Indeed, Raya is not your ordinary dating app. According to its creators, it\u2019s all about meeting the elite members of the highest society and trying to establish a special connection with them. Needless to say, each application goes through a strict verification process. Not everyone is qualified to be a Raya\u2019s user. A special committee will look through you profile, as well as your Instagram account, and then voice their opinion on whether you\u2019re accepted to be a member of the Raya\u2019s community or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is relatively new compared to other dating platforms. It was founded in 2015, but it\u2019s becoming increasingly popular among certain society\u2019s circles. The app is almost unknown to the common public, and only selected users have an access to its database. The founders intentionally keep it that way and don\u2019t do much to promote the app, so it would preserve its exclusiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t find too much of information on Raya on the net, and that\u2019s not by chance. Generally speaking, an app even got a good portion of criticism from reviewers \u2013 they claim its to exclusive and elitist for a common user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookup-app-that-works.jpg\" alt=\"Girl watching Hookup app\" class=\"wp-image-1018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookup-app-that-works.jpg 600w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookup-app-that-works-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookup-app-that-works-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is exactly the idea behind using this kind of dating app \u2013 Raya was created as a platform for \u201cfamous people\u201d to mingle and get to know each other. They could use the app either for looking for their soul mates and second halves, or for short flings and instant hookups. So let\u2019s have a closer look at this dating app and discuss its advantages and disadvantages in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Members_of_the_Raya_dating_and_hookup_app\">Members of the Raya dating and hookup app<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to above mentioned restrictions, the database of the Rita dating app is significantly smaller than one would expect from a top hookup platform. The majority of registered people are from the United States of America, with younger members dominating over other age groups. Male to female ratio is well balanced, so women don\u2019t get bombarded with messages from desperate men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for sexual preferences most members on this dating platform are straight, but gay users are not discriminated in any way. The majority of members are looking for a long lasting romantic relationship or even marriage, but there are also plenty of people interested in a casual hookup. One has to read a person\u2019s profile before sending a first message in order to avoid misunderstandings. This is a common rule for all the hookup apps that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"About_the_signing_up_process_in_more_detail\">About the signing up process in more detail<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The signing up process is rather complicated compared to other dating apps<\/strong>. You can\u2019t use your Facebook of Google profile in order to get registered. One can only create an account using the app. There are some application process guidelines on the Raya\u2019s website, and it\u2019s strongly recommended to go through them before you start creating your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way you\u2019ll make sure your time doesn\u2019t get wasted. But don\u2019t worry, the application form is simple and questions are not difficult to answer. <strong>Application screening, however, may take up to a few weeks or even months.<\/strong> There is a special committee that carefully reviews echo application and gives its final verdict. There are hundreds of committee members spread across the globe. They don\u2019t know each other, and their participation in Raya\u2019s growth is absolutely anonymous. The committee members represent different age agroups, backgrounds, sexual preferences and lifestyles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are certain things you can do in order to increase your chances of getting accepted. First of all, you can ask one of the existing members to support your application. And if you can refer to two or three existing members when signing up, it\u2019s even better. In order to do this, the Raya dating and hookup app will ask your permission to access your contact list to make sure you really know those people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than that, it\u2019s rather effortless to create an account. You are supposed to provide some basic information, including your name, gender, date of birth, place of living, email address and profession. It won\u2019t take you more than five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When the committee member make up their mind on whether to accept you to the Raya\u2019s community, you\u2019ll receive an email.<\/strong> One would say this is too much trouble, and there are plenty of other dating apps that you can use almost instantaneously, but if you want to be a member of one of the elitist hookup apps that work, we would recommend to be patient. After all, you\u2019re not loosing anything, it\u2019s just the question of waiting. Besides, the approval process will nto necessary take that long \u2013 sometimes a few days are quite sufficient for the committee to come up with a final decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"768\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookups-on-Raya-app.jpg\" alt=\"Find real hookups on Raya dating app for famous and accomplished people\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookups-on-Raya-app.jpg 768w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookups-on-Raya-app-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/hookups-on-Raya-app-550x269.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"How_does_one_communicate_on_Raya_and_other_hookup_apps_that_work\">How does one communicate on Raya and other hookup apps that work?