What’s New

This stunning new collection of portals takes you right into the heart of Costa Rica’s pristine rainforests.

**Improvements**
- An exclusive discount from our friends at Nanoleaf is now available, and can be used across the entire Nanoleaf product line. Head to Settings > Lighting.
- All circular portal tiles now have all relevant menu options available: you can play/pause, favourite/unfavourite & share.
- Author labels have been introduced for quotes used in articles & portal descriptions.
**Fixes**
- An issue that could lead to lower than optimal resolution visuals being used on portrait displays has been fixed.
- Screens no longer freeze when mirroring across multiple monitors.
- Fixes have been put in place to ensure Portal is silky smooth when being played across multiple displays.
A massive thank you to everyone who has helped make this release possible, from our hosts & team in Costa Rica, the awesome folks at Nanoleaf and all of our Mac beta testers, who from the very beginning encouraged us to support display spanning and multi-display orientation - here’s to all of you!
Wherever you may be in the world, we hope you thoroughly enjoy all that this release brings.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
How can an app about sound look this gorgeous? Portal is part immersive audio experience and part travel companion, a way to lose yourself in lush audio environments from all corners of the globe, all through a cool minimalist UI and stunning HD visuals. Focus, study, or snooze to downpours in the Amazon, lapping waves from the lochs of Scotland, whale song from the deep blue waters of Tahiti, or thunder on the Great Plains. Tap a sound and the app transforms into an aesthetically pleasing clock; set a timer to drift off to sleep to winds on the Isle of Skye or wake to a springtime chorus in London. Bonus: Pair compatible AirPods to experience it all in spatial audio.
Take my money, excellent! Request for the 5th star.
2022 update: 5 stars, new feature works.
I just bought the full version of the app, I love your great creation. Just one request, please integrate the Yeelight smart lamps which are supported from Apple Home too, I believe many people have alternatives than Philips ones. Thank you in advance.
Developer Response ,
Hi pantelg95, thank you for your review! Great to hear that you are enjoying Portal. We love your feedback and can confirm that we're currently looking at broadening connnectivity to other smart lights via HomeKit support. However, I'm afraid we can't provide a definitive date for delivery just yet but it's definitely one of a number of exciting new developments that we've planned. If you'd like to be one of our beta testers when this feature is ready please do let us know by contacting us at hello@portal.app. Many thanks, Nick.
Update: Hi pantelg95, I hope you're well and that you are thoroughly enjoying using Portal. I hope you don't mind me reaching out. I wanted to let you know that excitingly we are making good progress with developing HomeKit support for Portal! Once complete this will mean that you and others in the Portal Community can connect and use Portal with a wider range of smart lights. We are almost ready to open our beta testing programme and if you'd like to be one of our beta testers please email us at hello@portal.app :) but please don't feel obliged to at all. Hopefully, it won't be too long until we can release this exciting build and make the lighting immersion of the Portal experience accessible to more people! Many thanks, Nick.
Hi pantelg95, I wanted to share with you the exciting news that our latest release (v3.4.0) expands the lights Portal supports to include not only Philips Hue, but also Nanoleaf and HomeKit compatible lights (including Yeelights that are HomeKit enabled). It will hopefully means you'll now be able to enjoy the added immersive experience and magical sense of escapism that our lighting integration brings to the experience - we hope you thoroughly enjoy it! Many thanks for your feedback, support and encouragement - it means a lot, Nick.
Excellent
I am lucky that I found this app recommended on App Store because all the graphics and the sounds are so natural that you feel like you are there and it creates a surround environment that makes you feel that you just left from your body and travelled somewhere else
Developer Response ,
👋 Hi KonstantinosArav,
Thank you ever so much for sharing your amazing feedback!
For us, Portal's all about recreating the feeling of being in some of the world's most peaceful and beautiful corners of the world, providing instant escapes that induce calm, reduce stress and anxiety, improve mental fatigue & concentration, enhance cognitive performance and unlock creativity. Key to this is the realism, immersion and overall quality of the experience, so we're thrilled that it's coming across!
The exciting thing is we feel as though we've only really just scratched the surface on what Portal can do and have so much more planned that will continue to build upon and improve the Portal experience and really push the boundaries of its effectiveness by combining cutting edge research in the field of environmental psychology with the latest advances in immersive technology, including the upcoming release of Apple Vision Pro.
Our big dream is by creating a relationship with the natural world through digital and virtual tools Portal can have a ripple effect that positively influences our mindset and relationship with the real world. In the words of David Attenborough, “no one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced” and we’re passionate about Portal playing a part in ensuring we don’t lose touch with the magic nature can bring to our lives. Well, that the hope!
Truth be told this simply wouldn't be possible without the support, encouragement and enthusiasm of people like you - so thank you, it honestly means a lot,
Stu, Andy, Nick & Tim - Team Portal.
