January 31, 2024

Happy New Year everyone! We’re kicking 2024 off with a small release that includes fixes for a couple of troublesome bugs, as well as improvements that will ensure Portal works smoothly on Apple Vision Pro. - Fix for a situation where Shortcuts wouldn't play Portal’s audio if ‘Mix with Other Apps’ was turned on - Longer currencies, such as the Norwegian Krone, now fit the size of your screen better and avoid prices displaying confusingly. - Tweaks and enhancements have been made that mean Portal can be used compatibly on Apple Vision Pro. - We’ve made some improvements to articles in the library. They can now include image captions and embedded portals. Thank you to everyone that encouraged us to bring Portal to Apple Vision Pro - this update brings full compatibility to our existing iPad app. We hope you absolutely love experiencing Portal on this exciting new platform! We also wanted to say a massive thank you for all the positive feedback we have received for the latest instalment of our Iceland collection: ‘The Fire Within’. We couldn’t be happier to hear that you are enjoying them! The exciting thing is there’s lots more amazing new portals to come and we can’t wait to share them with you - so stay tuned! In the meantime, if there’s anything we can do to improve your experience, however big or small, please don’t hesitate to drop us a line at hello@portal.app - we’d love to hear from you. Thanks as always, Andy, Nick, Tim & Stu - Team Portal.

3.7.4

February 21, 2023

Massive thanks go out to Alyx from the USA who recently helped us track down an elusive bug that was causing Portal’s audio and visuals to cut out! In truth, without his help we’d still be in the dark - what a legend! *Bug Fix* Downloading lots of portals at the same time now no longer causes audio playback to cut out and visuals to disappear. *Improvements* The awesome folks at Nanoleaf have kindly agreed to extend Portal customers’ exclusive discount across their full range of products. New discount code is available in Portal’s lighting setup. Thanks again to Alyx and the Nanoleaf team - you both light up our world in your own way :) PS. To everyone that’s put their hand up to help us test our Mac beta - the exciting news is we’re not too far away now. We simply can’t wait for you to give it a whirl. And if you haven’t volunteered yet but would like to, please drop us a line at hello@portal.app - the more the merrier!

3.7.3

January 19, 2023

Happy New Year everyone! We’ve been working hard to get our MacOS beta ready for release, it’s not quite there yet but we’re confident that we’re not too far off now - we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, a couple of pesky audio bugs have popped up following the latest iOS & iPadOS releases. So here are a couple of fixes that will get things sounding great again! - Sometimes Portal could get into a state where Static and Dynamic Spatial Audio would play at the same time, this has now been fixed. - We’ve clarified the messaging when headphones stop sending motion data (required for Dynamic Spatial Audio) and added an FAQ explaining how to fix the issue. - Fixes an issue where Portal’s audio controls could become unresponsive following a Siri conversation. As always we are super grateful to everyone that raised these with us and helped us get to the bottom of things. If you’ve encountered any bugs or have any feedback, please don’t hesitate to let us know - we’d love to hear from you. PS. We’re still on the lookout for more people happy to help us test our Mac beta. All that’s required is a Mac and a love of immersive sound and visuals! If you’re interested, please drop us a line at hello@portal.app

Hey all, just a small update from us that smooths out a couple of niggly issues that you’ve flagged with us. Special shout out to Andrey from Stockholm, who helped uncover a breathing-exercise bug that was causing Portal to crash - thanks again mate! *Bug Fix* - Portal no longer crashes when scrolling to the end of the list of breathing exercises whilst using an iPad trackpad. *Improvements* - Improved Premium sign-up wording that makes it clearer that only Annual Memberships include a 7-day free trial. - Various small interface tweaks & fixes. If there’s anything at all that we can do to improve your experience, however big or small, please feel free to get in touch at hello@portal.app PS. THANK YOU for all the amazing feedback for our new St Lucia collection - we’re over the moon that it’s been so well received so far! There are more St Lu portals to come, so please keep your eyes peeled.

Huge thanks to Ingo from Buenos Aires who recently flagged an issue preventing him from playing/pausing Portal via the touch controls on his Sony headphones. This release fixes this and we've also snuck in some Library improvements which will go live in the next few days that will help make navigation easier as our collections continue to grow...(in fact we have some exciting new portals in the wings - so keep your eyes peeled!) *Bug Fixes* - Play/pause functionality now works reliably across a range of headphones when Portal's running in the foreground. - Fixes an issue preventing lock screen audio controls from showing in certain circumstances. *Improvements* - Improved Library curation, making it easier for you to find & discover the perfect portal for whatever your mood, need or fancy. - Improved Library signposting, so you know what's new, updated and what's just around the corner. Thanks again Ingo and everyone else out there helping us improve Portal :) If there's anything bugging you or you have any feedback on the Library changes, please drop us a line at hello@portal.app

  • Download ‘Portal’ to Elevate Your Productivity with Immersive Audio!

    Portal delivers an immersive and user-friendly experience that truly sets it apart. The development team is not only friendly and personable but also incredibly responsive, ensuring users feel valued and heard. The app's unique and high-quality sounds are a standout feature, drawing one into its captivating world. The trial period provides ample opportunity to fully appreciate what a subscription has to offer.

    Two notable enhancements would be: 1. to expand the Spatial Audio compatibility to support more types of headphones. And 2. When returning to the library, keep whatever current sound you have to keep an immersive experience.

    With the promise of upcoming locations and experiences, Portal is poised to offer even more depth and excitement in future updates. Highly recommended for those seeking a premium audio-visual journey.

