I thought the same thing with my Spanish (Mexico) course, along with many other deficiencies. I gave up trying to learn with Early Access. I understand your frustration. I’m a new life-time member, so, I’m not happy either.

This concerns me. I just started learning European Portuguese and I’m hoping the new format will work OK…

So far it seems to be awful. The beauty of memrise was that it taught you essential vocabulary and gave you a good basis for learning more. The new format is the same as you can find anywhere on you tube

Amen. Glad I am not the only one who finds this annoying.

Today you’ve made it impossible to use Memrise on Android 7.0.
So you have financial problems, but at the same time you are pushing people off your platform. Is there any logic in it?

My biggest feedback so far about the Early Access is that the membot consistently says Niña instead of Nia when I tell it my name, and that I am very not impressed that you can only review words once you finish an entire scenario.
Some of the scenarios are 60+ words long, and there are issues if you do a smaller amount of new words per day, lets say 5 words per day. With 5 new words per day a 65 word scenario would take 13 days to complete, 13 days without being able to review the first parts of the scenario means that it’s easily possible to forget some of the material before you even get a chance to practice it. This also leads to review burnout because it instantly queues up a ton of reviews right after you finish a scenario.
Please let us review words in our regular practice directly after they get the flower/learned, it will make everything so much less abrasive and discourage overloading ourselves by taking on more words per day than some of us are capable of just so we can start to get reviews on words we have learned. This is a major step backwards. Aside from these few things, I like the new version.
I paid for a lifetime membership to Memrise, and I really want to see it improve, but it’s very concerning that basic things like that are overlooked.
Edit: Some of the speakers also sound very quiet, while others sound very loud during the exercises on the Spanish (Spain) course. The volume difference between the loudest and quietest speakers is quite distracting, and having the volume loud enough to hear the quiet speakers makes the loud speakers deafening.

I really wish after a few minutes I stayed in the old memrise. It is better, the new look is weird. Everywhere it says, pro this, pro that. Gives me the feeling it is more pro than free. Also the look and feel is pretty annoying. The help says I can go back to the old memrise, but I cannot. The menu item simple doesn’t appear. If I say no to pro, pro lessons shouldn’t be available. I am someone who follows the path, left to right. But most the items seem to be pro items, which I cannot use and not willing to use. I simple cannot afford it. I also don’t like talking to bot, because they are known for more data breaches than human kind has done in it is entirety. But in seconds. Right now I don’t see anything useful in memrise for me. Not in the new version at least.

Hi @tetsuo and welcome to the forums!
Read the following posting (for the web) and/or mine underneath (for Android) for instructions about how to move back to Memrise classic:

@Olaf.Rabbachin - In this case the website should be working first. And yesterday there was no way back to community courses / classic memrise. I triple checked everything.
And furthermore Spanish 1 etc. are moving to the new experience. I thought community courses won’t? Probably another point why someone should leave memrise.

I’m still working on both official Memrise courses as well as community courses across a bunch of languages (I’m using Android) without any problems!
RE community courses: from what Memrise employees wrote here on the forums, these should stay in the “Classic Experience”. My assumption (!) is that they’ll eventually move all their “own” courses over to what’s now “Early Access” but, as with most things Memrise, that might take a while (if we’re lucky).
Not sure about the seemingly empty screenshot. Again, I didn’t have any problems on Android yesterday/Sunday.

Hopefully they all stay in the classic memrise mode.
RE screenshot: This is what the website of memrise, where my Dahsboard should be, look like right now on my desktop access. (Web Browser) Tried different browsers but website behaves as silly as my screenshot says and displays only a white background.
No problems here with the website (in classic), both with (latest) Chrome and Firefox.
I’m afraid I won’t try switching over to Early Access, maybe someone else can cross-check.
Edit: try and hit Ctrl-F5, that should “hard re-load” the website (avoiding the cache).

No problems switching here in Firefox.
Just that loading was especially slow yesterday.

I have this pretty often. Doesn’t matter which browser. Latest Chrome, latest firefox, latest Brave.
It’s gone now. It also happens in classic mode.
Screen recording of the multiple choice problem.
Do note that another problem has returned.
Text is overflowing from the button for checking answers.

This used to be a problem with courses with too few entries to create alternative - especially if entering small levels at a time.
Then one is left with those alternatives and it was hard to reset alternatives.
But I assume this is something new and unexpected in a course that was previously fine.
You can see in my screen recording that the problem sometimes carries over to the next question. Three (identical) answers from the previous question are already selected and green from the start. The other answers that are still selectable have as only option the actual answer.

I saw that and wondered why there were others highlighted as well.
I didn’t realise that that was happening as well. Very weird (to put it mildly).
I guess this is an unforeseen consequence of setting up Early Access and reverting to Community courses on Classic.
Thankfully I haven’t gone there yet and haven’t experienced an issue on my Android yet.
Perhaps I ought to try the web access.
