some suggestions

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.

The best Thai dictionary

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!

Excellent

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

Excellent Resource for Thai Studies

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.

Top translation app.

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.

Extremely Helpful

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!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words. Happy you find this resource useful!

Best app for leaners

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

ขอบคุณที่ให้กำลังใจครับ 🙏

Absolutely fantastic. Best free app ever!

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.

Excellent

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

Best app anyone has made for Thai language

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.

Response from developer

Thank you, happy to hear that the design and functionality appeals to you 🙏

Confusing search results

Search results not accurate. Look for go and you get gold. Look for come and you get to go down. Look for electricity and you get Volt! Likewise look for มา and you get มาก Totally confuses me when learning Thai. Apart from that the content is good. Really unfortunate that you have to go through 4,329 results MANUALLY to find the meaning of มา ...

Very helpful

I find this app very helpful to my Thai studies. It has a plethora of vocabulary and the categories make it easy to find groups of words.

One thing that would make the app easier to use is if the “bookmark function” wasn’t as inaccessible. An app called ‘Imiwa?’ Which is a Japanese-English dictionary has a really good example of the quick bookmark function. If the star or bookmark function was available when on that word, it would make the app easier to use for studying.

The best Thai-English app I’ve found

Very comprehensive and usable Thai dictionary app, highly recommended.
My only issue is that sometimes it can be really hard to find words when searching by transcription, you have to use particular letter combinations that represent the way specific phonetic alphabets work, rather than simple intuitive spelling, which can be tedious and tricky. Also, the search results are often presented in a very strange order, with the simple and obvious results buried way down below many complex and often irrelevant words and sentences. Other than these annoying quirks, this is a 5 star app.

Was good but no longer open

It’s a good app with lots of examples.

But somehow it no longer works and hangs on the splash screen.

Stopped working — hangs at startup

This app was five star but recently it has stopped working. It hangs on the splash screen at startup and has to be force-quit.

This happens on phones of other family members (XS Pro Max) also so it’s not specific to my phone (11 Pro Max).

EDIT: uninstalling and reinstalling fixed it. Updated review to five stars.

very confusing to me

it seems like every word i use with my thai wife is incorrect in its definition with this app. i’m not sure why but it is very frustrating.

Response from developer

You raise a fair point. This dictionary aims to be comprehensive, and does include a great deal of seldomly used and archaic expressions. For Thai-English translation, you will find many possible senses of a Thai term in English. When it comes to English-Thai translation, it can be difficult to know which of the possible Thai terms is in fact commonly used.

What is the problem?

I have had it for months. This is the only app that always says " unable to download " every time I try to update! I have deleted and re-installed but no use.

Response from developer

Dear Fred. Please try downloading the latest version 🙏

wonderful translation/dictionary app, wish i could draw out letters

amazing translation app. my only wish is that i had the option to type by drawing the letters themselves on the screen and have them turn into letters instead of going on the keyboard because as a new thai learner it’s easier for me to draw the letters and vowels out than to find it on the keyboard.

Great app. Gives tones for English speakers.

This is the only dictionary app I’ve found that includes the romanized spelling of Thai words along with the tone so that you can look up how a word is pronounced 👌🏻👌🏻

Highly useful

Highly useful if you are a non-Thai speaker. Just find a word in English and the dictionary reveals exactly what you mean in Thai.

Works the other way round too.
