Wow amazing!

Wow! This is amazing! It’s amazing virtual reality audio. Not to be offtopic, but as a matter of fact, I might be testing a virtual reality game that kind of like this, called circus Masters revenge which you use sound to shoot enemies.Anyway, do you think you can add some more things, for Halloween as well? Like the haunted mansion ride at Disneyland, or even some Star Wars things? Also do you think you can add a walking feature where you can virtually walk anywhere and it will pick up where you walked? This is a great app! I strongly think you should develop games for the blind as well. It’s the same concept, only a game. And Audiogame.Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for the kind review, we are doing our best to make this the best it can be. None of this would be possible without people like you. Augmented reality is definitely something we've been thinking about. Stay tuned, more to come!

I love the idea of this app...

I love the idea of this app, and the recordings it does have are beautiful, gritty, hypnotic, whatever you want, sort of. There need to be more!!! That is my biggest criticism. I rarely rate apps, usually only when there’s a problem, like a lot of other people. But I think this app could be something truly wonderful, the companion to something like Google Earth, which has elevated the armchair traveler (or housebound person, like me,) into an actual sightseer. With Travelear people could expand their experience to the all-encompassing sound of places they love or have dreamed of visiting. Of course the recordings they have at present are a small but decent collection of exotic white-noise, but they’re also wonderful in and of themselves. I will probably never travel to my favourite city—London—again, but hearing the very familiar sounds of ‘The Tube’ was like coming home. I also use this app (and other better ones, in my opinion) to evoke a mood or a time or a place when I am reading (big fan of historical fiction.) Travelear, with more places, sounds, & choices would be an app I would use every single day.

First off, I love this clever idea of an app. It’s gritty and sounds like I’m literally there. Props to the developers. I wish there was a sleep timer tho. I want to fall asleep to this music, I also wish it was updated more. Seems kinda the same thing over and over. Maybe a playlist option too? Also on the lock screen if I want to go back a song or skip a song I would like that option. :)Anyways thanks for creating this :)

thanks for the feedback! We agree on your ideas, some of them coming in the next release ;)

Excellent quality yet too short track duration

I’ve been looking for an appLike this for a long time. Binaural Audio is amazing but I fear the point has been missed a little. The track durations are way to short to allow true immersion. I tried laying back and letting myself drift off but I’m slammed back to reality by the sudden fade out after only a few minutes. Furthermore a little variation in the position of the microphone would be nice along with some info on the best position to be in. I.e positioning the microphone to mimic laying on the beach with your head towards the water. This way the listener knows that the track is best experienced laying down. I feel like the developer likes recording these but hasn’t gotten 100% serious about it. Give us an hour of sitting in a forest or on a park bench in Central Park. The point should be to give us the audio and let our minds fill in the other senses. With a little tweaks this could be a home run!So close to being a “take my money” app.

Thank you so much! We are aware of many of the issues you mentioned, especially with some of the older ones. We had some learning curves :). Interesting point about head position...something to stew over. Our other app Dreamear, has similar recordings but with an infinite loop you might want to check out as well.
