The technology only supports a specific demographic of the world in order to add an air of exclusivity. Here are seven things to know about it:

The app targets artists and other creative apps, focusing on those whose name you would probably recognize.
Raya allows celebrities, YouTube stars and other artists to join based on their Instagram and other social media presence. You need to have a certain following to join.
Some are calling it the “Illuminati Tinder” as a selective and secretive group of people chooses who gets in and who doesn’t.
Privacy is quite important for such an app, as you can screenshot images from other people’s profiles, but you get a warning that if that image ends up online, you may get kicked out.
Raya is a bit more intimate than Tinder as a person’s profile allows you to view a PowerPoint-esque video presentation of their life, including moving images played to music in a similar fashion to the way you can view your Facebook friends’ profile over the years if they choose to share it.
Most users on the app prefer to keep their presence on it in the down low, further pointing toward the privacy issues that other apps have.
Some prefer Raya for the simple fact that everyone on the app supposedly have their life together, unlike other dating apps.
