    After 3 months of preparations for the Round Ireland Yacht Race we're ready to set sail!

    Mark Pollock and Mick Liddy on the Team Daft Yacht, along with 37 others boats, will depart Wicklow Bay this Sunday (20th June) at 12 noon!

    The race is a 1,400km clockwise loop of Ireland and I hope that many of you will link into the GPS Tracker on the boat to follow the race progress.

    Keep an eye out for us!

  • Daft.ie iPhone App - Update

    By , Posted at 8:30 am, June 3, 2010 in Technology.

    We have just released an update to the widely popular Daft.ie iPhone App which is now available in the app store. Download it here >

    Based on your feedback we have implemented the most commonly requested features:

    • Improved Stability:
      We have worked hard on reducing the memory footprint (ie the main cause of crashes) for photo browsing and users should see a huge improvement in this area. We have also got the app working efficiently on iPhone OS 3.0 and above which should increase the number of people able to download the app.

    • MyDaft Integration:
      Users can now login to their mydaft account directly from their phone. Favourite searches and ads will automatically synch with the website. We are currently working on extending this integration to include renewing ads, deactivating/reactivating ads and adding photos to ads directly from your phone.

    • Advanced Search:
      Users can now click the advanced button in the search form page and get access to more search options to really refine down their search to find their perfect home

    • New Search Categories:
      We have added both parking space search and new homes search



    Over 32,000 people have already downloaded the app since January and we are averaging just over 5 million page views a month which is about 4% the usage of the main Daft.ie website. In addition, we are now generating 4,000 phone calls a month and 2,000 emails for our advertisers from users of the app.

    If you don't already have the app, here's the link to download it from itunes:
