Expert's Review
First off, Ourcast is a simple weather app that forecast over the next 2 hours. It focuses on the accurate short-them and hyper-local prediction. This makes it more reliable than other app. You can use the browse bar to search the weather on your destination or just for curiosity.
However, there's an added-value feature: Ourcast community. Once you've check forecast on your location (or your destination), you can check-in the place and add comments regarding the weather. This is really useful: nothing more reliable than a user review (who's actually experiencing it).
The app is set in good-looking layout and it's really easy to get the hang of it: just check-in, comment, search and check. Intuitive, accurate and social. More than we expected from a weather app. Highly recommendable.
Ourcast is the weather app that tells you if there will be rain, or snow, in any location you choose, during any minute over the next 2 hours.

Only been using for a day and seems to work very well. Lots of additional features over similar apps. Love the radar features. Very accurate so far.

Shows me in Van Buren, Maine when I'm actually in Dublin, Ireland. Fix this and with more users it will get 5*.
