{"game_intel_data":{},"featured_reviews":[{"content":"Yes, indeed, this is an excellent app! I only purchased it yesterday and I’ve already done a few lessons. I have to say, it has brought back a lot of memories — some good, and some that I had very successfully buried! 😂\n\nWhen I was younger, I studied Irish up to the Intermediate Certificate, but I can’t say I was exactly passionate about it. In fact, when it came to Gaeilge in school, I was probably more interested in finding out when the class was finished than in learning what “Cén t-am é?” actually meant! 😂\n\nMy memories of learning Irish weren’t the best, but this app has completely changed that. It’s very friendly, enjoyable and easy to follow, and somehow it makes Gaeilge seem much less frightening than it did all those years ago.\n\nSo, after all these years, I’m back learning Irish again. Better late than never! Hopefully, I’ll keep practising and, before too long, I might even be able to have a decent conversation as Gaeilge — although I’m not making any promises! 😂\n\nI would highly recommend this app to anyone who learned Irish years ago and would like to give it another go.\n\nGo n-éirí an bóthar liom! ☘️🇮🇪😂","version":"1.0.3","date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00Z","rating":5,"app_id":6796777994,"username":"Snagglepuss 007","title":"Terry","country":"IE","tags":["content","service"],"review_id":14549405874},{"content":"I’ve really enjoyed getting set up on the app. The initial process is very smooth and clear. \n\nAlthough I set my level to intermediate, I was surprised to see ‘saying hello’ and ‘asking how you are’ as two lessons to begin. So I decided to go into the role plays to give them a shot. Better, as I can choose more to my level. But it did miss my accent a few times, asking me to try again, even when I spoke more clearly it said I was wrong on one sentence. The strange part was that it had translated my words correctly and still said it was wrong, the only thing that was missing was a comma.\n\nI would say for ease of use, if the responses are slightly off (by one word or letter for example) it should offer the fix, then move on without the repetition of the same sentence. I would keep doing the same role play and learn from it then. Otherwise it felt slow. \n\nPrice wise, €99 for the year isn’t bad - it’s on the cusp of what I’d pay for an app but comparing to Duo lingo which is €89 per year, I can see some people not wanting to pay that. I know Irish on Duo is terrible but that’s the comparison many will make in my view. \n\nNonetheless, I’ve been looking for a way to practice my spoken Irish again - I was fluent leaving school but have gotten rusty and I really see this working. \n\nMaybe I’m not seeing the option to increase the level of Irish and of course I understand the limitations of any voice recognition software to an Irish accent! \n\nThanks for creating this and being a voice for the Irish language!","version":"1.0.5","date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00Z","rating":3,"app_id":6796777994,"username":"Tedcampbellire","title":"Good but needs some work","country":"IE","tags":["login","performance_and_bugs","feature_requests","pricing","service"],"review_id":14561073805},{"content":"I stayed in higher level Irish for years purely because I could read and write it but I was never comfortable speaking it. Which is shocking considering that’s what a language is for. Downloaded the app to improve my pronunciation and feel more comfortable with the cupla focal. I mostly used them to the dog but hoping to upgrade to humans soon. My aim is to go to an Irish language coffee morning someday soon. I think this app is fantastic for learning useful phrases that you can actually use in your day to day. I was most impressed by the conversation feature, it makes me so much more confident.","version":"1.0.8","date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00Z","rating":5,"app_id":6796777994,"username":"MoDhuine","title":"Higher level Irish but could never speak it","country":"IE","tags":["service","content"],"review_id":14595024157}],"related_apps":[{"app_id":869408172,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/sing-fu-chan/app/irish-english-dictionary/869408172/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/61/1c/46/611c4605-4dc8-b90c-02b3-b24c920566ca/AppIcon-0-0-1x_U007emarketing-0-8-0-85-220.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Irish English Dictionary +","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":799399521,"publisher_name":"Sing Fu Chan","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/799399521","rating":3.089285714285714,"rating_breakdown":[23,2,2,5,24],"rating_count":56},{"app_id":6472727218,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/bnr-languages-inc/app/learn-irish-beginners/6472727218/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/70/b8/02/70b80284-9b03-1513-4432-f1ad9b69e121/AppIcon-0-0-1x_U007emarketing-0-8-0-85-220.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Learn Irish (Beginners)","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":1622487401,"publisher_name":"BNR LANGUAGES INC.","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/1622487401","rating":4.4375,"rating_breakdown":[1,0,1,3,11],"rating_count":16},{"app_id":6450720725,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/fb-publishing-llc/app/irish-english-dictionary/6450720725/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple126/v4/f2/02/4b/f2024b8c-c1ee-7739-2eac-3b4ddff19829/AppIcon-0-1x_U007epad-0-85-220-0.jpeg/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Irish-English Dictionary","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":363781200,"publisher_name":"FB PUBLISHING LLC","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/363781200","rating":4.590909090909091,"rating_breakdown":[0,0,2,5,15],"rating_count":22},{"app_id":1620596422,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/ali-umer/app/learn-irish-phrases-words/1620596422/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/bd/57/c7/bd57c70f-d12b-b8bd-b22f-fc8ff429d73a/AppIcon-0-0-1x_U007emarketing-0-11-0-85-220.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Learn Irish Phrases & Words","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":1584417594,"publisher_name":"Ali Umer","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/1584417594","rating":2.833333333333333,"rating_breakdown":[6,0,0,2,4],"rating_count":12},{"app_id":6786827726,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/shane-hamilton/app/madra-teanga/6786827726/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/f0/0e/a2/f00ea283-4917-5301-8f9b-ecb556664171/AppIcon-0-0-1x_U007emarketing-0-8-0-85-220.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Madra Teanga","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":1808545184,"publisher_name":"Shane Hamilton","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/1808545184","rating":5.0,"rating_breakdown":[0,0,0,0,1],"rating_count":1},{"app_id":6445864488,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/ali-hassan/app/irish-learning-for-beginners/6445864488/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple211/v4/6c/40/c4/6c40c411-9fa9-ebe2-fe62-29e090715aea/AppIcon-0-0-1x_U007emarketing-0-11-0-85-220.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Irish Learning For Beginners","os":"ios","price":{"currency":"EUR","value":0,"string_value":"€0,00","subunit_to_unit":100},"publisher_id":1669096087,"publisher_name":"Ali Hassan","publisher_profile_url":"/publisher/ios/1669096087","rating":4.181818181818182,"rating_breakdown":[2,0,0,1,8],"rating_count":11},{"app_id":6742365728,"app_view_url":"/ios/ie/nguyen-thi-ngoc-hang/app/irish-listening-speaking/6742365728/","country":"IE","icon_url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Purple221/v4/c4/2e/75/c42e75fd-0004-c662-af6e-bb947ad6b4eb/AppIcon-1x_U007emarketing-0-11-0-85-220-0.png/150x150bb.jpg","name":"Irish -
