The vision is to simplify the reading experience in an innovative and accessible manner. Basically, MyEdit allows you to read what you want, when you want it.”

In addition to stories from top magazines, newspapers and carefully selected SA bloggers, users can also contribute to the app by uploading pictures and even their favourite recipes.