    Developer Response

    👋 Hi AveryYoungLife, Your kind words have absolutely made our day - thank you so so much! Honestly, it genuinely means the world to know that Portal's making such a positive difference in people's lives. And the fact that our focus on delivering the very best experience we can, both in-app and out, is coming across is simply amazing to hear. It gives us a deep sense of pride and at the same time is oh so incredibly motivating. It's feedback like yours (as well as those that are more negative) that help us know whether we're on the right path or whether we've strayed, so we are extremely grateful. Especially, as we conscious of the time and effort it takes to write reviews/emails etc. Turning to your suggested enhancements, we think you're spot on! We'd love to make the Library more of an integrated part of the auditory experience, so please know it's very much on our radar - we have a couple of ideas on what shape this might take, including as you suggest the uninterrupted continuation of the sound of the current portal... We've slated some time later in the year to have more of a play and experiment and hopefully arrive at something that hits the spot and adds to the experience, so please bear with us until then. With regards to supporting other headphones that support head-tracked Spatial Audio, this is high up on the wish list for sure. Technically, a little more tricky than we had initially thought, but one that we are very keen on broadening support for as soon as we can. As you mentioned, there's lots currently in the pipeline in addition to the above - including a stunning new collection of portals that we are currently in the midst of producing and putting together - so we hope you love it all when it eventually lands. That just leaves us to say a massive thank you for being in our corner, it's support and enthusiasm from people like you that really does make what we do possible. Many, many thanks, Stu, Andy, Nick & Tim - Team Portal.
  • Love it!

    Portal was great even BEFORE they added Homekit immersive lighting… Try it! Route the audio to your HomePods (or better yet, your AirPods), connect your HomeKit lights, pick an environment, set the volume to a comfortable level and go about your work, reading, relaxing, meditating, sleep or whatever. Before you know it, you’ll forget that you’re sitting in your office. If you need some kind of sound mask to let you sleep, they have that covered too - set the time you want to be awakened and your lights will gently fade on over time (you can choose how gradually and use an audio alarm when it’s time to start your day if you need it.) Great UI, high quality sound and visuals, thoughtful design, many environments and regular updates. Come on, give it a try… whaddya have to lose? Here’s hoping they add a version for Apple TV and AVP down the road as well…!
    ** edit ** Have I also mentioned their support is second to none? Real humans, real responses, no boilerplate nonsense. Can’t say enough good about the app or the devs!

    Developer Response

    Hi Left0verture!!! Thank you so very much - we absolutely love your enthusiasm for Portal and are over the moon to hear that you're loving our new HomeKit integration!!! The good news is we've got lots more planned (Apple TV included) to bring the immersive experience to a whole new level and we can't wait to share it with you and everyone else in the community! Follow us on Twitter/Instagram (@portal_labs) and we'll keep you in the loop of all our latest developments and content releases. Many thanks for your support and encouragement - it really does mean a lot to us, Nick.
  • Love this app!

    I don’t write reviews for things, but needed to share that this app is my favorite of all the apps I use. It is an essential part of my life now and should be hardcoded into my phone. I splurged on AirPods Max this year just for this app. I listen to different portals to go to sleep at night and when I have a tough project requiring focus or when I need extra help with migraine relief. This app and the various scenes are amazing in sound and visual quality. I like the increasing variety presented (I love the storms, fireside, and forest sounds the most, though the lava ones are a surprising new favorite), and look forward to more places and soundscapes and app versions in the future (Yule log? Seasonal forests? Night sounds/summer crickets? App for AppleTV?) Thanks to the developers for providing a beautiful and natural experience with almost no music, and for the little extras like the gentle alarms built into the timers that transition you from a focus/relaxation episode kindly. I highly recommend the app to everyone.

    Developer Response

    👋 Hi Jillybean619, Thank you so much for sharing your incredible feedback. The time and effort to do so is most definitely not lost on us and is massively appreciated 😊 We're so happy to hear that Portal's making such a profound and positive impact in so many aspects of your life. It's honestly what motivates us to do what we do and makes us proud that we're contributing to the world in such a positive way. And, please, there's absolutely no need to thank us - it's a joy to hear that Portal's bringing the magic of nature into people's homes. The good and super exciting news is we've got heaps more to come that'll look to continue to improve Portal's effectiveness by combining cutting edge research in the field of environmental psychology with the latest advances in immersive technology. Alongside that we've got planned loads more filming to capture portals from new and beautiful corners of the world...some of which you've touched on... On the Apple TV front, this is most definitely on the roadmap. Portal from the get go almost seemed destined to be best experienced on the bigger, higher resolutions screens! The good news is our Mac app is a step in that direction, helping us lay some important groundwork towards making that happen, if you haven't already done so check it out here: https://portal.app/mac). Not only have we totally redesigned Portal's UI to suit both macOS and tvOS (less touch-oriented than the iPhone & iPad), but we've also put in place all the back of house infrastructure to support streaming that is a necessity now that we can use up to 8K motion visuals on larger, high resolution displays (downloads which is how our iOS and iPadOS apps currently operate just wouldn't be feasible as the files would be far too large). What's more, we've transitioned to SwiftUI to set us up for better cross-platform support, including Apple TV and Vision Pro... In short, thankfully we're well placed to take things forward on the Apple TV front. As mentioned, we've still got a few surprises up our sleeve to take the Mac experience up a notch or two, and of course we're still a small indie team of four, so I'm afraid we don't currently have an exact date for when Apple TV will land, especially as Apple are very keen on us bringing Portal to the Vision Pro - but rest assured it's most definitely a 'when' rather than an 'if'. If you'd like to keep up-to-speed with our latest plans and releases, please do follow us on Instagram and/or X (Portal_Labs). Thanks again for your support, Stu, Andy, Nick & Tim - Team Portal.
