Description
Been using RAW: date 100% real people for a couple months now. It’s basically a dating app where you can meet real people, not just fake profiles. The hook is that you take a quick back and front camera shot to post your profile, so there’s no room for catfishing or heavily edited pics. Gotta be your true self on this one.
Here’s what you do: you can browse through profiles, swipe to match with people you’re interested in, and then start chatting. There’s also a feed where you can see what everyone’s been up to – looks pretty fun, like a mini social network. And you can share your own raw, unfiltered moments too, which is a nice touch.
Look, if you’re tired of the fake, curated profiles on other dating apps, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the interface can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job of connecting you with real people. Worth checking out if that’s what you’re looking for.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on RAW: date 100% real people. I've tested a bunch of dating apps and this one's a pretty solid option if you want something more authentic. The raw, unfiltered profile pics are a nice change of pace from the overly-edited stuff you see everywhere. And the feed feature makes it more social, which I dig. On the downside, the app can be a bit buggy at times and the user base is still relatively small compared to the big players. But if you're sick of the catfishing and phoniness of other dating apps, RAW is worth giving a shot.

I'm glad I read the reviews before trying it. I may have been disappointed if I expected something else. If your intention going in is to see a diverse amount...
Location filters please?!?!? The profiles appear to be real people, so that's good. The problem is that there seems to be no consideration for location. I keep getting matches for...
Terrible experience thusfar. My location is off by 50 miles minimum, can't see their profile to know what they're looking for, the daily adds have no face pics even though...
