Gaining way too many points - something wrong?

Take a look at this:
My OS: Apple IOS 12 Beta 5.

Today
Learned with my Mac for 20 minutes and 10 minutes with my iPhone.

a day before i was on the first place, the next day i was very supprised to see that someone done over 1 milion points over night. It’s possible. I don’t make a million in one week, learning everyday. How did he do it???

Thanks for reporting this issue and sharing screenshots. We are aware of some issues for certain users regarding the points system not working correctly, and our developers / QA team is investigating.

We hope to release a fix shortly.

I hope that.

Ahh, so the rise in loads of players suddenly having millions of points with in minutes/hours is more a glitch than players cheating then!?!
I thought memrise had been invaded by hundreds of cheaters at once, hopefully it gets fixed soon. :slight_smile:

I’ve never heard of such a glitch. But yes it would be nice is this is fixed.

The glitch is only on the iphone and ipad with IOS11 and IOS 12 Beta

I suspect the majority is quiet about this and enjoy the bonus.

The whole notion of accumulating points as a total sum is not exactly that important for language learning. There’s plenty of more important statistics they could generate, of which most is missing. *)

*) How many new words per day, what’s the precision date over time, how many times you need to re-learn words…

You’re right. You can not buy anything with the points.

Totally agree.

I only highlighted it because I didn’t want anyone thinking I was doing anything dodgy.

I couldn’t careless about points.

I have the same problem.
I supposedly learned 252 hours in the last week (a week has only 168 hours) and gained 8 million points (or 8,7 million in the last month).
In reality it had to be less than half a million points and about 12-15 hours.

I think the phenomenon/bug occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday (14th & 15th of August)
These are the two bluest days in my memrise statistics calendar.
