'Mainistir Eimhín' became 'Monasterevin'. Tír an Iúir became 'Terenure'. Cionn tSáile became 'Kinsale'. Thousands of names stripped of meaning, replaced with English inventions that carry nothing. We never restored them. Baile Beo does. Across Ireland, towns, villages, and landscapes have long had a local identity. These names described the land itself — its geography, history, ecology, mythology, characters, and memories. Through colonisation and anglicisation, mirroring the decline of the Irish language itself, these logainmneacha (place names) were largely pushed aside and forgotten by most people who pass through them every day. The Irish language is experiencing a remarkable revival. With it comes a growing movement of people reclaiming the names that were taken — learning what they mean, where they come from, and what they say about the land beneath them. Baile Beo is built for that. FEATURES • Journey Mode — turn it on and discover the history of every town you drive through, in real time. Ancient names, myths, monasteries, and stories stretching back thousands of years. • 60,000 Irish place names alongside their English forms • Name meanings and origins, rooted in history and geography • Detailed place histories — from early legend to recorded history • Ancient monuments — ring forts, round towers, megalithic tombs, crannógs • Explore by map or by county • Save favourite places and build your own collection WHY BAILE BEO? Irish place names are more than arbitrary labels — they are records of how people understood their locality and the land. Mainistir Eimhín means 'Saint Evin's Monastery'. Cnoc na Cásca means 'the hill of Easter'. Leaca na Nóiníní means 'the hillside abounding in daisies'. Every name carries a world. Whether you're fluent in Irish or a foghlaimeoir, Baile Beo puts the real names of Ireland back in your hands. Every town has a story. ## Baile Beo Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/db/ce/13/dbce139a-a8f0-967b-cd94-b8e05f04e346/IMG_0020.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/4c/6e/e3/4c6ee3a2-b00d-ec45-8e5e-e91d082cd6a3/IMG_0023.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/f2/40/8b/f2408b9e-1241-0062-8520-7d9774d3edc0/IMG_0019.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/aa/3d/ad/aa3dad42-6868-a205-80f9-83a5b9e71aec/IMG_0024.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/ef/f4/f5/eff4f530-904c-c2df-143c-dbcc1cd27d63/IMG_0026.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/ca/b5/35/cab53583-4565-f7c8-d83e-d6a4a803a893/IMG_0027.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/84/e4/e8/84e4e83c-ffb3-2c3e-042e-7bbb6290faee/IMG_0021.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/4a/3d/ab/4a3dab39-094e-6c5f-2cd7-de725c8f95c9/IMG_0025.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/2f/2a/43/2f2a433e-e698-9e64-9336-fcda9dcd689e/IMG_0028.PNG/1242x2688.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/f0/d0/19/f0d019fd-411c-1ebb-0d73-58f82e0b9356/IMG_0029.PNG/1242x2688.png) ## Baile Beo Rating Breakdown in Ireland - 5 stars: 9 (82%) - 4 stars: 1 (9%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 stars: 1 (9%) ## Baile Beo Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | Ireland | Lifestyle | #25 | | Top Free | Ireland | Overall | #247 | ## Baile Beo Available In - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/baile-beo-jsqz/ireland) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/baile-beo-jsqz/united-states) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
