Awful English

The number of English spelling errors are so many and so egregious, one wonders whether the complete lack of professionalism affects the Thai part.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. I re-wrote everything. Can you update it and try again?

Great learning tool

This app is the reason I was able to learn the alphabet and basic tone rules. Breaking it down to learn in manageable chunks and being able to practice over and over is just what I needed. Thank you for this app!

Fantastic

Iโ€™ve been trying to learn the Thai tones for a while now with no joy. I now know the tones, thanks to this app and its tone quiz. Iโ€™m yet to find another app that can do this. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Ok but immature

App is not bad for free and has some useful testing. I have a sense of humor but app actually makes a silly joke at the end of each test that asks if you just farted. Pretty silly.

Great app not worth the monthly subscription

The app was a handy go to tool but with out warning the developer added a monthly subscription for virtually no added improvements. I would pay a one time fee for the use of the app but a $3 monthly charge is ridiculous

Missing letters

The app does not include all of the low consonants. There is part 1 and 2 but I have 8 characters left not included. Iโ€™ve been told that these are still in use by a Thai. Has part 3 been missed from the app? Iโ€™ve just paid to upgrade so a bit confused!

Response from developer

It's intentional. Thank you very much for using Thai Reading and for your valuable comment. And I apologize for the confusion. As explained a bit in Step 1, I have picked 33 commonly used Thai consonants out of 44. The reason is that these are the most commonly used consonants that deserve repetitive reading practices. The rest of 10 consonants are used but not used as often and in fact it can be confusing to learners because these are similar to others too. And since they are used with only certain words, it's more efficient to remember by the words(with pronunciation too), rather than practicing over and over. After a discussion with a Thai teacher, I made a decision to exclude them from the quiz. However, it's not clearly stated on the app and there should be at least explanation that which characters are excluded from the quiz. I will consider adding a slide. Again, I'm sorry for making you confused. If you wish, please go to the bottom of the app page on App store, tap report a problem, ask for refund. (Developer cannot refund directly by Apple)

I have finished 4 trophies, no bugs so far. I recommend it for anyone who has learned the Thai alphabet, vowels, and tones a bit on their own and want to use this app to extend their learning. This app is my favorite at the moment.

Audio doesnโ€™t work

Layout of the app is great but when i hit โ€œplayโ€ to hear the sound I hear no sound, seems the sound is broken. This is on a brand new iphone se running ios 16.1

No sound

It was great until the sound stopped working.

Great app

Great app but sounds do not play on my iPhone 12
