The above version is even more of a dog’s dinner than the previous release. 
Two major bugs in this release that weren’t in the previous:
-
The ability to switch to the iPhone’s normal keypad/keyboard from the memrise-specific letters has disappeared. This is a major issue because most people can type much faster on the iPhone’s normal keypad/keyboard than the randomly rendered memrise-specific letters. It means review sessions take much longer now. It’s also an issue because using the iPhone’s normal keypad/keyboard is effectively more difficult, because you don’t effectively get the clue of which letters could be in the word, as you do with the memrise-specific letters. People won’t necessarily want to be forced into using the easier mode of the memrise-specific letters.
-
Review mode used to take into consideration the number of words that needed watering/reviewing, so that you’d only review that number of words. If there were no words to review, then it would use the “words per reviewing session” setting. For example, previously, if you had 6 words to review, and the “words per reviewing session” was set to 50, you only review those 6. However, now, if you had 6 words to review, and the “words per reviewing session” is set to 50, you’ll review 50. This is for many a waste of time. I imagine most people would only want to review/water words that needed reviewing/watering. So this is a bad regression bug.
I’m off to cancel my Pro membership renewal, which was otherwise going to happen some time in April.
