Obviously programmer not interested in fixing bugs. Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Great Idea Poorly Executed *2015-09-13* Worked great after initial install but continually locked up afterwards. Needs a lot of bugs to be fixed before it is ready for prime time. ### 1/5 — Ripped *2015-02-28, version 1.0* Keeps freezing when want to clear .. Not good .. Fix the app or refund please ### 1/5 — Does not work *2015-02-11* After first time I used it on my iPhone..worked fine. Second time it froze and has not worked since. Junk! ### 1/5 — Cannot erase traces *2014-07-05* Despite a couple of attempts to inform Andrew Robinson of the non-erase flaw that renders Trace Thai useless, he refuses to be accountable to customers by fixing this great app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly *2014-06-14, version 1.0* This a terrible app. Don't waste your money on it. Any time I try and do the test it lets me answer one question and then closes down. When I click on 'remove all sketches' in the settings the app freezes up. I feel ripped off ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-06-14* Good for the basics. I recommend it to students learning Thai. 99¢ 'is' cheap but it's a lot considering once you past the initial phases of learning, the app becomes useless. However, I got it when it was free, totally awesome. Like most things in life, always use multiple avenues to approach learning. ## Frequently asked questions about Trace Thai ### What does Trace Thai teach?
