Yep, you still can.
But that trick doesn’t fix a longterm problem with discovering something good through the app.

Yes, I don’t know why they want to filter out the non-Memrise generated course – so many languages they will never support anyway and you have to find and activate them via the web page. Hopefully they don’t remove that as well and people need to know direct URLs to add them in.
It’s not user-friendly.

Could you tell, please, is there any way to download and save your own course?
I just don’t see this option in the editing section.
You can use Anki importer.

I know this is an old thread, & forgive me if this has already been explained, but… what “engineering”?? I have over 100 words to review and I’m being prompted to learn new ones instead - and this happens quite regularly. If I’m honest, the “suggested mode” seems completely random!

There seems to be some randomness indeed. The suggested mode usually changes just by reloading the page in my browser. But some modes seem to have at times little or null weight and do not appear no matter how many times I reload the page.

To say the least, yes… And this is so irritating that they think people wouldn’t see it! Like we were complete idiots who would say: “Oh, what a real piece of engineering, they really know how to make me learn better.” I mean, they’re just showing the absolute contrary right now with this random button.
And add to this the grammarbots that are just a cheap gadget, the speed reviews that don’t improve learning at all (but the funniest is when the Next Up button shows Speed review on courses without speed review…), the difficult words that you can’t review whenever you want, the same with the classic review, etc. etc.

however, at least for the part concerning the EU: given the new legislative initiative of the Commission, it seem that copyright provisions are undergoing an “upgrade” towards US silliness (a la google, whose machines believe that white noise is copyrighted; Google/Amazon and Co and some others believe probably as well that you have to pay rights for “Guten Tag, bonjour, etc”.). Copy-pasted courses/courses copied one by one from books, might become a problem for Memrise (again).
this might explain that they avoid to show all courses on app, although, personally, I think the decision has to do with the slow kiling of the web version of memrise
It’s definitely random, no doubts. No “engineering”, no “scientific background” in that irritating “next up” button.

random to an extent which nears ridicule. I am constantly “summoned” to do classical review in courses with no items to water/courses that I just finished watering…

I just take no notice of any of these “summons” and just do what I want

how very nice and sovereign of you… I am also doing as I wish. Or did you truly think I do what the randomness spot tells me to do?
And now? Is that huge bloat on my screen “summoning” me to do this and that a welcome addition?
No, I didn’t. You mentioned somewhere else that you ignored the “next up” button.
I am just surprised that so many people haven’t realized that you don’t have to pay any attention to at all.
If you just click on the course of your choice, you can do whatever you want with it, just like we always could.

Thank’s to the developers for finally fixing the issue with classic reviews. The website version is now back to being almost as it was prior to the update except for the whole ‘pointlessly hiding buttons behind another button’ thing but I can live with that.

“Auto correct” is fixed - works now for offical Memrise 1-7 courses:
These force nowadays “strict-typing” when you use Cooljingle’s “all typing” user script, even they are configured (and were working well before the last update) as “non-strict-typing” for single words).

I hate this new version so much. Memrise used to be my favourite thing and I recommended it to all my friends. Now it takes forever to load, doesn’t let me review easily, the avatar is ugly and not creative anymore, and there’s no incentive to continue streaks. I could go on and on but basically everything I loved about it is gone. So like, does anyone have any suggestions for other language learning sites?

I jumped ship to anki as a consequence of everything going down here. It’s not that easy to use, but after a little bit of effort you have a lot more freedom to create the courses the way you want, define your personal learning interval (even per course), get all the difficult word lists you want (the last x days e.g.), you don’t have to be online to keep your streak, lots of statistics if you are into that etc. You can integrate sound, pics, html-code even. Haven’t tried other alfabets though, but that should also work.
