New app launched by The Village NEWS

Writer: Raphael da Silva.

After almost a year of hard work The Village NEWS has launched My VILLAGE, a news, information and tourism application (app) for Overberg residents and visitors that can be easily downloaded from Google Play Store or Apple iTunes directly to a smartphone or tablet.

Apart from providing news and information from the Overberg, My VILLAGE will offer a breaking news service that will send push notifications about important events such as fires, flooding and road closures to users.

By keeping our communities informed of the latest news and delivering updated reports on unfolding stories, we foresee that the app will become an invaluable tool for residents. In addition, the My VILLAGE app can be used as a handy directory to find businesses in the Overberg.

For R50 a month, companies will be able to list their businesses on the app and users will be able to make a direct booking, for a restaurant or tourist activity for example, or email an enquiry to an electrician or plumber, or make contact with businesses whose products or services they may need.
