### 5/5 — some suggestions

*2026-07-17, version 4.4*

This is my favorite free thai dictionary app. I use it every day. Very useful. I’d really appreciate it if you could add a feature that allow users to search their bookmarked words so they can find them more easily. Alternatively, it would be helpful if bookmarks could be listed in chronological order.

### 5/5 — The best Thai dictionary

*2026-05-26, version 4.4*

I’ve been quietly using this and thai-language.com for decades now as one of the best and most comprehensive Thai resources on the internet. And it’s free!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-04-29, version 4.4*

By far the best app out there for Thai-English translation.

### 5/5 — Excellent Resource for Thai Studies

*2026-01-07, version 4.3*

I used this app constantly while learning the Thai language. Not only is this app easy to use, but also provides good cultural insights into the language.

### 5/5 — Top translation app.

*2025-10-29, version 4.3*

No complaints. Only praise. For some stupid reason, Apple makes it very difficult to find 80% of the content on the App Store. Things are great for the stupid social apps by the Big Players, but good “unusual” apps, seem to be lost in the dark corners of App Forest. This is one of those apps. I sometimes spend hours looking for good apps, and they’re always buried deep. But, when you find one like this, I feel that the time is well spent. The problem is, most people are too lazy to look.

Anyway… I’m not good with learning new languages, especially Thai. This superb product always helps when I need it. Always !!

“No Data Collected”, is also nice to see.

Good luck with your app development. Thank you for making my life in Thailand a little bit easier.

Now, if you’ll come to the village where I live, and shoot the chickens that wake me up at 3AM, that would be great.

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful

*2025-05-08, version 4.2*

I use this more than any other Thai language resource, except maybe ChatGPT. It is perfect for building vocabulary because of its attention to detail (like pitch) and word relationships. Thank you for making it!

### 5/5 — Best app for leaners

*2025-02-06, version 4.1*

This is the app you want if you’re learning Thai. Wonderful UI and I love how they have related words and examples for words that we may find confusing to use grammatically at first like กำลัง

### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic. Best free app ever!

*2025-01-31, version 4.1*

One of the best apps I’ve ever downloaded. Latin alphabet transcriptions are done very well, better than Google Translate (Apple Translate doesn’t even do them). I love the depth of explaining components of words, explaining words we don’t have an equivalent for eg ครับ (kráp) and that you can type how Thai sounds, if you can’t write it eg ‘sawatdeekrap’. This app has been invaluable to me and I can’t believe it is totally free. I have been using the App Store for 14 years and this is the best free, third-party app I have ever downloaded. Highly recommended for anyone learning (Central) Thai. My only complaint is that I can’t give it 6 stars.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-07-24, version 4.1*

By far the best app out there for Thai-English translation.

### 5/5 — Best app anyone has made for Thai language

*2024-05-03, version 4.1*

Easily the best and most honorable app to help with learning or understanding the language. The layout is perfect and simple with examples. Thank you so much for this app.
