Reports need your location at the door. Nobody reports from their couch.
IIUnder real names
No anonymous reports, so people stand behind what they say.
IIIHonest when unsure
Mixed reports say mixed. Old ones grey out and show their age.
IV"Still right?" in a tap
Anyone there can confirm a reading, so it stays fresh all night.

08 Questions
Good toknow
Is Groove free?
Yes. Downloading Groove, browsing venues, checking covers and lines, and discovering events costs nothing. You only pay when you buy something, like Instant Entry or a table.
Where do the covers and lines come from?
From people at the venue right now. Reports need your location, carry your name, and show how many people agree. When reports disagree, Groove says so, and old readings grey out instead of pretending to be current.
What makes an event "verified"?
Hosts of verified events commit to posting photo or video updates every 45 minutes. Miss an update and the badge drops.
When can I redeem Groovy Points?
Redemptions are coming soon: free covers, drink specials, and deals at local spots. Points you earn now bank automatically.
Is Groove on Android?
Groove is on the iPhone App Store today. Android is on the roadmap — join the waitlist and you'll be first to know.
I run a venue. How do I get on Groove?
Email us. We'll get your venue live, set you up to post covers, specials, and waits, and switch on Instant Entry and tables when you're ready.
