User Reviews

Portal delivers immersive nature visuals and Spatial Audio great for focus, sleep, and relaxation, with a broad library of environments and solid customer support. The main downsides are price and paywalls guarding much of the content, which many reviewers feel makes the app less accessible. Some also mention a lack of frequent updates. Overall, it’s a premium, highly immersive tool that requires a sizable investment to access the full experience.

Pros

Immersive visuals with high-quality 4K+ video featuring real-world environments
Spatial Audio provides a highly immersive experience, especially with headphones
Versatile use for focus, study, sleep and relaxation with timers, alarms, and related features
Extensive library of high-quality sounds and environments
Strong customer support and responsive team

Cons

Pricing is expensive, with monthly/yearly/lifetime options that many users find prohibitive
Many sounds are locked behind a paywall, limiting free access
Perceived lack of frequent updates or new content

I love this app and have been using it for years. I don’t think I’ve ever found any other app with comparable audio quality and ofc the visuals are second to none. Youtube does offer mixes of similar quality, but those are prepackaged and often repeated ad nauseum until you’re sick of the same ‘crashing waves asmr’ sound. These mixes help me sleep, help me work and help me feel better broadly. I’ve spent MANY a busy work shift with these playing in my ear and without it I’m sure I’d only be half as useful to my team lol. With all that said, only in the last month have I actually paid for a subscription. Previously the full app was like, 300 dollars for a lifetime account and the annual was 100-200 dollars or some other ludicrous number. Even the monthly was 50-90 dollars or something, and for all the love I had from this app I could never in good faith pay for that. I was tempted on multiple occasions to pay the whatever the hell and be done, but it actually felt sacrilegious to give 3 digits to a asmr machine when Youtube was (terrible) free. It seems the Dev team has come to see reason and changed their price with the new subscription price being 100 for a lifetime account and 30 for an annual subscription. If they’d caught me even a week earlier with my new paycheck sitting in my account, I’d have gotten the lifetime account. They didn’t so I only have the annual account for now (a safe choice, if I decide to suddenly stop using it almost 8 years in lol) but I love getting to listen to more then 4 mixes. It’s honestly been a bit overwhelming hahaha. Anyway, I love the app! Only thing keeping me from giving a full 5 stars is just that the selection is a bit repetitive (each perfect, but repetitive) and I’d like a bit of variety in the sounds offered (underwater mix, crowd mix, farm mix, horses on a road etc etc). I hope the team can travel and take in more locations and countries, I’d personally request one that’s on the outskirts of a city or something, hearing the life of the people in whatever little European village but not actually drenched in noise. But, digressing. If you read all this, get the app.

I like the app so much, I bought lifetime. But…. It’s been at least a year since any update. I’d like to see more environments done. I know this takes time, but an additional few places would be great!!
