### 4/5 — Recommend! Simple + functional

*2024-02-13, version 2.3*

It isn’t a ‘perfect’ app, but it is really good. I recommend it. It’s helped me loads in my reading, writing and pronunciation. Easy to use, not too expensive, and effective.

### 4/5 — Very good app to Learn Reading

*2022-09-21, version 2.3*

The app is very helpful and completely worth the price. 
I hope the developers will add a voice which speaks the answers as well, so it could even more improve the learning benefit.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-02-05, version 2.3*

Excellent app!!

### 5/5 — 좋은 앱입니다

*2021-01-28, version 2.3*

어렵지만, 반복학습을 잘 도와주는 앱이에요

### 1/5 — Bit ordinary

*2021-01-21, version 2.3*

Quiz doesn’t work properly 
Looks like this app was put together in a rush without checking it’s functionality before publishing 
Also Thai spelling errors 
Please fix up non functioning parts
Very disappointed to pay for an app not working properly

### 1/5 — Ayuda

*2020-06-30, version 2.3*

Compré el Paso 7 y el 10 pero cuando le doy play para escuchar la frase, no se escucha nada

### 3/5 — Audio problem

*2020-04-21, version 2.3*

I like this apps but I have problem with audio playback from the lesson one on wards, anyone can help me please ??
I have purchased it. Cheers please developer , contact me

### 4/5 — Pretty neat, few issues

*2020-03-21, version 2.3*

Pretty cool app, but ive found its missing the letters ฤ and ฦ ? Is there a reason for that or nah? Those letters are on the thai keyboard on my phone. It would be neat if the quiz section also played pronunciation and showed the initial and final sound, like in the learning section. 

But besides all that super helpful app!

### 2/5 — Good potential but app has bug

*2019-12-05, version 2.3*

Spelling of  ฉิ่ง.  Is missing the tone mark  - spelling error

Module 7 - fails.in quiz... after qu 5 no more questions ( should be 25)...  no means of contacting supplier to refund $ or to fix... support?.

Manny quiz questions have no question.. and no answers for others..   an incomplete package

No audio on vowel quiz. ( how can you check ! ?

App needs much development, but has good potential.

I recommend use the free section, but I suspect, based on read write section, (7); money not worth the spend.

Good for theory on alphabet and vowels.  bUT no audio on quiz
i baught some modules - can not acces via ipad - ie does not share purchase with my phone and pad ... i am stuck wuth some modules on phone - others on pad ... program needs many fixes !

### 1/5 — Mai Dee!!

*2019-11-26, version 2.3*

Costs too much!
