Support: raj@mirageapps.com Download User Guide for Mesh Remote(PDF) Response to reviews in the App Store Thanks for the positive review. "It would be nice to be able to see the progress of the song playing and know how much is left etc." This functionality is already supported by the app. Just open up the now playing screen inside the browser and touch the album art. The app will display a screen which shows the progress and also all the context items associated with the currently playing item. You can even play the context items or change the progress. You can also swipe right from this screen to look at the description/comments of the currently playing item. The app has a detailed user guide which can be downloaded from this web site. "I want to be able to control which song is playing on my iPod through my iPod as well as through my macbook" There is limited support for this. You can pause,play, change audio route, go to next track or go to previous track from the device which is being controlled. This functionality can be accessed from the now playing screen in the AppHome screen of the iPod/iPhone/iPad whose music library is being controlled. Will try to add more control in the next update.