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaking of getting in touch with other members, Raya is not very different form the most popular dating apps<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/match-review\/\">Match<\/a>, Tinder, <a href=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/mamba-review\/\">Mamba<\/a>, and so on. You\u2019ll see a special tab indicating the members who are close to your location. There is also another tab showing all the messages you\u2019ve received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app offers only paid services, so they don\u2019t restrict you on the number of people you contact. You can send as many messages as you wish to as many members as you want. That said, you should use your common sense, of course, and keep the number of messages you send per day within sanity limits. Bombarding someone with millions messages on an elite dating app won\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that matching is done geographically on the Raya dating app, so it\u2019s extremely important to specify your current location. But if you don\u2019t feel like hooking up on a dating app, there is an option of turning off your visibility. This way you can still browse through the profiles, but other members will not be able to contact you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In order to increase your chances of an instant hokup on Raya, it\u2019s recommended to use a chat function<\/strong>. This way you\u2019ll get more visibility and meet more likeminded people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"What_are_profiles_like_on_the_Raya_dating_app\">What are profiles like on the Raya dating app?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You are probably curious what profiles are like on hookup apps that work like Raya. Well, they are pretty much the same as profiles on other dating apps, but with a huge emphasis on profile pictures.<\/strong> You are supposed to upload a perfect profile picture in order to stand out of the crowd on Raya. With a fairly good picture, you\u2019ll hardly fit. Your photo should be exceptional. No wonder the Raya committee uses one\u2019s Instagram account as a major factor when deciding whether to accept or decline a member\u2019s application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t hesitate to use the services of a professional photographer in order to receive a high quality profile photo. If your idea if a good picture is a bathroom selfie or your naked torso, don\u2019t even bother submitting your application to Raya. A professional photographer will make sure you look reasonable on the picture, and the quality of an image is high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to keep in mind when using the Raya dating app is that it can switch between two modes \u2013 Social and Work. When you choose Social, it\u2019s all about dating, making friends, socializing and having fun. The Work mode will allow you to search for professional connections, job opportunities and promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"749\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-app-for-hookups.jpg\" alt=\"Hookups on Raya dating app for members with lots of Instagram followers\" class=\"wp-image-1020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-app-for-hookups.jpg 749w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-app-for-hookups-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-app-for-hookups-550x367.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Is_the_Raya_hookup_app_user_friendly\">Is the Raya hookup app user friendly?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This app is very easy to use &#8211; it was obviously created with usability in mind.<\/strong> The app is available only on iOS devices.

You can only pay with a credit card, so keep that in mind when signing up for Raya. After you pay, all the features automatically get unlocked for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Raya expensive? Well, compared to some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/hookup-dating-app-reviews\/\">best dating and hookup apps<\/a>, it\u2019s definitely costlier, but not much. You\u2019re paying for its excellent services and wonderful opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Special_features_to_increase_the_chances_of_instant_hookups_on_Raya\">Special features to increase the chances of instant hookups on Raya<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, the Raya dating app can be used in tow different modes \u2013 Work and Social.

After looking though ball the advantages it has to offer, you\u2019ll be able to make out whether it\u2019d actually benefit from this app or it would be wiser to go for something else with an easy hookup in mind. So here are the pros of using the Raya dating and hookup app:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Niche_hookups_for_outstanding_people\">Niche hookups for outstanding people<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s because Raya tries to create an exclusive environment for outstanding people with similar life standarts and goals that you have to go through such a complex verification process<\/strong>. With this app ,you can be sure that you won\u2019t get disturbed by weirdoes, time wasters and scammers. The committee makes sure to check out one\u2019s Instagram account and see what sort of pictures they upload, how big their followership is, and whether they use their influencer\u2019s potential. Most of Raya\u2019s members have at least a few thousand followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s also almost impossible to get registered on Raya without existing members\u2019 recommendations<\/strong>. This way, the Raya dating app reduces the number of potential fraudsters and swindlers. Operating a dating platform without scams and fake profiles is a breeze, and this is definitely an advantage of using hookup apps that work like Raya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raya\u2019s community is really one of the best one can find across many dating platforms. Here you can count on an easy hookup with Dancing With The Stars members, singers, DJs, sports stars and so on. The majority of users are young and good looking. They are also qualified specialists in different professional fields. This way the Raya dating app is trying to keep to certain standards in order to justify its elitist policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"484\" height=\"723\" src=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-dating-app-.jpg\" alt=\"Find short flings and lifelong relationships on hookup apps that work\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-dating-app-.jpg 484w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-dating-app--201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-dating-app--402x600.jpg 402w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Its_very_safe\">It\u2019s very safe<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The members\u2019 safety is one of Raya\u2019s main priorities.