Our Expert Review
Raya has become the most exclusive dating app in the world, with a notoriously selective application process that reportedly accepts less than 8% of applicants. Known as the dating app for celebrities and creative professionals, its appeal lies entirely in the caliber of its membership. While technically an app rather than a traditional matchmaking service, its rigorous curation makes it function more like an exclusive members club for dating.
