About

My name is David Evans and I live in Cornwall, I retired a few years ago having spent my life working in software development.

Having worked in many areas of computing, I spent the last 30 years working in the graphic arts area creating software for the sign and screen industries.

I started on teletypes and have worked on many different platforms, but never developed software for mobile devices and decided to create a mobile app as a hobby and my initial idea was to create a simple tide clock that I could give away, looked for free software, but either wasnt available or only limited number of calls (aimed at single user) or wasnt very accurate and I really wanted accurate data (at least as is available).
