[Feature Request] General Requests to prevent lost streaks and more levels

Welcome to the Forum! General Discussion

There are 3 things that are really irking me from time to time and I would love to have them resolved…

1. The ability to choose the “end of the day” myself: I don’t know how often I lost my streak because the clock stroke midnight and I just wasn’t finished… I am a night person and often start revising my words in the middle of the night and it is really frustrating for me to lose my streak because of something like this.

  • If I were able to change the time to let’s say 5 a.m. instead of midnight, that would be so much less stressful.

2. Having a general streak instead of one for every course (Android app): I study several courses at once and for every course I have my own streak (xx days in a row). This would be OK when I would not lose my streaks again and again just because I finish a course and have nothing to review. So, what I would like is

  • a general streak regardless of the course , or

  • a streak that keeps counting (even though I’m not doing anything for that course) whenever a course is completed and there is nothing to learn or review (because at a certain point the words/items from the course will come up again)

3. More levels: After level 13/14 it takes ages reaching the next level and, at least for me, this leads to a huge motivation loss. I need to level up faster to see the progress I made…

Those are just minor things, but they have a huge impact on my motivation (because they are frustrating me and then I don’t want to continue learning), so it would be great to see them fulfilled.

Thank you very much! :slight_smile:

Hi,

you can choose a different timezone here on the web portal: Memrise

Instead of a conrete timezone from your region/city e.g GMT0 (CET) or GMT+1 (Germany) you can choose e.g Etc/GMT+4 or 6 to move the point reset / new day more into the “middle of the night” (AnkiSRS default is around 04:00am which you can overwrite).

Sorry, I have no idea how this works for US settings or how the Memrise mobile app behaves (if I should guess: It takes the local time of your mobile device and might overwrite the Memrise TZ web settings).

As I sometimes fall asleep after 00:00am / 01:00am even I have not already reached the minimum streak points and wake up after 04:00/05:00am I have now choosen a reset time which is later than this.
So I might have a real chance when I wake up in the early morning to complete my review points.

Midnight 23:00pm - 23:59:59pm is reserved for Duolingo to be able to maintain my global streak.
Duolingo (mobile) clubs leaderboards reset at 01:00am.

The more individual courses you have in parallel, the more difficult it gets to complete on time (e.g 00:00am or 04/05:00am).
Resetting my day later than that already helped me.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. I have tried that before, but the app doesn’t accept it. It wants me to update my profile and this banner covers some important buttons, so this is no real option…
