Tools

We have developed a number of handy tools that can be utilised on your mobile device and your PC if you are running Windows 10.

All it takes is the installation of one free application called OPEN AS APP. This handy App contains all the tools in one easy to access place and it can be used offline once you have it on your device. When we update any of the tools or add new tools, the App will prompt you to update.
