Based on the current situation, Gruveo app was pulled from the App Store and ​Google Play in the UAE.

What Gruveo says:

We are sorry for any inconvenience this blocking might have caused you. We are sad to say goodbye to all our UAE users and hope to welcome them back in the future ​if the block is ever be lifted.
