Ray doesn’t return his shopping carts
The app is garbage, and someone told me he doesn’t return his shopping carts because “they pay people to do that.”

Horrible App
I got the paid subscription and now the dashboard won’t load my favorites. Spend your money elsewhere.

Free service is fine!
Given I don’t pay for the app, I find that the app offers a lot of into-all I need in fact. I have a hard time reading the font in the morning (wish it was a darker font) but otherwise the app is good.

Love the local
Thanks so much for an accurate local weather
If you need a new spot for a weather station How about Creston
Take care n God Bless

Such a better app!
The old app was terrible. This one is phenomenal.

Never Worked
I was logged into my account, but I never got the premium content. All I had was the forecast information that was free. It was very frustrating! It did the same thing on the website.

Doesn’t show asheville weather
New app design forces me to look at Boone weather by default, and it takes many taps to look at asheville weather. This appears to be in deference to their new paid subscription service which of course makes viewing asheville weather easy by allowing “favorites.” Edit: the best workaround I can find is to tap on the Map button and then choose asheville. Glad to find it, but it’s still not right that easily getting to the correct forecast for my area requires a subscription.
Edit: they have changed the app icon to be a white guy’s face. Not what I want to see when I turn my phone on every morning. Please change it back to puffy clouds or something pleasant, please!

Correction of a prior review
One morning, while attempting to check the weather on the Rays Weather App, I became totally frustrated by no updated information. I soon realized that the problem was my phone, as it needed to be reset. Since then, updates have been right on time and accurate for our area! We love their calendars and have given many as gifts! Five stars!

Fabulous app, Ray is so accurate
I have followed this weather guy for maybe 30 years and he is unfailingly accurate and now that he has built a larger team and has an app, I am ever more satisfied. I read all the complaints here on the low star reviews and those must be from people who are 80 years old and don't know how to use an app because everything they complain about you can fix yourself in the personalized settings for the app.

Good forecasts; sorry app
Updated forecasts are issued twice a day or sometimes more often. But the app keeps showing the same forecast for days. The only way way to force it to fetch the updated forecast seems to be to totally close the app, not just switch to some other app and come back.
It would be a decent app if only it worked.

Loved for years
Rays has been great for accurate forecast in Boone for years. The transition is a little buggy but it will work out. I appreciate the info for the past 20+ years.

wait to purchase until app updates!
long time ray’s fan here. i bought the subscription without hesitation and everything was good until i had to use the app for access to the members-only account. the app freezes up almost every time it is opened and i have to restart my phone to use the app again…. total pain. i’m back to looking at the (limited) forecast through the browser.

So much for a good app
The recent upgrade is terrible. I paid for the app a few years ago and could look at the weather for my area. Now with the “ upgrade “ they want more money and my old subscription is useless. I couldn’t even leave the review they asked for in the app. I’m just gonna delete it and be done. Hope they are happy over there.

Bait and switch
Was great - you paid for the app and could set your favorite- now it has updated and that is all gone and you have to pay monthly to get the old features- so disappointing - can’t set a favorite forecast and the interface is much clunkier

Pay and ads
My only complaint about the app is that you both have to purchase the app for $1.99 and it still includes advertising across the app. It would be nice if payment removed ads.

Ok but not great
Awkward to change pages. Recently the app takes me to a page for Peak Insurance and I can’t get to the actual weather.
But Ray’s forecast is always more accurate than the others.

Font Is Too Small
We’ve relied on Ray’s Weather for our quirky mountain weather for many years. The font is now unreadable for many people and can’t be expanded. The forecast is useless for us if we can’t read it.

Great addition to a great weather website
I have followed Ray’s Weather on the website for years. This app is a terrific addition to the service. It is an even faster way to check your local weather.
