Thai Dictionary - Dict Box

I used to use several Thai-Eng dictionary apps but I have finally stuck with only this one for several years. It is easy to search back and forth Thai to English and English to Thai. This app also aggregates data from several dictionary databases which is convenient to look up alternative meanings from other sources. However, I deduct 1 star from my rating for annoying ads that pop up so often when I am about to type the vocabulary down. Sometimes, I have to wait for 5 seconds in order to close the ads and continue typing. I know that is how you still manage to make this app free for us so I do not want to complain much. It just would be nice if it comes in a less annoying way.

I’ve been using this app for 3+ years and have finally decided to write a review. I move back and forth between the US and TL and this app is 100% the best language app. It’s definitely slightly more useful if you speak a bit of both languages, since it gives all the different possible translations but IMHO this leads to better communication since other apps like google just directly translate in the most obvious way. It also provides audio for the words, and has a memory of your saved words (if you find yourself searching similar things frequently).

By far the best dictionary app I have used, especially for Thai. It’s very difficult to find an app with an efficient interface and easy navigation. The highlighting function is absolutely essential in breaking down composite nouns and the like!!! I can trace nearly every word down by its syllable clusters, which is, again, absolutely amazing with a language like Thai. I am constantly opening the second pull-up/secondary search window and performing cross-searches to add more depth to my understanding of every word I learn. Fantastic work! Thank you for this app.

Not only is it very comprehensive (incorporating many dictionaries into one) but it also features an extremely versatile word list and review feature which is perfect for memorizing vocabulary. I use this app literally every day. A valuable app for free, and it is absolutely worth supporting. However I have run into performance issues especially with the flashcards feature: it drains my battery very quickly and loads quite slowly especially as the number of words in the list grows. Also, even after purchasing the upgrade to premium, I still got an ad!

I am an American, married to a native Thai woman. Both my wife and I use this app regularly as a reference and teaching/learning tool. I've tried a few others, but I've always come back to this one. The UI isn't at all fancy or especially nice to look at, but the links within the text to various sources and audio clips are incredibly functional and efficient. Give it a try.
