## What is Nathán?

Seanfhocal Gaeilge atá i Nathán, ceann úr gach lá, agus a chuid focal measctha trína chéile. Brúigh na focail lena gcur san ord ceart, agus fosclóidh an nathán amach romhat: a chiall, agus an fáth a mbíodh sé ag daoine.

Do dhaoine fásta atá ag toiseacht ó thús a rinneadh é. Do stríoc féin amháin, má iarrann tú é. Sin é! Bain triail as má tá fonn ort; pill arís amárach.

Nathán (na-HAN): one Irish saying a day, scrambled into its words. Tap them into order, and the saying opens up: what it means, and why people said it.

Made for adults starting from nothing. Thirty seconds a day, no scores, no ads, nothing to lose. A streak, if you want one, and only if you sign in to keep it; otherwise nothing about your play leaves your own devices and your iCloud.

· More than three hundred sayings, drawn from across the tradition, with Ulster forms marked where they differ.
· Hear a saying spoken in Ulster Irish, on your phone or your wrist, with more voices to come.
· LEID gives you the meaning without ending the day; NOCHT shows the answer when a saying beats you.
· A placed word can be moved along the row, not sent back.
· Every button carries its Irish name; hold one to see the English.
· Share the day's meaning, or a picture of it, without spoiling the answer.
· Ask Siri for today's saying; find every saying you have played in Spotlight; widgets for the Home Screen and Lock Screen, and a Control Centre button.
· Made for iPhone Duo: folded, Nathán fits the small screen; open, the saying and the words take a page each.
· Play the day's saying on Apple Watch, word by word, or on your phone. Solve it on either and it's solved on both, with the saying on your wrist and your watch face.
· See a saying together on Apple TV: the words settle into place, then the meaning, the note and the voice, one press of the remote at a time.
· Have a saying of your own? Send it in from the app. Every one is read before it joins the collection.

Ulster forms throughout, never a flattened standard. The name is set in Nuachló, an Irish typeface from Gaelchló.

Is é Feirste a dhéanann Nathán, i mBéal Feirste, in Éirinn.
Nathán is made by Feirste, in Belfast, Ireland.
