Across the Pond - Designed by Neil Mitchell
A Brit who has lived in both the United Kingdom and the United States, I created Across the Pond because I wanted the kind of app I would use myself. From words and recipes to measurements, clothing sizes and everyday shopping, it brings together the practical differences between the two countries in one simple, easy-to-use app.
