Ed YOUNG INTRODUCES A NEW APP Ed Young, the former Gloucestershire batsman and slow left armer, has developed a new nightlife app which helps users find nearby bars and to know what the real-time vibe is there. WhatBar is now available to download on Android and Apple iPhone and provides live data of what is happening out and about. ” I set up the business myself and I use a freelance company to make the app because I don’t have the skills myself to do the programming,” Young said. ” But I formulated the idea myself and I know from my experiences of playing cricket that, when people go to a new town or city, that it’s not easy to find out the places to go and what the atmosphere is like in them. ” WhatBar is a community-driven app that allows users to contribute up-to-date information through a quick simple reporting system, which automatically updates the live data which keeps the app in real time. ” So when they are on their phones in a bar they can report what’s going on and let others know what’s going on and that helps others make a decision of where they want to have a drink. “It’s early days for WhatBar. I have much bigger plans for it, but I want it to be THE nightlife app.” Young, who left Gloucestershire two years ago, is playing Minor Counties cricket for Wiltshire and his just helped his club side, Potterne, to promotion in the West of England Premier League. ” I am still loving my cricket and still trying to play professionally,” Young said. ” I am very keen to get back involved but WhatBar is a side project at the moment.” {{ak_sharing}}
