Denver singles plagued by catfishers and ghosters might find solace at last.
The RAW dating app,
raw.app, launched in the Mile High City in February, promising users a more genuine, “unfiltered” experience than predecessors like Tinder and Hinge.
It basically works like BeReal. Once a day, users are prompted to take a photo of themselves and their surroundings using their phone’s front and back cameras. Those daily photos are what singles swipe yes-or-no on when selecting dates on the app. Users have to take new photos every 24 hours and they can’t swipe on other people until they update their daily pictures.
“We designed it this way so everyone can get a real-time snapshot of someone’s life, not vacation pics from five years ago,” says Marina Anderson, co-founder of RAW. “If they want to learn more about someone, they can swipe up on their profile and can see their daily photos from the last few days, too.”
