Great for focus

I tried many of these apps, this one i like the best. Natural sounds, immersive, with great visuals. i respond much better to this
than, say, AI generated background sounds.

Great for work focus

The ambient soundtracks in noise-canceling headphones do wonders for my focus at work. When I hear the volcano sounds, I know
it's time to buckle down.

Great app one suggestion

I love all the portals available but if you are working on adding more maybe focus on some that give a better ambiance for
interesting environments. Like maybe a bustling city or horses riding.

Instant Focus

Portal is an immersive experience of an app that I'd go so far as to deem 'essential'. I break it out for extended study sessions,
ripping through life's paperwork, or simply enjoying a rare moment by myself to breathe.

This app is an instant 'on switch' for being able to focus :)!

What I've been waiting for

This is exactly what I've been waiting for. It is like a window in my office to beautiful places.

Portal is a very unique app.

I heard about Portal from the App Store "best of 2023" press release. The app is really intuitive and easy to use. Having a
calming dynamic desktop image with sound is really nice. It can keep in the mood/zone...even when surrounded by people in a noisy
coffee shop:)

Portal

The first thing I noticed when I saw the first one was that it looked really cool. The second thing was that it had a very nice
design and the color was a little different than most other designs I’ve seen.

Worth it.

Incredible app. One of the few I actually use. Please consider adding SharePlay to the app. This would be wonderful to experience
with others to share together in real-time.

The only app I will keep on my phone at all times! Well worth the money spent and the added functionality you all keep adding.
Thank you

Brilliant App

This app saved me last semester and I'm sure it will have the same effect this semester. It dramatically improved my ability to
not only focus when I needed to focus, but relax and calm down when the stresses of school got to be too much to handle. 10/10

Definitely exceeded my expectations. Maybe make it a true portal and add live cams one day?

Fantastic app but can be better

I really like this app, this app digs deep into the possibilities of dynamic wallpaper, with the sound is also very natural. But I
need some extra feature, like hide the dock icon, randomly switch according to time, etc.

Apple TV & Watch Apps

Any plans for Apple TV and Apple Watch apps? Also just a suggestion, wish for thunderstorm portals my hue lights would flash then
hear the thunder just like another app called Thunderscapes unless you guys can’t use that same idea. Otherwise, great app and
looking forward to future updates

Lack of updates

For probably around 6 months the app has been saying “coming soon” to new environments. Otherwise it’s a very pretty app.

5 stars no questions asked

There are many apps that do similar things to this app but none do it better than Portal and it’s just that simple 🤷‍♂️

Superior relief

Getting quiet work done amid the hurly-burly is so much easier with a waterfall or forest or seashore in my ears. This library
of sounds turns on, and my muscle tension releases so I can focus. Wonderful!

I use the Portal app to focus on to relax. It helps me get through my day some days. Especially if I’m really stressed for work.

Wonderful App

I am so thankful for this app. I suffer from PTSD and depression and I have been able to put on my headphones in moments of
anxiety and despair to help me calm. This app is a godsend and I’m so thankful to the Portal staff.

Common sense:

I escape sleep when I focus so we all need to dumb down the thought process? You can thank your common sense for getting you to
sleep.

Awesome App No real complaints

This app is perfect! Especially when I can play music of my choice. I just wish the dynamic sound worked with my Bose headsets and
Beats Flex earpiece.

Perfect Escape

The sound quality and variety of Portals is amazing. The dynamic spatial audio makes it feel so realistic. One suggestion would be
an Apple TV app. Highly recommend this app though.

Love this app. Wish it had Apple TvOS app.

Love relaxing to the app. I play it over AirPlay to my HomePod (original model) stereo pair in the living room. Wish it had a
version for Apple TV / tvOS so I could see the visuals on the big screen. Am excited for the macOS version. Keep up the great
work!

Stunning

I bought this app when it came out, I have used this almost every day at work… been a couple years now. The new portals are
absolutely amazing. Overlay some music on top of the portals and you’re in for a great time. Amazing work Devs. Thank you for
this wonderful app!

Expensive but worth it

The pricing is kind of expensive but I literally could not focus on my work for a few weeks so I tried this app; it worked like a
charm. The pricing is kind of expensive and I haven’t explored the other similar apps, but this gets the job done and I’m
happy!

experiences

Apple TV PLEASE

I love this app so much, but I’d really like a more immersive sound experience through more capable speakers than headphones.
I’d really appreciate support for an Apple TV app. Otherwise, this app is solid and great to have on while I work.

Forced Landscape Mode On iPad

Boooooo! There’s no reason for forced landscape when portrait works fine on iPhone

Other than that, great app. Using it for years on my iPhone, but now I just started using it on my iPad….. Booooo landscape!

When I’m working from home I’m easily distracted by my family, but using the Portal app with my AirPods keeps me focused.

Hi, I wonder if there’s …

a bug or something? As an early adopter, v1 user I guess, I lost my pro status this month…or the pro feature was only available
for 2 or 3 years?

Great app. Subscription based.

The app itself is quite good. I wouldn’t mind paying a one-time fee of $10 or $15. But I just can’t get on board with a
subscription, and a pricey subscription. All the best.

Voiceover accessability

This will work even better if VoiceOver, was taken into consideration when developing this app.

Not for the average person

At 9.99 / month, 49.99 / year or 249.99 for lifetime it’s way out of my price range. This is for people with money but it is
beautiful and well designed just too expensive.

Beautiful but subscription based is a no go for me

This is a sleek, beautiful looking app. Images are gorgeous, sounds are amazing. However the subscription based model is a no go
for me. I wish I could just purchase the sounds I want.
