Good to have another source of information for Thai news. With time, it could even compete with the Bangkok Post. But don’t forget that expats are guests in Thailand and don’t get over sensitive about equal treatment… it comes with the package.
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! We are hoping with time, we can become the leading publication in Thailand. Thanks for subscribing
Seriously??

Now the app requires an account before it lets you into the news screens. So let’s recap. First they trash the presentation with oversized distorted photos that make the article unreadable. Now they require an account. I have way too many accounts and passwords already, and adding another so I can be confronted with distorted photos and very little content isn’t going to happen. The app isn’t compelling enough to keep. DELETE!!
Need more positive reporting
Flyman2
Site used to be balanced with positive and negative. Now most broadcast and printed stories are negative. My years of living in Thailand I know the culture and country has many more positive stories to report. Why did you go to the negative side ??? I am so disappointed. I used to watch every day and read stories several times a day. Now like all the other negative broadcasting I am turning away and will stop referring others to The Thaiger.
Too many ads
Dcolato
It’s a great source for Thai news but the amount of ads are a distraction. An ad to start the app, ads after ads (video ones at that which can’t be paused) while scrolling the articles. Then after one or two reads a big ad covers the screen. Yeah I get the app is free but don’t make it annoying
Improvements and fixes.
