Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
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.
Incredible for Sleep and Getting Work Done
This app was a game changer for me. I’ve always struggled to go to sleep. I have tried music, sleeping masks, white noise, muscle relaxation, etc. This app was really helpful in transporting me to beautiful, serene locations, putting my mind at ease, and finally allowing me to sink into the depths of unconsciousness at night, It’s soundscapes are beautifully realized visually, with varied, 3D immersive sound. I discovered that some of the soundscapes, especially the barley field and the cloud rainforest, were great aids to helping me write and work without getting distracted. Overall, the app has been a great improvement to my quality of life, which I did not expect initially.
I initially got the free version and was really satisfied with the included features, so I upgraded. I have to say the monetization model was really wonderful, encouraging me to support developers without making me feel like I had to pay for a good experience. Recently the app was updated with tons of new sounds from Scotland and Slovenia. It now includes a subscription model, but for the quantity and quality of content, it seems well worth it, especially because it will help the developers flesh out the app even more. On top of that, they gave everyone who had purchased the app free access to everything, which is incredibly generous! I look forward to great new content in the future. Thank you so much!
Developer Response ,
Hi Quantumlightgamer06, thank you so much for sharing your Portal experience and not least your incredibly kind words. Knowing that Portal has helped improve the quality of your life has put the biggest smiles on our faces - it's a goal that we hoped and dreamed Portal would achieve when we first launched and remains our driving ambition going forward! Thank you for your feedback and for being one of our early paid adopters, without your trust, support and encouragement during those early days it's unlikely we would have been able to grow Portal to where we are to-date. We hope you enjoy escaping to the beautiful Slovenian Alps and the Scottish Highlands, as well as a lifetime of escapes around the world to come! Nick.
Great app! Great developers!!
Update: Everything said before still goes! A year (or more?) later and developers still staying true to their customers! And thankyou for update on new sounds coming, I can not wait!!! And thankyou for taking in customer feedback and adding more variety of sounds💛
Previous review: I just wanted to update review since last app update and say again, it was refreshing to see an app devoloper stay consitent, although they switched to a subscription model they did add a way to pay a 1 time fee, and although its more then the $4, still compared to other apps $30 for lifetime is far more reasonable. But most important thing to note is they allowed the users who previously paid the $4 to buy the app to keep the full version along with all the updates, so when you purchase from this devoloper you can be assured you will keep what you paid for regardless of any future changes in the pricing model, and that is hard thing to come by now a days in the apple world, so thankyou! Suggestions: I also would love to see some more light autumn/forest sounds, maybe without birds (or at least light bird sound in distance and spread out a bit) in future, there are lots of water ones wich are great but more like the barley field one (wich is PERFECTLY done!) I would love!

Updated reply: 👋 Hi Michelle, so lovely to hear from you! Absolutely delighted to hear that the first batch of St Lu portals have gone down so well :)
And we really appreciate your patience with things and sorry about the tease - definitely not our intention. The super exciting news though is the second batch is on its way in the next few weeks along with our new Iceland collection and Spring collection - together these will more than double the number of portals in the Library to over 100 destinations for you to escape to and immerse yourself in. I know I'm biased, but I think they're some of our best yet! So lots to look forward to, which will hopefully make the wait worthwhile. 🤞 you love them when they land.
As always, a massive thank you for all your support and enthusiasm for what we do - means a huge amount to us.
Previous reply: Hi Michelle, thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback - we're incredibly humbled by your kind words and your support - it really does mean a lot to us :)
So pleased that you're a fan of the Devon Spring Barley Field portal - it's one of my favs too! The field happens to be close to where my wife grew up and her parents still live, so it brings back lots of great memories of years gone by.
Great suggestions for future content! I'll be sure to add these to our ideas board and we'll keep them in mind as we plan out our content strategy for the year aheads. Thanks again for your support and enthusiasm - it's infectious and motivates us to continually strive to push the envelope and develop Portal in a way that we can be proud of, Nick.
