Grooveshark does have a mobile app for Android, but the app is often reported to be full of bugs. Normally, the official download access will give the users convenience to download as long as they pay, but that is not the case in Grooveshark. All in all, Grooveshark will serve as a perfect streaming music platform, but to download music from it, using third-party software like Joyoshare Audio Recorder would be better.
