@abeykoshyitty Cheers Abey! We're having to focus on iOS only for now as we're a tiny team but we do hope we'll be able to release on Android eventually.
@abeykoshyitty Thanks so much for your support! Yeh it's hard being a small team isn't it - so many things you want to do but just so little time in the day!
@tommysilver Cheers Tommy, really appreciate it and so glad to hear the Hue integration's going down well. Lots more still to come on that side of things!

Wow. I'm immediately impressed! Really nice soundscapes and visuals - I can't wait to be able to try them out properly later. Also very happy by the 'One time fee' nature of the Premium functions. Top Class!
@colin_smith_ezchile_ Thanks so much Colin! Definitely let us know how it goes later and of course if you have any other feedback once you've used it for a bit longer!
@brettwill1025 Cheers Brett, hope you like it and any feedback just let me know.

As someone who finds ambient noise to be both productive and important to my mental health, I've tried a lot of apps out there and have been somewhat happy with them, but this has an extra touch and care that I've never seen in those. Absolutely love this and didn't think twice about paying for premium - Also I very much appreciate the one time payment.
Hi Product Hunters 👋
I'm really excited to share our app, Portal, with you today as we release V2 featuring a shiny new interface, Philips Hue and Siri shortcuts.
The app itself was inspired by my honeymoon where my wife and I spent several weeks camping around New Zealand in a tent. It was an amazing experience falling asleep and waking up in the most beautiful and isolated places and we were incredibly inspired by the beauty of the constantly changing environments.
When I got home to London the app started as a personal project to try to bring some of this experience home in a way I could use in my daily life, but it soon became obvious that it was something that others would enjoy too and I joined forces with my brother Tim to help launch the app publicly back in February 2019.
It's been a pretty crazy year - it was a slow start, but Apple ended up picking the app up for feature in the App Store which has culminated in us being featured as a demo in Apple Retail Stores over the holidays! We've also recently had our first major press, being named as one of the best apps for mindfulness by The Independent.
We hope you enjoy the app and would love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have.
Cheers,
Nick & Tim

I’ve been happily using Portal since it first came out beautiful in her face and lovely ambience I’m a fan
I started using Portal because I wanted really immersive nature sounds. I've grown up camping, hiking, and being in nature, and I wanted to be able to bring some of that to my everyday life. Portal delivers. Its sounds are high quality, and I use them when I working and when I need to de-stress. I don't use the sleep feature, but I think it makes sense. The UI is a little atypical, but the app is still easy to use, and it feels special. Money well spent.
Gorgeous, gorgeous UI! Portal makes me want to upgrade my monitor, that's just how beautiful it is. The number of "portals" to look at feels a bit limited though, I wish there was more variety
