Strictly not a bug, but having just been given an iPhone 4 running iOS 7 I wanted to download the MemRise app, only to be told I need iOS 9 (ie a modern phone).
Shame as I wanted to join the experience on an app as well as testing the many courses I’ve created and am supporting here on the web.
Is there a ‘lighter’ or earlier software version?
Use the web version with iOS/Safari on your phone.
Thanks @khx333, I do that alrready but wanted to see how the courses looked viewed using the app.
What little I have seen, when I have encouraged others to try it, has been most interesting, as it looks and feels so different.
Also see this thread:
For Android it works searching for “Android Memrise apk (archive)”.
There are achive sites which store older app versions.
In the spec often it says what OS version you need to have (e.g Android >=4.4).
I would give it a go if the older version can still connect your online account / login.
You may just miss one of the features like bots, grammarbots, speak with natives, depending on Pro-mode and when all those features were introduced.
Thanks @Thomas.Heiss

Just what I wanted. - I’ll give it a try.
Can one of the MemRise team point me in the right direction please?
@Joshua @lurkmoophy @Lien or other?
As far as I know you can’t get older versions of the iOS app. However, we’re currently working on making the website fully responsive, so the mobile experience on the web should be a lot better in the coming months!
Many thanks for your reply and information @lurkmoophy.

Just wondered if you had the older versions stored on a server with a known URL.
so the mobile experience on the web . . .
That should be interesting. If I understand you correctly the web version viewed from a mobile (eg phone or tablet) will look like the App.
Will it be like the iOS or Android version? (Cc @alanh & @Thomas.Heiss ).
I hope the computer (MAC or PC) web browser versions will remain like they are now as many of us long-standing faithful and committed contributors prefer that version.
Responsive design basically means that a website adapts to the screen size etc of the device used, it does not mean that it will look or work like the app for that platform. An app is a very different animal from a responsive website.
Thanks I was hoping it was that.
I can’t speak for Memrise or their plans but that is at least what responsive design means.
With today’s HTML 5 Javascript support with most mobile browsers you could get pretty close to natiive-style UI design – as a side benefit it also scales across all platforms, mobile or non-mobile.
