Speed review now limited?

[levijamesharvey1963]

I’m currently using Memrise to learn German and I love it! The app is great for review and for moments I feeling a bit bored or unmotivated with other ways of studying. The feature I use the most is the speed review, prior to the update it would simply keep going until you lost all of your hearts or ran out of words in the review. (150 usually.) Now it is capping out at 20 or so. I’ve checked the settings and set the word review as high as I could to no avail. This could completely be fault on my part with user error. I’m curious if this may be true and if so how I can remedy or if the speed review was limited / changed in some manner in the latest update. Thanks y’all! Love the app.

Hi @levijamesharvey1963

There is already a topic about the changes.

For example, see JBorrego’s post:

As some of you are aware we have updated the Speed Review mode and it may feel a little different.

So, what’s the change? We found that the way that Speed Review was set up, we were filling it with all the words that were ready for you to review plus a whole load of other words that did not need to be reviewed to “top up” the session. This change removed those extra words so the Speed Review session just has the items you need to review. This should still be maxing out at 100 items if you have 100+ items ready for review. If, however, you have completed all your review items, then we have limited the session to your review settings limit. We want to make sure that when you are learning on Memrise you spend all your time as effectively as possible.

We know that speed review has been around in its current form for a while, but we are constantly looking to improve the effectiveness of the learning experience and we think that this is a positive change.

We are though listening to your feedback and we will be adding a 100 words review option for the users that want longer sessions.

Hey sorry it took us a little longer but we have now added a setting for you to configure speed review items up to 150. You should be able to download it from Google Play in the next hours/days.
