Give this app a pass; ‘waste of time, unless you like ads…. If you want their news, just go to their webpage (thethaiger.com): it actually works. ### 5/5 — App Not Loading *2026-07-15, version 2.2.0* App not loading here in UK for 3 days now. Tried to report the issue but could find no options, so having to do so here. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-07-14, version 2.2.0* When opening app, it gets stuck on page with no content and a Thaiger image. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2025-05-25, version 2.2.0* App crashes after a few minutes every time. The few minutes it works you are bombarded with ad’s. It’s a shame because it has potential. ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2024-10-03, version 2.2.0* It’s a great source for Thai news but the amount of ads are a distraction. An ad to start the app, ads after ads (video ones at that which can’t be paused) while scrolling the articles. Then after one or two reads a big ad covers the screen. Yeah I get the app is free but don’t make it annoying ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-10-07, version 2.2.0* I cannot open and use it after the recent update ### 1/5 — Forced sign up is not cool *2023-08-13, version 2.1.9* I do not want to use this app anymore when I am being forced to hand over my data to you when accessing content. I click on your privacy and TOC and it’s full of Loren ipsum filler text! Just how exactly are you making money from our personal data?! To me it’s just treating us like we are imbecile luddites who will throw away our valuable personal data without a thought. Do better. I understand the Thaiger have really been aggressively monetising their content recently but I would advise management to keep your users in mind of your priorities. You already spam us with so many ads that it’s amazing you get a google ranking from your page quality efforts (e.g google EAT). There are still many options for us to get news content out there, especially from social media. Why don’t you talk to thai government and do what Rupert Murdock did and force social media to pay to repost your original news content? Just like Australia did. Maybe that’s a better way to monetise your content without annoying your users. ### 1/5 — Terrible layout *2023-06-22, version 2.1.17* After reading the story of the ghost building in pattaya being demolished. It hasn’t. I’m staring at it now. I then assume that many stories could just be fake news. ### 2/5 — Junk Journalism *2023-06-17, version 2.1.17* This web publication plagiarizes legitimate news sources, and is extremely inappropriate for 9+. Its target demographics are focused on male foreigner’s (farangs) transfixed on tragedy and sex trade, murder, rape, scams… It is absolutely inappropriate for underaged children. Please evaluate and reclassify age appropriateness. Since you have been notified, you too can be held liable for facilitating plagiarism, inappropriate classification and access to the material. I expect a response and actions taken. ### 3/5 — Underwhelming update *2023-06-14, version 2.1.17* Good source of Thai news, although some of the articles seem like sponsored advertisements - without being demarcated as such. The app has too many adverts. And the recent update and re-design is underwhelming and seems to be a regression. You can’t do basic things any more like copy and paste or search for articles. The website version is better. ## Frequently asked questions about Thaiger ### What does The Thaiger app offer?
