Can you imagine yourself being matched on a dating app with a celebrity? Well, now you can! That is, if Raya will approve your membership.

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.

Raya Real Life Review
I tried to apply at Raya because I am not a fan of traditional dating apps and would rather try to meet a like-minded individual who understands how I feel about dating. It took a while before I was taken off waitlisted and I can say that the wait is worth it. I was able to find a real person whom I can talk to, and I was rid of bots trying to pose as a real person like in my experiences with other apps. - Shiela, Professor, 29
Design and Usability

You will easily find your way on the site even if you are a non-tech savvy person. The functions are easy to understand and there is a dedicated website to answer all of your questions.
