NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RAW, the #1 downloaded dating app, is taking a bold step to tackle ghosting, a common problem in online dating.

We're not just building an app, we're performing a dating exorcism.

Share

With a $100,000 investment in its ‘Bye-Bye Ghosting’ campaign, RAW is turning ghosting into an opportunity for users. Each week, the app randomly selects users who have been ghosted to receive exciting gifts, increased visibility within the app, and free Premium access.

Turning Ghosting Into a Win

Ghosting is a frustrating reality in online dating. RAW aims to change that by working with its community, allowing users to share their stories on a dedicated website, and offering rewards such as new iPhones and gift cards to Amazon, Sephora, and other popular retailers. The app’s goal is simple: make ghosting less painful and encourage better communication.

RAW has also added a new ‘Ghosting Killer’ feature, which prevents users from starting new chats until they respond to old ones, and has already reduced ghosting significantly. Only 1-5% of users have unanswered chats, and RAW is committed to lowering that number even further.

"We're not just building an app, we're performing a dating exorcism," says Marina Anderson, RAW's co-founder. "Our users deserve respect, and that starts with honest communication. After all, ghosting is hard to overcome, but we're creating a space to make online dating better, allowing users to enjoy the experience and avoid burnout."

Real Results, Less Ghosting

  • 92% of women and 99% of men on RAW have fewer than five unanswered chats.
  • Compared to other apps, where ghosting is the norm, RAW users stay engaged and connected.

Besides that, RAW’s real-time snapshot feature also ensures users engage with authentic, current photos, further reducing ghosting and fake profiles.

RAW is setting a new standard for online dating by reducing ghosting and rewarding users for staying engaged. The app’s approach is gaining attention and inspiring other platforms to rethink their strategies.

Dating’s New Justice System: Women Control Who Stays on This Dating App

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RAW gives women power in dating: letting them decide which men stay on the platform and which are permanently removed. With the new feature, women can flag men’s behavior directly on their profiles: green for positive, beige for neutral, and red for harmful. Enough green flags increase a man’s visibility across the app. Too many red flags, and his account is permanently removed. Importantly, the system is tightly moderated. Women choose only from a fixed list of flags...

For women by women: how RAW dating app protects against scam

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Brainstorming such a potential product, for women by women, we only got carried away to reimagining the entire industry: dating that makes a woman feel good without pressures of first steps with suitors confident enough to show their faces safe from scam and abuse. And at some point, the fatigue made us feel along the lines of ‘it’s easier to make our own dating app than to keep putting up with the existing ones!’ To follow that vision, we designed RAW—not ‘another’...
