After installing

Three steps to a live lobby.

1 · Start or join a net

Make a net for your crew, or accept a friend's invite. Either way takes under a minute.

2 · Add an app

Point Gruve at something you've made. It gets a tile, an icon, and a place in everyone's lobby.

3 · Watch it bloom

When friends drop in, the tile lights up. That's it — that's the product.
