Yes, as @skublover has noticed, courses now automatically load as you scroll - please try it out and let us know how it is working for you.
Which mobile functions in particular would you like on web?

Oh yes, I noticed the difference today. It’s a lot better, thank you. 
Wow! Awesome work - and so quickly! Thank you for being responsive to the feedback. I love these tweaks to the already-refreshed, streamlined look of the dashboard. I’ve also noticed the (much) faster loading of the courses - 11 courses with just the slightest of pauses! Kudos to the design/programming team. Now… if I could just squeeze in a suggestion for more teacher tools to manage their classes… 
Keep up the great work!

I’d like grammar lessons in the official courses to be available on web. I don’t get why they’re mobile only. It seems very important to learning a language.
And thank you for the responsiveness to the feedback. The new dashboard is a lot more tolerable now.
oh yeah it’s way faster now. Thank you.

If they ever do Grammar lessons for Desktop, I do not want them to begin locking grammar and learning words under Premium. I’m a simple man, as long as I can learn a little without paying, I’m happy

Thank you for asking for our feedback.

I really miss this information on my Home page (aka Dashboard).
Even the new side panel does NOT show it.
One has to go to the full stats to check, and it’s not easy tell me if it’s registered my latest daily attendance goal (as there is always a blank for tomorrow).
There has been an odd occasion when one’s learning has not registered.
Could you add the above to a side panel please? Perhaps in another one on the left (using all that white space).

I think it has already been said, but I can’t try Alpha without automatically accepting Beta testing.

Personally I prefer the old screens and actually, I thought the Landscape theme and planting etc was the best theme you ever had.
4
I would dearly love you to go back to squares (as on each web course page) or circles (like on the App dashboard - much better now, thanks) instead of a misshaped or pushed over circle.
Our image was set up for a circle and the course images were set up for squares and often look odd now (as reported before).

Perhaps by the green “put clocks back an hour” 
or “Back up your computer now” or “See history” or “Reload current page” symbol, you could add the words “Other Categories” to make it clear, please.
Incidentally I could not scroll that list and had to Zoom out to 50% to see the whole list by which time the writing was very small.

I really dislike this format. As far as I can tell, it is impossible to verify which days the streak applies to in any way. OK…13 days. Does that means today (Sunday, for example) is completed or still TBD? No way to verify easily.

I suppose it’s okay, but on my ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) there is an insane amount of whitespace:
I’m used to a lot of empty areas on websites on the left and right sides, being that my monitor is so wide. However, the problem is that the menus on either side end up too far out. And the “Recently learned”-header box doesn’t make any sense where it sits at, far away from the actual list.
I think setting a maximum width for the website would be good, so the menus don’t spread out that much.
Putting a “Scroll down to load more” message would probably also be useful, as to avoid confusion about where the rest of the courses are:
And for bigger screens, such as mine, it would be nice if it loaded 5 courses from the get-go instead of 4, as there’s enough space for it.

Hello,
I think you should put a dark mode for the background, my eyesight is decreasing since using Memrise, and I am having trouble doing long sessions because of it.
Good continuation.

I just feel it lacks information now. Since as said before, the Streak Clock/Stats Area have vanished. So the page seems a little sparse and bland. It just seems a little oversimplified.

The overall look and feel is fine BUT …all I want from the interface is to know if I have any outstanding items to complete as I use this app as well as a number of others for learning and just want to quickly check what courses need attention. It’s not clear if my streaks need to be updated when I click on the purple rocket - is the middle circle of the 5 shown the current day? Really don’t find this very clear at all. I would find a better indication of being on target for streaks more useful.
I absolutely second Vikestarts comment on the white space. It isn’t really an issue, but it is a bit too much.
Ok - I did a check by swapping between the standard and alpha version - on the standard version any courses that need to be done today (to keep my streak) are in black and the ones that don’t need to be done are in yellow. The new alpha version doesn;t show this at all.
It basically isn’t showing enough information - please include an indicator for those of us that dip in every day just to keep the streak going

Hi folks 
,
Thank you so much for the feedback! Over the last few days we have rolled out a few improvements:
- The category filter is now scrollable, which fixes the issue reported by @Vikestart (Thank you!) where users would have to zoom if they were enrolled in courses across several categories
- We’ve added tooltips across the experience
- The card centre status is now kept as per your latest action - this means that if you open it, it will remain open even when go elsewhere in the Memrise product experience or close your browser
We’ll continue to rollout out improvements and will keep you up to date!

