Rollout of the new dashboard and learning sessions experiences to all our customers

I think then you have a very good reason to buy a subscription. Judging from your experience points, the community courses must have helped you a lot. By paying a small subscription fee, you can go ad-free and support the company that is hosting the courses. :wink:

I have private courses that I only use sporadically. If I want them moved over to the new system do I need to just hold a review session once for them to be considered active again? And when would I need to do this? This month? Or later?

You do NOT need to move courses to the new platform to be able to continue using them here. So if I were you I would wait until the new Memrise platform is launched and usable, check it out, and see if you’d like to migrate your course there and if it seems to fit. In the meantime, just keep on using it on the web on the existing site.

While they did leave open the possibility of someday shutting down the old platform, that a) may never happen and b) is likely to be years away if it does happen. So you can wait and see the new platform before you decide whether you want to move to it.

johnastsang and cos have provided excellent answers to this already and thank you to them, but I wanted to reiterate you don’t need to do anything (apart from continue to enjoy your courses)
We are months away from the new system being widely available and the current system will still be there after that. As we have a more solid plan and get closer to things being ready for you all to use we will communicate this widely.

Thanks @johnastsang @cos and @James_g_memrise !

Guess I’ll just wait and see what happens. Will make sure to do some reviewing once the time is right.

I really like using this app and hope the new product will be a good one (preferably with mems and community courses😘, it’s what makes Memrise unique).

It is not really that we don’t like the new features you’re doing. It is more that we are disappointed you are removing mems that we have signed for. Mems that are even in the name of your service and are like your trademark, you know?
New design and whatever new features you’re planning to implement – all that is in the testing stage, so no one can really judge how it will turn out in the end (however, I am happy you decided to remove vids at the end of review sessions).
What we are asking for is that you leave features we love available for the time being. That’s it. Like, nothing more. You can then do whatever else features you want and we might like them as well when they’re done.

I started to use this app in 2015. I quickly bought Premium. Since this time I have used Premium. I had a 3 years break in learning, but I believed in this app and even if I didn’t learn, I keep having Premium. I love mems, I am sad that is over :frowning_face: Please let it be still alive!

Is it possible to break out all of the new comments from the past several hours into a new thread, about advertisements on the app? It’s a separate discussion from the rest of the comments here, and it would be easier to find if it were separate and had its own title that indicated it was a discussion about advertisements.

Done.

See this thread and please continue the discussion about adverts in the apps there:

Oh, can you also bring back the pause button to review/study sessions?
It was very convenient.

My Magyar-German-course "Ungarisch = Freude, Audios & Videos” went online last week. Over time the course will extend in stages.

This is the page on a computer. It pops up when you learn a word the first time:

My questions regarding the App on mobile devices:

  1. Is there a plan to get the “Memo” (picture) on the Mobil-App as well? If yes, when will it be?
  2. I can’t copy and paste the shown links. How can I do it? It works on the computer.

I am deeply disappointed and terribly frustrated that you are removing mems that I personally created for the JLPT Japanese kanji courses that my Japanese teacher painstakingly created for his students using Memrise. He chose Memrise over Anki but I guess he regrets his choice now.

I have created 400+ personal mems which help me tremedously to remember the 400+ kanji we need to know to pass the JLPT N5 and N4 exams. Reviewing these kanji without the mems I created myself will totally nullify the gains that I have made to date. If I forget the meaning of a certain kanji, I always go back to the mem to help me remember. I was planning to do this for the JLPT N3 course that my teacher created but trying to study kanji without mems to help me learn and memorize them is completely useless.

Why don’t you make a compromise and let those who created their own mems to keep them and let them be part of their customized courses? Why penalize those actually have created and use mems? Unlike those you say that don’t use mems, I absolutely do and find them to be an essential component of my learning. You can check my stats and mems. I speak the truth!

Could you post the links for the courses here? I can’t see them in your profile.

I tried the beta again. It looks like you added the repeating with only typing again? I’m really thankful for that! What I’m still missing though is an option to turn on and off the sound during a lesson. Would it be possible to add that too?

Are you a Memrise admin? These are kanji courses for my teacher’s students only. They were not created for the Memrise community or for public consumption. Unfortunately, I don’t have permission to share or post the links to the courses as I was not the one who created them. I only created customized mems for the kanji covered in the courses.
