Very good app. Within 30 mins, I already can memorize and pronouns number from 1-10. Hopefully able to get a "loop" function, which repeat a same word or sentence over & over again to follow along, instead of tap screen to listen the pronouciation everytime.

Update: Sept. 15th 2019. Still crashes on my Note 8. Really disappointed that after nearly 2 years they still haven't fixed the issue. I really liked the app on my Note 4 but unfortunately it doesn't work on my Note 8 even after uninstalling and reinstalling.

If you decide to purchase the full upgrade for all languages, upload other languages from the menu in the app you purchased the full upgrade. On one app will appear on you screen. To switch languages, use the menu and select other languages. It is a great app. I hope the company continues to add and upgrade.

this is a very good app for learning thai vocabulary and practicing thai reading. unfortunately reading english sounds and finding the thai equivalent character doesnt work, there are too many duplicates in thai consonents and thai vowels are more complicated than english. you should be looking at the thai character first and then hearing and reading the sound.

A promising system let down by numerous bugs. Randomly stops working without wifi access, some audio clips simply don't play, and this is after a system breaking infinite loading bug was addressed. I would suggest not spending money on this like I did until when (or if) these problems are fixed.

This is fine if you're traveling as a tourist and want to learn words and phrases to get around. This is not teaching the Thai language however. There's no grammar, no structure, no teaching basic structural vocabulary like pronouns and common verbs so that you can construct sentences out of the vocabulary you learn. This is Rood memory of set phrases without understanding or teaching the words that construct those phrases.

This app is using a rote learning method. It attempts to teach you entire phrases rather than individual words that you can use to construct your own sentences. I don't find this useful, but maybe you will. On the plus side, the program works well without glitches and isn't full of ads.

I saw a comment that other languages are not as good if you pay. If you are only learning Thai like me, I can tell you this is one of the best language learning apps I have ever used. Thai will be my 5th language and I normally have my own way of learning, which makes me hate the way apps teach. There are some things in the app that an actual Thai either wouldn't use or say it slightly differently. However overall this is a very good app, which is set up in near enough the way I learn alone.5/5

I paid for the upgraded version with all the options. Since I have a new phone it seems now, I have only the basic app. I did send a message but had no reply. That was a while ago now. Would be nice to get back what I paid money for. Or least, reply to my message. Hence the 1 star review. ** I have not received your email. Please, can you send it? ***Still waiting for your email. Not very polite or professional, I must say.

this is really an amazing app... just what I need... but it would be more amazing if there is this option on the numbers category where we can cut specific item range like from 1 to 10 (only) and then we can keep playing that certain range without going up to thousands... just for a quicker and more effective way of memorizing thai numbers...

Recently I have bought this app for studying some Thai vocabulary. To be honest, I was disappointed with very humble number of words and phrases. I cannot even find such basic words like "yesterday", "expensive", "petrol", "science" and many many others. I found rather few verbs either. So, the idea of the app is nice, but the value for money is quite bad. I hope the developers will add more words and phrases anytime soon.

It'll be perfect if the developer can add a feature where we can listen to our favourite/saved Thai phrases with our screen off in repeated loops. That way we can listen to it without interacting with the screen and we can sort this list based on what we want to hear. Repetition has help me improved significantly but unfortunately i always need to tap the screen. Please kindly consider this feature! Nevertheless, this is an amazing app, i truly love it! Thank you!

Many good things in this app and the bad it shares with almost every thai language app. 1) Even though 80-90% of thai students are male, app has a fenale preference (chan instead of pom) 2) Words are not in correct order but the assumed meaning in English making it much harder to remember 3) No edit function of the above. Again, base functions ok and I will use it.

This is a great app for learning the basics but the developers really need to add the ability to sort your favourites instead of them being displayed in alphabetical order. Please please add this feature and I (and many others) would rate this app 5 stars. Would also be useful to add new custom phrases because the app is missing some critical phrases like "too expensive" or "very cheap".

I've tried many Thai Language apps and I believe this one is the best. The best for my purposes. I want to learn and reinforce conversation mainly. Common conversation and I want to pronounce better. This has it all - normal pronunciation speed that you can slow down. They also break apart sentences into individual words to recall easier. There are tests and flashcards too. For full access it is very affordable with a one time fee (I believe) of about $10 US.

I love it. It's just so perfect for me that it let me know the meaning of each and every words phrase by phrase. This is one of the best way to learn a new language. One thing I would like to request is that could you please add in many more content for this app? May be you can do something like level 1,2,3,4. You can charge a fees for each level by adding many more vocabs. Cuz I want to learn as much as I can from this. It would be the best if you can extend it up to advanced level.

Initially, the app has appeal. It's simple and functional, hence 2 stars. But there are several issues. 1. When I first got to Thailand I used this and quickly found out many phrases are wrong. 2. The free version has audio for every phrase. I bought the upgrade, but none, (and I repeat for emphasis) NONE of the added phrases included audio. I quickly got a refund. 3. Phrases have limited use. For short tourist trips it's fine, but not for learning the language. Not the best Thai language app
