GINORMOUS List of iOS Apps to Learn Thai: iPhone, iPad and iPod

List of Thai Learning Apps for Your iPhone, iPad and iPod…

Welcome to my addiction – iOS apps for learning Thai. I started collecting iOS apps back in 2009, when I bought my first iPhone 3G. By 2010 there were enough Thai apps for a series that included Thai Language Phrase books, Thai Alphabet and Vocabulary and iPhone apps: English Thai Dictionaries.

Each year the apps kept updating, multiplying, or disappearing off the market. Back in 2010 there were around 15 Thai phrase books. Three years later, there are over 70. Past time (story of my life) to step up to the plate with a follow up series. And oh. What a plate it is.

The number of available apps is so GINORMOUS, two weeks ago (give or take) I felt compelled to create an Excel spreadsheet to wrap my head around what’s out there. And just incase I missed any (Thai apps are difficult to locate) this week I asked fellow iOS addicts Michel and Bernard if they had any more. They did.

After showing the newly updated list to Keith Williams, he came back with: As they say in London “Cor blimey guvnor”. You will really have to do what Ringo Starr sang about “I’ll get by with a little help from my friends”.

And he’s right. This list is bigger than I can handle. HUMONGOUS even.

In order to get this series out in a timely manner, I’ll need help with:

• Apps I’m not familiar with (flashcard creators, translators, and OCRs).
• Suggestions on which apps go under what section.
• Pointing out apps that are mostly for the Thai market.
• And… I’d very much like to get opinions other than my own.

If you’d like to help out you don’t want to break the bank by acquiring them all, like I did. As you’ll see below, there are plenty of FREE apps available to choose from.

Oh. And if you come across apps I don’t have, please send them over.

Please note that not all apps will be included in the review. I won’t share any apps that have been discontinued (obviously), Filthy Thai (I don’t go there), ripped apps, and apps for learning Thai in languages other than English. But I will include apps for Thais learning English.

One more favour. As I mentioned, Thai apps keep disappearing off the market. Is there a way I can program an alert linked to the apps on this page? From what I can tell, iTunes alerts apps that update but does nothing about discontinued apps (other than redirecting their urls). As I intend to keep the spreadsheet up to date, getting an auto alert would save a lot of time.

There will be much much more on the subject later on, but here you go: The MEGGA list of Thai learning apps for your iOS.

Thai Learning Apps for the iPhone, iPad and iPod…

Note: This list will continue to be updated and tweaked. I won’t change the prices, but the location of the apps will change. When I created this list my aim was to quickly lump apps under headings. As I figure out their main focus, some will need to be elsewhere. Something like that.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy cruising the iOS apps on this list as much as I do!
