I just became a lifetime pro member and I’m already somewhat frustrated with the membership. The learning stats seemed to be the perfect addition to the standard version, but it seems it fails to deliver one simple option (opinion reinforced by the community at least here and here)::
-
Daily goals can’t have either limits or parameters customized.
In the mobile app (Android, in my case), the user can choose between 3 preset goal options based on the number of words to be learned in a day: 5, 15 or 30 words. In the web app, the user can again choose between 3 preset goals now based on the number of points accumulated in the day: 1,500, 6,000 or 20,000 points. So basically one cannot choose the same limit for daily practice across all platforms and also cannot choose the parameter (amount time, total points, number of learning events and number of words learned). -
The info on a particular day is very limited.
I miss more info when examining learning progress, in other words, there should be more data on parameters available since users have different interests. At the moment, when hovering over a particular day, Memrise only displays the number of learning events, but maybe it could add info on:
- The number of words learned in the day (or time period, if they allowed the user to select a number of tiles so the software provide info on that period)
- The total points accumulated in the day
- The amount of time spent in the day
While I’m happy there are some arbitrary info on the last 24h or the last month, I don’t get it why not empowering the user with the feature to choose any desired time interval or data parameter.
I’m curious to know how the community feels about this and what other issues are clearly missing.
