Dear Mappers,
MadMapper 5 is out and it's free for v4 owners!
It's more powerful than ever, it's M1 native for macOS users and it introduces a new website along a new user-centric licensing system you'll love. No more Yourspace : create your user account now from the MadMapper website!
If you're a v4 owner, import your current license in your new account, then download MadMapper 5 for free from the Downloads tab!
For v1 to v3 owners, enjoy the -20% MADWEEK offer valid until Thursday, December 2nd!
Plus, MadLaser is the other big news: it's the first paid extension of MadMapper 5 and it allows you to control beams of light while benefiting from everything you already love in MadMapper!
