About Oscilab - Groovebox

The app is easy to pick up, it is fun to sketch out ideas, has low latency and is actually usable compared to 98% of the other audio apps for Android.

Really fun and creative without invasive ads and it doesn't cook my phone by overheating. I've had it now for a year and a half no problem don't trip on the negative nellys you be the judge.

I cannot be bothered playing with other people's preset loops. I prefer programming my own in. It's beautifully fun, and very passionately created, but with only preset beats it is only an elaborate toy I'm afraid.

Really cool app, extremely clever/innovative in its approach to groove composition. Was about to pay for the full version until I noticed it looks like the developer isn't supporting it anymore. Oh well...

Great app overall! Fun synthesis app, effective overall! Easy to manipulate and come up with ideas effectively on the fly or in more thought out manner! Ideal for learner, intermediate, pro or couch warrior, definitely give it a go, for one reason or another.

OK...this is pretty awesome! A little intimidating, but the '?'/help - icon was great. Nice window too. Really nice app!!! I feel like I've had a big O'l glass of Eletric Kool-Aid! Refreshed, and charged!

This is by far the best sequencer app I have downloaded on my phone. I may have to break down and purchase the full model for Christmas.

As in other reviews, toy fits accurately. Entertaining for 10 minutes. I also think the color scheme is ugly as f. Get caustic instead.

Brilliant groove box style sequencer. I think the people who moan about putting your own notes in do not get the concept of the app

It's a fun little toy way to limited to do anything complex with. If you are learning music it can be a good tool but I would not consider this a serious mobile daw.

Great UI and strikes a nice (and hard to achieve) balance between function and simplicity for a mobile formatted app in this genre.

It has glitches when you switch scenes. Maybe it is my phone... overall I enjoy making beats rather than playing games. Thank you to the developer(s) for your time and effort.

Nice app BUT you should add a possibility to transpose a single note. Id like to use this app to write down melodies that are in my head when i dont have my notebook with ableton on me.

I like this app very much. I would like to be able to put your Own notes and melodies in the piano roll. Not having any control when you are placing the notes down makes it difficult to edit a custom melody. But the overall usage and features are sick.
