### 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.

### 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 !

### 2/5 — Consonnes gratuites - consonants only are free

*2019-07-11, version 2.3*

Bonne appli mais gratuite sur les consonnes uniquement

### 2/5 — Add-ons didn’t download

*2019-05-16, version 2.3*

Paid for four extra add-ons, but they don’t work.

### 3/5 — Quiz

*2019-02-28, version 2.3*

Quiz doesn’t work ,No answer to select

### 4/5 — Sehr hilfreich!

*2019-02-23, version 2.3*

Die App ist eine tolle Ergänzung für Diejenigen, die Thai-Schrift lesen lernen wollen. Zahlreiche hilfreiche Hinweise helfen wirklich weiter. Das Quiz zur Überprüfung des Gelernten ist eine gute Idee, könnte aber noch besser gestaltet werden.

### 3/5 — Just one problem

*2018-12-13, version 2.2*

The app is brilliant easy to use and I am quickly learning the Thai alphabet supported by one of the age2+ books from the supermarket.
Just one problem and that is that the sound function works perfectly well on my iPhone but not on my iPad 
Top tip buy the paid version as you are going to have to pay for the second session onwards with the free version

### 3/5 — Can’t hear audio

*2018-09-29, version 2.2*

At first we thought the audio didn’t work at all, then during a quiet moment I just realized it was VERY quiet, even with the volume as high as it could go.

### 4/5 — Comprehensive and logical

*2017-11-21, version 2.2*

This is one of the better apps i have come across. The lessons are broken down into units. The study notes are invaluable. Many apps go through the alphabet but this app actually explains things thoroughly. My only feedback would be to have the option to change the background colour as it can strain the eyes in the wrong light. And to add the ability to play pronunciation/sounds during the quiz.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2017-11-08, version 2.2*

In my opinion one of the most profound learning thai reading applications. A lot of background and explaining information. you can start easily and with the in app purchases you can go much further than you thought possible. 
In give four stars only because the quiz part is quite stupid: it repeats letters up to four times in a row while others don’t show up at all within one quiz. That gives me no real feedback about my skills. Also I wish it would remember the letters that I am still getting wrong and show those more often. So there is room to improve here.

### 2/5 — I think it's a great app but...

*2017-10-29, version 2.2*

I just purchased lesson 7 and on the quiz some don't display anything no words no nothing.

### 4/5 — Great App for beginners!!

*2017-05-05, version 2.2*

Good example sentences with native pronunciation let us study Thai grammar.

### 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

### 1/5 — Mai Dee!!

*2019-11-26, version 2.3*

### 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

### 5/5 — I love it.

*2019-08-03, version 2.3*

It helps me to learn and recognize Thai alphabet and words. It’s handy because it comes with English translation

### 5/5 — Not happy

*2019-06-29, version 2.3*

Many questions and answers missing from quiz section very annoying

### 5/5 — One of the very few really serious ones

*2019-01-29, version 2.2*

Consonants but also with their 3 classifications.
The vowels... with the diphthongs, the tones marks the tones rules, the letters combinations rules. Plus 25 reading sentences lessons. The programmers of this App do not think we are all completely stupid and just want to know a few Thai letters to boast wit our friends. It is a serious App to ... try, lol ... to learn Thai for real. Most Apps, yes most said I, show you only the 44 consonants, not a word about the 32vowels.  Is it not completely ridiculous to learn only the consonants of any language? I have an App bought on App store very good with native voices, 100 lessons, so with many words and phrases I like it, but some times the answer is by choosing the right word... written in Thai. One of the lesson is called Alphabet... there is only the consonants... could you believe it! So if you want to learn to read Thai you can go for this one confidently.

### 5/5 — Issue with volume

*2018-10-22, version 2.2*

Nice enough app but cannot control the volume.

### 5/5 — タイのアルファベット

*2018-10-14, version 2.2*

タイのアルファベットは44文字あり、その内2文字は使われていません。主にそのアルファベットを覚える為のアプリです。このアプリはとても役に立ちますが、少し英語ができないと困るでしょう。

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-07-07, version 2.2*

Simple & easy understand, with quiz to test is very good

### 5/5 — Beggars can't be choosy

*2017-10-20, version 2.2*

I'm learning the Thai alphabet for free. Even if only part of the app is available for free, I'm getting a good start for absolutely nothing. I can't believe people have the audacity to complain about an educational resource offering a large portion of information for free. I'm probably going to buy the next parts because this app is the best I have experienced. Worth it

### 5/5 — Tres bien

*2017-04-16, version 2.2*

Tres bonne appli tres complete  parfait
