User reviews

Very Basic

The app itself seems to be very polished and easy to navigate however there’s no real opportunity to connect with others besides going to events or seeing fans of places.

But the biggest thing is, despite the “craic” notes you can post, there’s no real review feature. There’s nothing worse than going to a self proclaimed “Irish” bar only for them to completely diminish our culture by serving black and tans, hanging up “Irish need not apply signs” and the owner forces a bad accent!
A review based feature can ensure the integrity of our culture abroad and show other Irish people where the real gems are, while avoiding the terrible places. While clicking in and seeing some of the notes, seeing star ratings would also be very beneficial.

Okay

It’s okay. It’s basically just a list of Irish bars in your locality, which you can easily do in Google maps.

GWAN the Irish

Awesome app for everything Irish in America , loads of info about everything going on in the Irish communities across the country of America.

Great app!

Love this app!

Hard to navigate

Not the easiest user friendly interface for an app. It’s like it’s all over the place. Confusing and frustrating. I love the idea of all encompassing, everything Irish website/app but someone seriously needs to improve this app.
