Liked youWhy Rynova
Fewer swipes. Better people.
Endless swiping wears you out. Rynova shows you fewer, better matched people, and makes sure they are who they say they are.
Verified by a real person
Take a live selfie copying a pose we choose, and someone on our team checks it against your photos.
Matched on what matters
Every profile shows how well you fit, with the things you both love up front.
Conversations that flow
Photos, voice notes, GIFs and reactions, plus read receipts, so a match becomes a real conversation.

Pay with M-Pesa or card
A one-off pass, never a subscription, so nothing renews without you. Free members can also watch a short ad for a little extra.
Is Rynova free?
Yes. Creating a profile, discovering people, matching and chatting are free. Gold is optional, for when you want to see who likes you and go further.
Who can join?
Anyone 18 or older who wants something real. We are launching in Kenya first, with more countries to follow.
Why isn't Rynova on Google Play yet?
We are launching in Kenya with a direct download first, and our Google Play listing is on its way. It is the same app, signed by us. When it reaches Google Play, you can switch without losing your account.
Is it safe to install from this site?
Yes, as long as you download it here. Android asks you once to allow installs from your browser; that is normal for apps outside Google Play. Never install a copy of Rynova sent to you by someone else.
Which phones does it work on?
Android 7.0 or newer. The main download suits most phones from the last six years. If your phone says “App not installed”, use the 32-bit version under the button. An iPhone version will follow.
How does verification work?
In the app, open Verification and take a live selfie copying the pose shown. A moderator compares it with your photos and you get a notification with the result.
How do I pay for Gold?
With M-Pesa or a card, through Paystack. Gold is a pass for a set time, never a subscription, so nothing renews without you.
Can I delete my account?
Any time, in the app: Profile, Your data, Delete account. You can download a copy of your data on the same screen first. No app? Ask us here.
