The RTF app

Rent Thai Friend on your phone

Add Rent Thai Friend to your home screen and it opens like any other app, called RTF. Our replies, your approval and booking news arrive as notifications, so you never miss a  friend being free. It's free and takes a few taps, with no app store.

Why use the app

  • Know the moment we reply

    Replies from our team, your approval and booking news land as notifications, even with the site closed.

  • One tap away

    Friends, your chats, your bookings and your plans open straight from your home screen, already signed in.

  • Private

    It shows as "RTF" on your phone, and a notification only says "RTF" and what it's about: never a friend's name or photo.

  • Nothing to download

    It's the website, saved to your home screen: no app store, no updates to install, and it takes almost no space.

How to install it

Use Safari: on an iPhone, only Safari can add the app to your home screen.

  1. Open the site in Safari

    Go to www.rentthaifriend.com/app in Safari.

  2. Tap Share

    The square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen (at the top on an iPad).

  3. Tap Add to Home Screen

    Scroll down the list until you see it. If it isn't there, tap Edit Actions and add it.

  4. Tap Add

    The RTF icon appears on your home screen.

  5. Open RTF and turn on notifications

    Open the app from its icon, sign in, then turn on notifications further down this page.

Questions about the app

Is the app free?
Yes. It's the Rent Thai Friend website saved to your home screen, so there's nothing to pay and nothing to buy in a store.
Is it in the App Store or Google Play?
No. You add it straight from our website, which takes a few taps. It works the same as a store app, and it always has the latest version.
What will people see on my phone?
The icon is called "RTF". Notifications only say "RTF" and what they're about, never a  friend's name or photo.
Do I need to sign in again?
Sign in once in the app with Google or LINE, the same way as on the website. After that it remembers you.
I don't see Add to Home Screen on my iPhone
Make sure you're in Safari, not in LINE's or Instagram's browser. In Safari's share list, scroll down, or tap Edit Actions to add it.
How do I remove it?
Press and hold the RTF icon, then tap Remove App on an iPhone or Uninstall on Android. Your account, chats and bookings stay as they are.
