Thanks for posting Bill!
Hi everyone, one of the developers here. We just launched our iPhone app today.
Foundbite allows you to capture and share the sounds of the world along with a photo to give them context. In the app you can also explore a map of the world and hear sounds other users have uploaded there!
Here's some examples of photos and sounds users have uploaded (made into video files so they can be embedded here):
You can also view some more on our home page! https://foundbite.co
Would love to hear your thoughts and get your feedback!

I didn't quite understand the "why" of the app, but after I checked out the examples I have to admit it's pretty cool! Something different.
@hazzajay thanks Hari. We hope we can make more people to be aware of the sounds of the world around them. Sound makes up a large part of our experiences and is really immersive, especially with some good headphones, so it's a shame people don't share and capture it more. Hope we can change that :)
I've known James for years and have been using Foundbite since it first came out on Windows Phone! Love this app and excited to get to use it on my iPhone now. Congrats James!
@samsabri thanks Sam, been a team effort and quite a long journey in startup terms :) glad to have you and quite a number of our old users back using the app!
Cool app. We called these "soundscapes" at my university, and there is a lot of rich contextual info in the sounds around us. I'm surprised this is the first time that I've seen an app like this - great work.
A few years ago when I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, I took short audio recordings along the way (i.e. "audio postcards" of things like storms, birds, and other elements of the journey). There's something really beautiful about capturing a time and place through sound. Cool product.
@thebent great to hear (pardon the pun) Ben. Through building Foundbite I've come to realise there's quite a few people that do versions of what your describing with Apple's voice notes or other apps - hopefully we can become the defacto to do that and introduce the concept to people who've never thought about sharing or capturing sound.
