We are just putting the finishing touches to Mezzmo v4.0 and our brand new Mezzmo (Android) app.
We would like to invite a limited group of Mezzmo registered users to provide feedback how it performs with their devices and collection of files.
A few of the new features in Mezzmo v4.0 (Windows) that we would like feedback on:
