Dating App, RAW, Stops Endless Scrolling and Creates Real-Time Connections

I know what you’re thinking. Do you need another dating app? The answer is maybe. But give me a moment to explain, because a moment is all you’ll need to use the newest dating app on the scene. Like its name, RAW strips away outdated dating app complexities to a single dual photo. Think BeReal, but for dating.

The time of curating “perfect” dating profiles with aesthetically pleasing photos, and too-cool-for-school bios is over. Using a dual-camera feature, RAW brings daters to potential matches in real-time. No filters or fakes, just authentic life-moments. It may be the closest we’ll get to meeting someone IRL online. RAW is the dating app for recovering dating burnouts and seekers of organic connections. One (dual) picture daily, then repeat. Simple as that. The time of posting changes every day, so just exit The John before you snap. 

If you’re nervous about being left in dating limbo… again, RAW limits unreplied messages after a period. Maybe daters will finally learn ghosting isn’t cool? We can dream. But RAW makes it easy to. The apps “Pinky Promise” before creating an account calms the nerves of running into any unworthy suitors. All users promise to act as sweet as apple pie…or else. But why would you want to get kicked off an app that lets you choose passions like stripping, 420, or subway kid?

So, what happens after you snap a pic and pinky swear to be respectful? You swipe like we’ve been training for since Tinder. The only difference is you don’t have to swipe through profiles. Users get to see what singles are up to in their city on the daily. Once two users like each other’s dual picture, RAW grants you access to your “crush’s” profile. Okay, I said no profile, but this one is just five pictures and your passions. You can choose to add more info if you so desire. But your crush already liked you for the real you. There’s no need to be someone you’re not.
