Groove, my offline music player for iPhone, is rolling out on the App Store! 🎉
It’s available only as a one-time purchase. No subscriptions!
To celebrate, I’ve made it 50% off for the first week, and it will go up to full price on March 21st.
If you’re in the EU, I am in the process of making it available there. 🤞
