About this app

DATE 100% REAL PEOPLE

RAW is a new viral dating app where you can fall in love at first sight. Snap real moments with the dual camera and forget about filters. No fakes, no catfishing, and no scams here – just authentic, raw people looking for true connections.

FALL IN LOVE WITH THE REAL.

RAW is not just another fake dating app. We have only 100% real people, just like you. Say goodbye to catfishing and photoshopped pics. Daily photos made through back&front camera get you a real crush, not fake profiles. With RAW, what you see is what you get.

UNFILTERED. TRUE. RAW.

RAW is a unique community that goes against the trend of those over-edited photos you see on other dating apps. To access the feed all you gotta do is take a quick back&front shot with your phone and BAM! You'll be swiping on unfiltered, true images of your potential lovers that are taken in real-time within the app. There’s no сheatcodes for little swindlers.

SHOOT YOUR SHOT

We've got a new, viral way to show off yourself. Every day, we ask to take a photo using RAW's back&front camera, showing a real-time snapshot of not just your potential crush but a sneak peek of their life too. This way, pics are always fresh and you have a better chance to match with your dream crush. No old photos and definitely no photoshopping, just the real deal.

Also, our ASO expert told us to add keywords like 'meet new people', 'find friends', 'serious dating', 'match singles', 'date with people', 'date app', 'real people', and yada yada yada. But we're not into that because it's just so basic, and we're definitely not just another fake dating app. Wait, we've already added them… Oh, well. We just want more people to find love!

Honestly, the fact that there is no location filtering is kind of an app killer. Even if there's not a ton of users, you can't force people to be swiping with people hundreds or thousands of miles away. The response that, "as the app grows, more users will be shown in your area" is a cop out. The app won't grow if people get tired of impractical matches. Edit: dropped from 2 stars to 1 because no location filter is REALLY bad. Also, top user thing is really annoying (can't like without premium)

not very user-friendly. Nearly everyone it shows you is in another state. The only way to see where they are from is to awkwardly double tap around their picture until the profile opens up. the picture in the actual swiping part of the app is cropped down to the top half of your screen and hidden behind their name, the selection icons and the front camera image. If a user is 'popular', you can only like them with a paid membership.

This app is still new so I will give it a pass on some things. I wish there was a way to skip. When you get to a top user, you can only heart them with premium. In order to bypass this you have to dislike, even if you don't dislike them. A skip would be effective here. I would like more local results. I matched with someone, but they live too far away to start an actual relationship with. I would also like it if it were country independent. I live on the border.
