SPH Magazines adds Times Publishing titles to its mobile app

SPH Magazines and Times Publishing have partnered to digitise and electronically distribute the latter's titles on SPH Magazine's online platform, expanding offerings to subscribers.

Bringing Times Publishings' titles onboard will boost the 105 titles currently published by SPH Magazines, which include Her World, Men's Health, CLEO, The Peak, ICON, Home & Decor and HWM.
