First of, I really love the app, finally I can learn some Italian. The problem is that I can’t download the course (Learn Italian for Polyglots) on my phone, and I really need to be able to download it, since the 4G/3G coverage is pure on my daily commute.
I have been reading and apparently courses bigger then 3000 words have problems with the download. When will you address this?
Hi @ehsan55, speaking as a user of the app and one who has been following this problem, I know that a lot of work has gone into improving the process over the last couple of months. I know of people who have successfully downloaded large courses lately too. I don’t have any courses that large in my area of interest at the moment (unfortunately on a few different levels ).
Where were you reading about the problems with courses larger than 3000 words?
Are you using a WiFi network when you are trying to download? Do you have a pro subscription? What is your current version of:
No, I don’t think it’s a device issue. I have the Pro version, and if I’m not mistaken I read about the download issues under FAQ on memrise website.
When I’m on my WiFi (the router is literally 5 cm from my phone) and try to download, at first it says “gathering information” and after a while I get “download failed, check you wifi” (something along those lines) . I might try downloading via cellular data (4G), and see if that will work.
Well, I tried to download the course twice on my Android phone. It stopped mid-stream and threw the standard “download failed - check your network connection” kind of message. I also tried to download it twice on my iPad. The first time it failed. The second time it looks like it is just spinning its wheels at about 60% downloaded. I think I will just kill it. While I’ve had issues before with Android downloads, I don’t recall any with iOS (and I have a ton of courses on my iPad, several with more than a couple of thousand words in each). They generally download on iOS very fast. This one is taking forever. That’s probably not a good sign. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful. Maybe someone else has some better insight.
Hello, some of the courses you can download that are larger than 3000 words. E.g. I had had polish course that had 7000+ word and I had no problem downloading it. However I have had spanish and portuguese courses (each 7000+ words) and the android program is not able to download it.
I think I saw a post stating that if this issue persist tomorrow after reinstalling the app then they look more into it, but it should be fixed by tomorrow. I could be wrong… have to find the right post to confirm