Sorry, team, but Alpha is terrible for users with more than 3 courses learning The letters are HUGE, the white space is engulfing, the dashboard is really hard to navigate - no filters, not way of grouping the courses according to subjects, no teaching tab. In general, a huge pain for the eyes and brain.
I’ve been on memrise for 8-9 years now, and this is the worst… (not that beta would be a charm)
I am sticking with the standard plus userscripts, in the hope that memrise does not ruin again completely my learning experience

Hi Memrise team,
I’ve a few comments on the Alpha
- I follow multiple courses and with this view it’s hard to use the same approach I had with the previous layout. For a certain argument (eg. Portuguese), I use the review function that picks from all the courses completed or not, and then I exercise on the incomplete to reach the daily goal. This requires multiple back and forth from the Filter menu
- After completing the review of a Language across all the courses, it goes back to the main page. Why? I think , it should be more logic to stay on the same topic
- on a PC with a large screen, the review button is in the corner far from the courses. If you’re suggesting me to review those words why it’s not clearly visible
- Statistics has never been a strong point. I like the bar popping up from the right. Why don’t you put context based statistics such as a small chart with # of words learned in the last X months compared to the avg active user or fail / success ratio or other fun facts?
- the message on the top right just below the Alpha. That states what I am doing. Fine. Why not make it a selection place: most recent, to be completed today, most frequent. Max 5 choices
Thanks

The two main beefs I have:
-
The review button is no longer at the top of the screen. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” comes to mind. Tucked away in the lower left corner doesn’t make much sense to me, but hey.
-
The dashboard doesn’t seem to remember which course I left open from my last log in, a problem that never existed before.
If I can think of any more complaints, I know where to go.
Thanks for all you do.

Hi @luis_memrise, thanks for making a start on these, (especially for the wider format, the scrolling list and hover words when one goes to category - but words there always would be good) but I’m not sure you’ve seen all the points I raised ► above ◄.
Here’s a new one.

On my home page (aka Dashboard) I could normally keep that tab open and Control + Click to open a course in a new tab.
Now it only opens it in the same tab - which is a disadvantage.

While I do like the nice, cleaner design and how everything is so much bigger (which might prove to be especially helpful with Arabic script), this is absolutely horrible for a power user. Over the course of several years, I’ve made dozens of courses and randomly revisit them from time to time when needed. To have to click through a set of four or five per page to get to the ones at the bottom would be even more annoying than pop-up advertisements.
HOWEVER, the good news is that, I don’t have to click, page by page, through the courses. I can just scroll down as I’ve done in the past. (When I’m super organized and using Memrise a lot, I actually bookmark my courses and/or create a spreadsheet with links for them, so even if I couldn’t do this there would have been workarounds.) UNFORTUNATELY, as someone has already mentioned, I now have no way of finding just those courses I’ve created. The list of courses included everything I’ve sampled even once (and I’ve sampled A LOT of courses). This is so unworkable for me that I’ve decided to go back to the version before beta. Oh, well. I have faith that the Memrise Team will take our criticisms into account and work toward a solution that satisfies us all.
Keep up the good work Memrise Team. I love how you are always seeking self-improvement! Just like the millions of people who benefit from the wonderful language platform you have created. Thank you for all that you’ve done and will continue to do in the future!
I don’t mind the beta version, but it isn’t without its flaws. Nevertheless, I haven’t fully explored this new alpha version and I appreciate your post because now I’ve been warned instead of unpleasantly surprised! The one thing I really thought was flawed about the beta version was the ability to make corrections to my course. I try to create as perfect a course as I can from the outset, but, occasionally, I notice an error and want to go and fix it. It was super easy to do that with the old Memrise, but really clunky and cumbersome to do it in the beta version. Does anyone know what I’m referring to here?