<\/strong> The creators of this app tried to create a safe virtual environment for famous people looking for love, romance, or casual hookup. Quality is key when using this dating app, and one can feel it within minutes after their account goes live. Users do not have to worry about spammers\u2019 attacks, weird requests and creepy approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the members are real, and there is almost zero chances of running into a fake profile. There is no way one can pretend to be a fictional online persona. This is one of the most distinguishing features of hookup apps that work like Raya, and it\u2019s really worth paying for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Easy_to_use_easy_to_find_an_online_hookup\">Easy to use, easy to find an online hookup<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/tinder-review\/\">Tinder<\/a>, using Raya will be effortless for you. It uses the same system of swiping left or right in order to express your attitude to a certain profile. You\u2019re allowed to contact a person if they like you back. Along with pictures one can use a music trek \u2013 a choice of music can tell a lot about one\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps you find like-minded people on Raya and start a conversation \u2013 commenting upon one\u2019s choice of music is an excellent ice-breaker. There are plenty of things that simplifies navigation on Raya, and you won\u2019t trade his app for any other dating platforms, no matter how many of them are aggressively advertised on the net. And speaking of advertising, Raya boasts a clean and ads-free interface, and that\u2019s definitely an advantage in the world of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"There_is_a_chance_of_being_sponsored\">There is a chance of being sponsored<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, there is no free plan on the Raya hookup app. All the features are paid on these platform, but the price is more than affordable \u2013 what is $9.99 a month for an average person? However, if you get popular on Raya, there is a chance of using this app for free \u2013 your profile gets sponsored thanks to the \u201chighest tier of the algorithm\u201d. Only a few members get this privilege, but if you do well on Raya, there is no reason why you wouldn\u2019t become one of these few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"The_app_is_lesbian_gay_bisexual_and_transgender_friendly\">The app is lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender friendly<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no LGBT related discrimination on the Raya dating app. Everyone is welcome to join regardless their sexual preferences. This app is for everybody, and people are not turned away on basis of their sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"The_disadvantages_of_using_Raya_for_hooking_up\">The disadvantages of using Raya for hooking up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As we\u2019ve already discussed, the app is not free to use. The price is not high, and everyone can afford it, but at the same time one can\u2019t help feeling a bit turned off because of this policy.<\/strong> Perhaps a free membership would have cheapen the overall experience of using Raya, but it\u2019s good to have a choice between a basic plan and premium membership. By enforcing only paid features, the Raya hookup app emphasizes its elitist approach and ensures quality of your experience over quantity of profiles. The reduced number of members is not a consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"There_is_no_matching_strategy_in_place\">There is no matching strategy in place<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The worth of a user\u2019s profile is determined by their followership on Instagram, but this is hardly a criteria where dating, romance or even a simple hookup is concerned.<\/strong> Many Raya\u2019s members express their concerns about the app\u2019s matching algorithms, stating that one\u2019s Instagram\u2019s numbers are not a valid indicator of their worthiness. One wouldn\u2019t choose a match based upon their social media following in real life, right? So in what way it\u2019s alright to use it as a core factor of an online matching strategy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Raya doesn\u2019t specify which matching algorithm they actually use, members are not very happy with the way things are portrayed. Social media account are often referred as fake reality, because people edit their pictures, copy and paste captures, pretend being in places they\u2019ve never been and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If an assumption about Instagram based matching strategy is actually true, Raya should better come up with a better plan. Social media followership and external attractiveness of a user are not profound enough qualities to be bring people together. Other dating apps offer compatibility tests and sophisticated search tools in order to form a match. And many users express their wish for the Raya hookup app to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"667\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-hookup-app.jpg\" alt=\"Check out hookup apps that work like Raya and join the community of famous people\" class=\"wp-image-1022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-hookup-app.jpg 667w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-hookup-app-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/datehookup.dating\/apps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Raya-hookup-app-550x412.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"The_app_is_not_available_on_Android\">The app is not available on Android<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, this dating app is not available on Android based smartphones. At the moment there is no information on whether they are going to do offer it on Google Play store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span id=\"Extremely_difficult_to_join\">Extremely difficult to join<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As discussed above, the signing up process is rather complicated on Raya. This is the apps way of keeping the community safe and refined. <strong>They hardly ever consider approving one\u2019s application if they are not recommended by other members. Undoubtedly it\u2019s one of the things Raya is extremely proud of, but at the same time this policy results in a limited database<\/strong> and reduced chances of finding someone really special for dating , romance or hookup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intention of keeping \u201ccelebrity dating app\u201d reputation is understandable, but it would be great if Raya had some alternative ways of joining the community. After all , there are lots of successful and accomplished people who don\u2019t have an instagram account at all. It doesn\u2019t mean they are not \u201celite\u201d enough to join a dating app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"To_sum_it_all_up\">To sum it all up<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All in all, Raya is definitely one of the hookup apps that work for many people.<\/strong> It\u2019s very similar to Tinder, so if you\u2019re familiar with this app, it will be effortless for you to use Raya. The app is multipurpose with a main focus on finding long term romance and friendships. However, there are countless opportunities for a casual hookup as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t rely upon the Raya app to find a perfect match for you.<\/strong> You\u2019ll have to browse through the profiles and try your luck before you find someone compatible.
