The Beginner’s Finnish Course is still showing the problem. Nowadays audio lessons don’t work correctly on the web app either! Same problem as the others have screenshoted: Not audio is seemingly loaded.
The web app problem ist similar: Options of audio questions don’t get red, but only the correct answer actually plays when clicking on it, making these lessons somewhat nonsensical. Since you can’t see what’s going on in a screenshot I hope this will suffice.
I’m sorry to hear you’re still having issues with this. Could you try logging out and logging back into the app. This usually causes the app to refresh the data it has stored, and could help fixing the issue.
The problem you describe sounds similar to the one I’m having lately with a few of the Spanish courses I’m taking, which I reported in this other topic Audio Bug. I’m only getting it for the ‘3 option’ listening tests (on the web version). Hope they can find a fix soon. (Edit: This particular bug has been fixed today. )
Also, I keep getting an error message for HSK 4 and cannot open it. I tried shutting down my iPad but should I also sign out and sign back in to the app?
Greetings. I have seen incremental improvements in how the audio works across “Learn Advanced French-No Typing” and other non-Memrise created French courses since my original post. I’ll have to use the app a bit more to see if I bump into anything to report.
I’ve just had a play around on the iOS app version of my Finnish course on my iPad and found that it does have some different behaviours to the web version regarding the audio files. [You will probably have noticed that not every item in my course has an associated audio file attached. It’s mostly the phrases which don’t.]
In the iOS app version, when I choose the “Learn New Words” option from the course homepage, I hear the audio file on first presentation of a new item. After being shown a second new item, when the first item is next presented as a test, a correct answer does not play the audio file (although it does in the web version - and I don’t know why Memrise treats these differently) but an incorrect answer repeats the ‘new item learning screen’ which then does play the audio file.
Also in the iOS app version, if I scroll to a ‘level page’ and tap on it and then tap on “Learn New Words” I get the same behaviour as described above. Similarly, if I tap on the ‘planting seed’ icon next to an item in the ‘level page’, I hear the audio file for that particular item.
I know, from the FAQ section that the screen layout on the iPhone (I don’t have one) is a little different to the iPad but the icons are similar and I would expect them to behave in a similar way. I hope that BeaTrisy can identify why they don’t and come up with a solution for you. As previously mentioned, I think the problem with the ‘3 option’ listening test is a different, specific bug. I was experiencing that one a week or so ago on the web version but it was fixed a few days ago.
Sorry to not be much help, and thanks for trying my course.
The same problem exists for French Verbs for the following words:
comprendre,agacer,celebrer, gener, encourir envoyer,etablir,commander,chanter,consommer,soumettre,gouter,balayer
Same problem here across the different Japanese-language courses. Logged out and back in but it does not seem to fix the issue - although I must recognise that it seems that there is more audio available now
Just a quick note, I’ve left my role at Memrise more than a year ago.
I’m more than happy to engage and have a chat as a fellow language learning enthusiast, but please be aware that I am no longer in a position to support with queries, neither do I have the desire to do so.
Please address your query to the Memrise support or QA team.
Thank you so much for being an engaged member of the community, and I would be more than happy to have conversations over a shared love of the french language.
