I transferred my 6000 word deck to anki today, it’s saved the scheduling and it all seems to be working fine.It’s non typing by default but if you’re willing to spend a bit of time on the tutorial vids on youtube you can set it up as typing as well, which is what i’ve just done. very pleased with the results.
An added bonus is that the the stats on anki are very in-depth and actually mean something, so for the first time, I can get an idea of how spaced out my cards are etc.
Goodbye memrise!
To those who will stick with Pro on Memrise, don’t expect long term commitment to their services on their side based on what is going on just now.
I would count myself as a “trusted user”, too, and would be happy if existing course contributors could have the possibility to remove mems and edit mems containing errors.
Is there any chance that trusted users could be given these facilities?
No, unfortunately it will not. The application updates its list of courses from the internet - and kaboom!
You can test it. Remove any course from the website (that what will be done effectively server-side after the great wall is built) - and it is automatically removed from the app, without any update from the playstore.
There is, in the FAQs, I think.
A question for @kevin5284
Will the existence of the sister site, “Decks”, be publicised in any way on the main memrise app or web-based version?
It has been my observation that learners who went through the 7 memrise Swedish courses then added “my” courses, the four-part series, “8,000+ Most Common Swedish Words”.
Is there any way that people who use the memrise app will even know that Decks exists and would provide a way for them to continue their learning after completing the memrise courses in a given language?
yes, funny to read how they try to convince people that the mobile friendly website will do it but don’t say that there will be no offline mode anymore
Here in US unlimited data rates are not unlimited with most plans, when a limit is hit the rates are high. Off-line is really required for audio playback when you are on a wifi network and so on.
Am I the only one who thinks it is actually pretty cool that our community courses will be supported by a FREE website?
The memrise CEOs could have just shut down our courses completely!
So, to be honest, even though I am not hugely happy about this decision, I think it could have been a lot worse.
@owlielovesbooks we’ll be restructuring the forum for Decks and Memrise related content, so all the community threads will be within the Decks section.
And your Memrise username and password will work for Decks, you won’t need to create a separate one
@jjjhorn I’m sorry to hear that. Please send a message to our Support team about this

Thanks
@amanda-norrsken I’ll look into this at the same time and let you know.
Thanks for the suggestion
Probably you are not alone in this (even if you are alone it’s OK), but actually there is nothing for free and that is what some users including me are afraid of.
Unfortunately, for some people they will be shut down anyway. For example, many are working in offices looking in PC screen all day long. They don’t want to look in this screen after their work or they’d rather learn something in subway, etc., when they have idle moment. By the way, it’s not good for your spine bone to spend many time in sitting position.
And they will be able to use Decks on any device that has a web browser and internet access, i.e. tablet, smartphone, laptop, so they can work on their “Decks” without going anywhere near their PC.
There are plenty of other ways to spend your time on a train without internet access, books are great ways to learn languages, and the Audible app is pretty cool as well. I don’t think anybody’s life is going to fall apart because they can’t use memrise on their subway ride to work.
@amanda-norrsken we’re discussing this kind of linking between Memrise and Decks at the moment. For the launch it won’t be there since we’re focused on making sure Decks works well, but we know that community courses fill a gap for more advanced users that Memrise doesn’t.
There will be a simple linking between Memrise and Decks at launch (in the footer and about page).
The problem is that from the technical point of view this experience is not going to be as smooth as via native app. Moreover, in that case you can not use offline mode which is crucial for many users.
Absolutely. But we are language maniacs and dictionary dope fiends, so this is a pretty heavy blow for us. 
The world won’t fall apart. People will just stop using Memrise and will use that other things you just mentioned. The issue here is that memrise was really convenient to have everything on just one place.
And what you say that it could have been worst, that they could have just deleted them. Well, to be honest I think they wanted that. They couldn’t do it because the fire would have been worst for them, not to us. Eventually, because everything is on mobile now. Not enough people will get access to Decks and that will be their perfect justification to shut it down in the future. The same justification they are using now to separate official Memrise courses and the community courses. They say most app user don’t use community courses and that’s the reason they are separating both. They didn’t allow new app users to reach community made courses on the app in the first place. Do you see the situation here??
Since everything is on mobile now, and by mobile I mean smartphone apps. Decks won’t have many users and you can start telling Decks Goodbye.
This is only for those under 30 days. No option for those who have been longtime members.
How??? Please help me!!
From what I have read here, a lot of users found that they had a better learning experience using the web-based version of memrise, anyway! And many found the app rather annoying, with its onboard keyboard that totally dumbs down the recall test. I regularly play Scrabble-type games, so anything with a list of letters is practically telling me what the word is. So, for “serious” language learners, the app has always been a bit of an unnecessary frivolity, because its testing methods make it far too easy to guess words.
There are loads of posts here complaining about the onboard keyboard that gives away too much information.
I often use the browser on my phone to access online dictionaries and other sites and I don’t have a problem with it at all. Once you have the shortcut on your phone screen - which will be made available - there shouldn’t be a huge difference to the previous (not very good) app experience.
