Apps are replacing traditional guidebooks quickly. And why wouldn't they? They are quick, lighter to carry and have great interactive features- attributes a book just can't fulfill. The latest app to make its' mark is Ireland: Are We There Yet written by former film producer, location scout, tour-bus guide, blogger, teacher and now mother of two, Ann Brehony.
As you can see, it's a gorgeous app. Listings are available by county or alphabetically and include fun tales, games and even free play areas. While the app is aimed at kids, adults will find it just as helpful and enjoyable. Sure, you may not need the play areas, but who doesn't love a sweet shop? If you plan to take the kids to Ireland this app would be $2.99 well spent. Currently only available for iPhone and iPad.
