How to turn the timer off?

well, in my firefox, editing my scripts by adding the s in the domains seems to screw them up completely…it does not work, I suspect they made some changes to the UI (other than the https…)

This is off-topic here as the fix I suggested does work for this script. If you like help, please post your userstyle in the thread you started so people can look at it.

Oh just get rid of the timer already! I can time myself if I want to. The timer doesn’t take the size of the problem into account and ruins what could be good learning experiences by turning them into some kind of quizz wack-a-mole. It’s poorly implemented, and currently the main reason I consider going back to anki.

Hi @Azouras! There is a script for turning off timer

Thanks, I so I saw. I’m—however—not particularly fond of running user scripts to solve basic issues with a site; the site should have solved it themselves to begin with. It’s like gaming companies relying on thier fanbase to come up with community patches, or letting dad do your homework—it might get the job done, but it’s not how it should have been done in the first place.

What’s really annoying is now iOS has a timer!!!

@Mangozzz ~ where are you seeing a timer on the iOS app ?

I have never encountered one, and I just spent the last few minutes learning/reviewing and using the Difficult Words feature on the app.

I am on version 2.2.28 (2813). What version are you seeing a timer on ?

Weird. A friend tried the app and they have atimer. Only gave 10 mins I think? Then when it was done it said they had to wait 3 hours. It’s the newest update July 7th. I haven’t updated it myself yet since I am not sure if it will cause the same problem

That does sound truly “weird”. The version number I referenced is the latest update from yesterday, and I never saw one while I was using it this morning (and I never saw one on any previous iOS version in my years as a Memrise user). Even the timer on the website does not behave in the manner you cite. That would be truly “weird”.

@MemriseMatty or @Joshua ~ can either of you interject here and offer some insight from the Memrise-side, as to the existence of a timer on the iOS app.

Thank you.

This is a screenshot from the app @pdao

Interesting! Like @pdao, I’m not seeing that timer on my iOS app (version 2.2.28 July 7th - on iPad).

The green banner on your screenshot suggests it was taken during a planting/learning session. I’ve looked at both planting/learning and watering/reviewing sessions, but no timer visible.

Maybe they are trialling it only on some servers?

@Mangozzz ~ This is both “interesting” and “weird”. Like @alanh ~ I too am not seeing this timer. But maybe, this is an instance like the logging out issue I encountered with the previous app version (which I reported in a recent thread, but no one else seemed to see it) where only some users encounter an issue. How or why that is, I have no idea.

@MemriseMatty and @Joshua were both tagged on this thread, and both work at Memrise (neither @alanh or myself do). Hopefully one of them can chime in as to what this issue is, and what it means (is it a bug, or a pre-maturely visible “feature”, etc.).

Memrise is currently closed for the weekend, so it would be Monday at the earliest before they can respond.

Can you verify that your friend is currently on the latest iOS version. (The version number is visible on the Setttings/About Memrise tab, on the bottom of the screen). The version I am using is 2.2.28 (2813). (You know that is going to be the first question Memrise will ask you if they contact you).

Thanks for reporting this issue. Let’s see how Memrise responds to it.

Edit: FWIW, My personal opinion is that I hope they don’t put a timer on the app (either iOS or Android), at this time or in the future.

Yep I checked its 2.2.28 (2813) maybe a glitch or something? I’m hoping in the next update it will go away. Also I’m not sure if I should update since I do not wish for a timer. I’m on 2.2.27

@Mangozzz ~ I agree with your decision to stay put. I would do the same thing if roles were reversed.

Hopefully Memrise will respond soon with some type of explanation for this discrepancy of what users are seeing with the latest iOS app version update.

Already did. 10 minutes and then you’re locked out for 4 hours unless you change your iPhone clock

It does it for me
Too, so go check you dang liar. I’m tired of this changing clock after 10 minutes shit. Get it under control. I’d post the screenshot, but it won’t let me paste and there’s no damn box to upload an image sooooooo

@jusjohnson11 ~ if you insist on getting overly emotional about this issue, at least direct your frustrations to the right people.

I do not work for Memrise, nor can I help you with this issue. Two Memrise staff members who could shed some light on this issue were tagged in this thread (if you read the thread comments above your posting you would know that).

@MemriseMatty ; @Joshua ; @BeaTrisy ~ any news on the status of this issue (the existence of a timer in the iOS app) ? Apparently some users are seeing it, and some are not. What’s the scoop ?

I think it is important to let users know what is going on, especially if a new update is forthcoming to resolve the pop-up Pro ads that shouldn’t exist. If one installs the update to fix that issue, will it then install a timer on the iOS app for users who don’t have it now ? That would not be good.

Please let us know what is going on. Thank you.

Memrise should hire a community manager to answer the numerous dead topics rather than letting their users without informations.

I just canceled my subscription because of frustration on these many unanswered questions (hello? Anyone here? * * the inhabitants left * *)

This “Timer” thing must be optional for users, however, its not.
