Hey Ronald (and future visitors)! As of December 2025, the GBMobile App is currently inactive as we focus development primarily for the GripBeats® Desktop App *(found here: https://www.gripbeats.com/collections/gripbeats%C2%AE-desktop-app).

You’ll still be able to use all of the GripBeats® Patches, and on all of your preexisting DAWs (via BLE MIDI). You will just have to use the nRF firmware updating method (as opposed to the GBMobile App) instead – instruction found here *(https://www.gripbeats.com/blogs/news/how-to-download-a-gripbeats%C2%AE-patch). Thank you!

I don’t know if it’s me or what, but I can’t find the Gripbeats android mobile app. Can you help me.?
