race and there is no response. You just match. Nothing happens. Not worth the money if you ask me, but maybe it was just my experience. Idk…

They suspended my account 7 days after I was approved for ZERO reason I hardly used the app and they never refunded me. They are just hiding ! DISGUSTING to say the least

Ive been on the wait list since Raya launched years and years and years ago. I cant get in and yet some hipster y2k person is immediately let in regularly, how is that fair? I have strong business and media connections and yet still not approved, what gives?

Not aplication this app is Terrible, they don't respond, they take your money and ask you to refer friends, don't fall for this thieves

I felt it was a privilege to be approved for Raya, and it ended up being like every other dating site that matches you with people that don’t even live in this country let alone in your own area. In two months, I only had eight matches met with one, and all he wanted to do was just go for a walk with his dog not looking for something serious. Don’t take screenshots of the app because I think after 3 to 4 warnings, they close you out of the app. FYI, it’s not that . At this point probably best not to use any apps I just meet people the old-fashioned way.

I’ve been on the app for a month and a half. I got on immediately so I didn’t have to deal with the waitlist stuff. I was super excited but the app design has so many flaws. It shows like 10 people every 4 hrs and the guys are not even in the entertainment industry half the time or live in the city. The next month I paid extra for Raya + which literally is no different than the $25 one. There’s hardly anyone to match with and people just disappear after a few conversations or don’t even start a conversation. It just feels like instagram with giving people validation on their photos. Also the map thing with the people nearby is so confusing because it’s showing me women and I’m straight. Hopefully they can rebrand their app with a new design.

I tried applying for this app and even have over 9 referrals for it. However, I never received the verification email from Raya, and there was no any hint of the next step or there would be a verification email… so I kept emailing them, but no one responded. After 6 follow-up emails and two months of waiting, the app finally put me on the waitlist. It’s so ridiculous—definitely the worst experience with an app. Terrible customer support and service.
