I’m not learning any more words today, so I can’t verify what I’m about to say (whether it’s been fixed), but when I was in my learning sessions, the audio would play for only 2/3 of the 5 items. This made transcript courses (typing what the audio says) impossible.
@BeaTrisy, see answer/pressing escape is completely broken now. It just brings you to the next item, so there’s no way to review the definition or mems.
Thanks for the replies.
@Hydroptere. That would be the issues with preview showing a jumbled order and the image scrolling, right? Hmm… I just tested both again, and they still seem to be working normally. I hadn’t used the feature with scrolling through images prior to these updates, but if I understand correctly, the problem was that it wasn’t scrolling to the next image when pressing the arrows in the learning/review screens, right? Pressing them did nothing on my end when trying yesterday, but it seems to have the intended effect now, scrolling through the available images.
I haven’t been able to encounter the issue with speed review not loading either. It seems to work fine for me. Maybe it would help to post specific courses and levels where you’re running into the issues as examples. I could take a look to try to determine if it’s related to certain courses.
@TheFour-GatedDanzig Still no problems with audio on my end today. I tested it out a bit in a test course with audio set as the prompt too, in case that was the trigger, but I still haven’t been able to get it to refuse to play any audio yet. An example course and level would probably help here, too, if you continue to run into it later.
I’ll play around with them a bit more to see if I can figure anything out. Hopefully we’ll get an update tomorrow.

Hi @TinyCaterpillar, Yes, the image-scrolling bug I flagged-up at post number 141 above is working today in my courses. Thanks for the fix, @BeaTrisy.
Small update:
We’re currently still working on rectifying the issues reported, so keep an eye out for the next updates.
Thank you for all the information you’re providing and thank you for your patience.
Today I found that though my learning words is set to 10 words per learning session, in a learning session this limit was exceeded (in today’s particular level that was 12 words). Maybe something is off there with the newer update because this was working okay yesterday from what I remember.
Also, just wanted to again ask the staff if possible to please update us on any algorithm changes. Has there been recent changes? Are you going more towards the app’s algorithm? I feel the app’s algorithm was less efficient than what the website was and I, perhaps overly weary, feel like my words aren’t “sticking” as well as before on the website. Can you tell us your thoughts on the algorithm? Would you like some users to volunteer their learning time on a test account to test algorithm changes? I’m sure an effort could be initiated.
Things have been broken for a while. I am currently using the typing only script, but the audio still does not work right during reviews or adding new words. I only get audio when I get a word correct. There is no audio playback when I get something wrong. Hearing the words spoken when I get a word wrong is very important to help me remember.
@BeaTrisy, any news about the issues, in particular the “see answer” problem?
errr, I’m getting this error again.
And no, I don’t have scripts running.
i have the impression that see answer/escape after giving the right answer are back to normal now? what a relief…
thanks, @BeaTrisy (or to whom fixed this)
Gonna have to agree with this big time. If this was fixed then a hugely useful function was restored.
thanks for message about escape @Hydroptere, was waiting for it for so long, tired of trying it and happy I can use it again!
The useful feature that Memrise used to tell you “Sorry, you typed the [column name 2] when we wanted the [column name 1]. Try again.” and gave another opportunity to answer is still missing. Some people used this for synonyms. Since that infamous update your answer is immediately counted as wrong.
Actually, like @raito789 said, the synonym (a.k.a. other column) thing was fixed as long as you’ll type what’s “on top” of the “synonym” column, if you’ll type one of its alternatives it is marked wrong. It would be nice to have the full functionality back because there’s often more than one synonym.
That is not what I’m experiencing. For example in https://www.memrise.com/course/304124/100-jazz-standards-with-audio/ when you accidently typed the title instead of the artist you used to get another chance to answer.
audio review works
Learning is somewhat broken again.
Let’s say I have my course settings set to learn 5 words at a time (which I do). What happens is that I’m only gonna get the first 2 words until they are considered fully learned, only then come the next 2, and then comes the last one four or five times in a row.
you’re right, unfortunately; probably the algorithm was changed “to our own good”. I don’t find this new algorithm very learning conducive either…
‘not very learning conducive’… indeed, to put it mildly. If that’s for our own good, and not just a bug,then Memrise really messed up IMHO
The escape/see answer was still broken for my yesterday, but I’m hoping it’ll work today. Is it still functional for you? Yesterday all that happened was it would skip to the next item for review.
EDIT: Nope, still broken for me. Is this really working for everyone else? - because if so, I need to figure out what’s hindering my browser.
EDIT AGAIN: Okay, I turned off Memrise Forgive Typos, Memrise Catch up Review, and Memrise Wrong answer skip. I don’t know which one was the actual culprit (or if they were merging to do the damage), but now it’s working.
i said “see answer”/(escape). Usually i give the right answer and the click fast to “see answer”… today i was not penalised anymore for doing that… let me check… still working for me… i have my userscript turned on (but mine makes a lean interface, is none of cooljingle’s one)
edit: can someone from the team please confirm or infirm that these 2 items and then other 2 etc is the new learning algoritm? (i personally find this style of learning a rather bad idea…)
