There are thought to be 160 discovery points as well as 150 “hidden gems” which are tips sourced from locals themselves. With the “hidden gems” feature people taking a trip to Ireland will be notified with an alert when one is nearby. Most importantly the app lets you search by geo-location visitors are kept up to date on what is happening nearby right at that very moment.
