Free iphone apps

Ireland Hidden Gems-lite is a new iphone app based on the this website which is new insiders travel guide to Ireland, written by myself Irishwoman Susan Byron, which now available as a free download here or from the app store at itunes. The iphone app is a 'lite' version of the website designed to give the viewer a small taster of the website which as you know features the Top 10 Visitor Attractions in many popular categories plus details of 10 other 'Hidden Gems' in the area that cant be found in any of the guidebooks....

Irelands Hidden Gems -lite iphone app

The website highlights only the very best :

Landscapes, Scenery & Antiquities

Sacred places, Country Houses & Castles

National Parks, Gardens and Cultural attractions

And is packed full of insider information like:

Where to stay? in a Lighthouses or Castle?

What to eat? a plate of Irish stew or Seafood

What to drink? How to tell a good pint of Guinness?

And a whole lot more besides including all the great free stuff there is to do Ireland !

was released earlier in March as an alternative to all the silly leprechaun rubbish apps that were out there which told the real story of St Pat,ricks Day in Ireland, the history behind it, how we actually celebrate it and some factual information about Ireland and our culture, including sport, music, dance, food and drink, with a bit of craic, of course! It reached the top 300 in 16 countries including 66th in the USA on the day itself.

My Dublin - city guide iphone app

is another free guide to Dublin and is my take on the city I was born and raised in. In a similar format to the website it outlines what I consider to be the Top 10 Attractions in Dublin plus of course the 10 other hidden gems in the locality that you wont find in any of the guidebooks which are often written by people who have never stood foot in this country never mind in Dublin, which is kind of obvious when you read stuff like 'Temple Bar very popular with the locals' really?

Ireland 50 Top Hotels 2010 iphone app

is a free guide for your iphone to choosing the best hotels in Ireland.
