3.7.5
2018-08-29
This is a tiny update to fix a few bugs and update the App Store listing. Bigger updates (with more quiz questions & a new dark mode) are in development and coming soon.
3.7.0
2018-08-03
This is a small update to increase the font size of the Thai text on the translation word ordering games so that it's a little easier to read and to tap. I also updated the icon and splash screen to include a nice blue background.
3.5.9
2018-07-28
This update fixes quiz formatting for users with small screens (shoutout to all of the iPhone SE and iPhone 5S users!) and updates the information in the 'Transportation' lesson. I also began writing and adding new quiz questions and fixed a few typos that I found when reviewing the current questions.
3.5.8
2018-06-26
This update adds sentence ordering games where you are given an English sentence and must arrange the translated Thai words in the correct order!
I also changed touch detection on drag & drop exercises so the page doesn't scroll even if you miss the box by a little bit and fixed a bug that appeared on the home page if you reset your quiz scores.
3.5.5
2018-05-28
This release adds drag-and-drop exercises to the first 15 lessons adding a fun way to practice consonant classes, vowel length, and the different tone rules!
New sentence translation and word order exercises will be coming to lessons 16-38 in the next update (coming soon!).
3.4.0
2018-05-13
The biggest visible change in this update is that you can now check quizzes that include audio questions and see the correct answers with audio included. I also fixed a few transcription errors in Lessons 17 and 20, and made a few small updates to the culture lessons.
Behind the scenes I totally re-wrote the code that handles audio, so if you had any weird issues where a button wouldn't play or maybe you had to reload the page to get audio, that should be fixed now. If you have any issues with audio or anything else after this update, please send me an email (
[email protected]) and I'll make sure to address it as soon as I can. Thanks!
3.3.1
2018-03-27
This minor update corrects a few typos in the later quiz questions and includes an updated description for Pocket Thai Master on the App Store.
If you have any feedback, critiques, or questions please don't hesitate to send me an email at

2018-03-18
This update adds trophies to the Table of Contents based on your highest quiz score for each lesson. An 8/10 earns the Bronze Trophy, 9/10 earns the Silver Trophy, and a perfect score gives you the Gold! You can earn a gold trophy for culture lessons just by reading them.
It also fixes a small bug where two audio quizzes gave out an extra point and corrects a few typos.
3.1.0
2018-03-15
This update fixes a few typos and makes a few small changes to the quizzes, including the addition of a short audio clip when you submit your answers that indicates whether you passed or failed!
3.0.0
2018-02-06
This update includes a total re-write of the Thai reading lessons, going from 3 lessons in the old version to 11 lessons in the new version. This overhaul means shorter, more manageable reading lessons with easy to understand charts and information, and over 100 new quiz questions spread out so it’s easy to learn!
What's coming soon? I'm working on making Pocket Thai more fun with additions of some different learning games! In the coming weeks expect some new matching games, special icons on the Table of Contents for lessons that you've gotten perfect quiz scores on, and exercises where you put the words of a sentence in order.
If you only want to learn how to read Thai, a stand-alone reading app is coming this February 2018.
2.7.5
2018-01-22
This update fixes the issue where table columns don't always line up on iPhones. Now all of the charts should display correctly regardless of whether or not you hold your phone in landscape or in portrait orientation!
This update also increases font size on Thai characters during the Thai Script lessons so that it's easier to see each character clearly and identify the differences and tweaks a few mnemonic stories to help you remember the Thai alphabet.
Lastly, it adds audio to all of the mnemonic charts so that you can tap and hear the sound that each Thai letter makes on those pages too.
2.5.7
2018-01-16
This update adds mnemonics to help you learn and remember the Thai vowels and adds a short explanation of how mnemonics work to aid memorization. If you're having trouble remembering the Thai script, it might be worth re-visiting the Thai Script lessons and checking them out!
2.2.0
2018-01-07
This is a small update to fix a few small bugs including a few pages that didn't support swiping to go back (settings page!), and to correct a few typos in the lessons.
2.1.0
2018-01-03
This update has a small fixes for the in-app-purchase where the "success" and "error" messages popped up twice. This update also fixes a small bug with the "restore purchases" button on the settings page.
If you ever delete Pocket Thai and then re-install later, you can click the "restore purchases" button and your previous purchase will be confirmed and you can unlock the full program without being charged a second time.

This update adds content/pages in Lessons 2, 5, and 6. In additional to new pronunciation tips, the Thai consonants now have mnemonics to help aid memorization and recall!

Pocket Thai Lite now has support for portrait mode, so it's much better for one handed use!
Lots of people have emailed requesting support for portrait mode, and I've done my best to create a solution. Thanks to everyone who sent me an email and provided thoughts/feedback (I'm listening!). Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any ideas or critiques to share.

This update is only necessary for lucky owners of the new iPhone X!
This update addresses two problems:
*It adds space at the bottom of the screen for the "Home Bar" (only added for users with an iPhone X)
*It fixes the status bar area (broken on iPhone X using older versions of Pocket Thai Lite)
Everyone else, feel free to ignore this update and keep focusing on your Thai studies. If you have any suggestions or feedback please email me (
[email protected])!
1.1.2

This is a minor update to address a few bugs that I created in the last version (Sorry!):
*Fix broken splash screen that shows up when you open the app
*Initial support for iPhone X release
1.1.0
2017-10-10
Hey Thai Learners - This is a fairly large update with lots of behind-the-scenes changes.
*Pocket Thai Lite is now twice as fast and uses half of the memory of older versions. That should mean faster page turns and slightly faster load times for you!
*Thai text is larger now so it should be easier to discriminate between similar Thai letters. It's hard to tell the difference between ถ and ภ, ฎ and ฏ, and other almost identical pairs. Having larger text should make the differences easier to spot!
*Quiz text is also a little bit larger now but should still mostly fit on the screen with no scrolling up and down required.
