Thai Phrasebook and Dictionary App Product Comparison
You might be wondering:
- How are the Thai phrasebook and dictionary
app products different?
- How can I decide whether to buy phrasebook or the dictionary?
- Are all features of the phrasebook also in the dictionary?
- Can I upgrade from phrasebook to dictionary?
- Can I add phrasebook features to my dictionary?
Platforms
We offer our two apps on the following platforms.
The "dictionary" app is also called the "dictionary+phrasebook" app
because it includes all the features of the phrasebook app:
Features and Upgrades
The chart below shows how the phrasebook and dictionary apps differ
in terms of features.
As you can see, the iOS and Android dictionary apps currently have the
full feature set, comprising the huge
195,000 entry
dictionary vocab plus all the features, categories, and vocabulary
of the phrasebook app including super phrases and currency
conversion.
The Windows dictionary app will get the full feature set soon: as
explained on our sneak preview page, we
are in the late stages of development and testing. See that page if
you are interested in being a beta tester.
For those who purchased our phrasebook app, we will be releasing a new
version of the phrasebook app that lets you do an in-app
purchase (which will simply be the price difference between the
two products) to upgrade it to the full dictionary app.
So, no matter which product you purchase today, you have an upgrade
path to full functionality of both apps, and the price to get there is
the same no matter which app you start with.
