Pros and cons of Get The Focal app for iPhone and iPad

Get The Focal app good for

As a writer and a beginning student of Irish, this app is just what I was looking for! The dictionary is extensive, and the audio is very helpful! Thanks!
This app is extremely helpful. Can you make it so that shaking will bring up a new word without needing to close the window? Its tedious to close it and re-shake every time I want a new random word. Id prefer to be able to simply shake again and have another random word show up.

Some bad moments

Online search doesnt work well, it will find the word or sentence but then you cant listen to it. Id give this a better rating if translated and pronounced sentences.
