Review summary

Users appreciate The Thaiger app for its well-presented, user-friendly interface and quality Thai news content with customizable notifications. However, many report excessive intrusive ads, slow load times, frequent crashes, and issues with article loading or misdirected links. Additionally, the lack of a dark theme affects usability. These negatives, especially intrusive ads and performance issues, have led to dissatisfaction despite the app's strengths.

Pros

Well presented and user friendly interface
Good source for Thai news in English
Customizable push notifications for news updates
Clean and organized layout with helpful categories
Provides better experience compared to just YouTube content

Cons

Excessive and intrusive advertisements disrupting usage
App is slow and often takes too long to load
Frequent crashing and instability making app unusable
Articles sometimes fail to load or headline links misdirect
No dark theme making it hard to use in low light conditions

2024-06-23	Es*****	This app kill your eyes, why no dark theme?! Unusable at night time and uncomfortable even in day time, this app is the brightest I have, just after the torch. Dark theme should be mandatory by Google policy

2023-09-19	It*****	Keeps crushing. If you scroll for more then 5 articles it starts to slow down. It's too sensitive for left/right slide which send you then back to the top.

2023-08-28	Mi*****	In the past it was a good app for news in Thailand which I used every day. Since update there is a anointing advertising. App is slow and push notifications not received. Enough with ads I will uninstall.

2023-08-21	Mi*****	The new version is awful, a huge step back from the previous version. It is overloaded with ads and almost impossible to navigate without inadvertently opening the embedded ads. As I result I'm relying much more on the Bangkok Post app (which is also far from user friendly) for Thailand news.

2023-08-09	An*****	Understand need to monetize but original app was so good - this new one is horrible - no problem with having adverts but these keep popping up everywhere making page jump whilst reading articles - its so annoying. And for older people like me the font us far too small. Used to use old one everyday but rarely bother to look at Thaiger now

2023-08-06	Je*****	Been coming back to Thaiger App every other day on the old App. But since its transition to the new App, it takes eons to load. Your web developer should know, anything more than 5 seconds, you start to loose viewership

2023-07-27	Ru*****	The ads are constant and unbelievably intrusive. I would love to support your organization, but this app is not the way to view Thaiger news articles.

2023-07-25	Ed*****	The old App worked well for me, this one is slow, The Ads feel forced but that's not my main gripe, also it sometimes won't even load. I have to close it and reopen it and it takes a while. I won't be using the app until I see it's fixed. You guys are great though, keep up the great work but please fix it. I use a Samsung Android if that helps.

2023-07-24	Wi*****	The app has become absolutely annoying. I have used it for many years with pleasure, but now, after the forced update, it is overloaded with advertisements. The email verification is impossible to acomplish using your phone only. By the time you have received and found the emailed OTP , the amount of time there is to enter it in the app, has expired.

2023-05-28	Cl*****	Unless now. The app was slowly going downhill. It was an app I used daily, but then they changed the layout and sources, now a requirement to sign into the app. I refuse to do such and have uninstalled.
