I'm trying to compile a list of Irish language phone apps for a blog post, but can only think of two off the top of my head: Enjoy Irish! and Collins Dictionary. I'm sure there are people here who are more app-savvy than I. Please, if you would, share with me (and with all of us) any Irish apps you know of that are particularly useful or entertaining.

GRMA,

Redwolf

On my iPhone I have 'uTalk' which is different from the one Breandán mentioned. Also 'Greann Gaeilge' which has verb conjugation and prepositional pronouns and verb tenses.

I've got

"Cúla Caint" as well as "Irish Radios"

Cúla is really super basic and not very good but the Radio app is pretty good, it's not all irish all the time, but there is some decent amount. :)
