Raya Review March 2023

Raya is banking on exclusivity, so your chances of getting accepted as a member are higher if you get referrals from existing members of the community.

You can select one or more Raya members who can privately support your application. But to do this, you will need to allow Raya to have access to your contacts list as this is where they will screen if you know someone from the app.

The other registration steps cannot be skipped but it only involves the basic details such as name, gender, birthday, email address, location, and occupation. This will only take a few minutes of your time. What's going to take longer is the approval process.

Applications are assessed based on the decisions of hundreds of committee members spread throughout the world.

Committee members are anonymous to each other and are comprised of various backgrounds, interests, ages, and sexual orientation. This can last anywhere from a day to a few months.

You will get an email confirming whether you are accepted or denied from joining.

Getting in touch with other Raya members is similar to regular dating apps.

In terms of communication features, you will have a tab to show you whose nearby your location, and another tab that lists all your messages in one place.

You can contact anyone and send as many messages as you want since you will have to start paying for the premium the moment your profile is approved.

Setting your location up is a required step during the registration since matching is done geographically. However, if you are not in the mood to mingle and prevent other users nearby from hitting you up, you may turn off your visibility.

Profiles at Raya are good for looking at photos. As expected from an exclusive app, it has a seamless look and feels to maximize the space intended for photo browsing.

The information available on profiles are name, age, and a member's location. When viewing profiles, you will have the ability to tell the app whether you like a person or not so much.

As Raya improved its app to include professional networking functions, you can switch between "Social" and "Work" modes. Social mode allows you to find relationships and friendships, while the Work mode will help you build professional connections which is why you can indicate the company you are currently working for.
