Web Beta Programme Feedback

Yes I have the same issue with Classic review. Getting feedback that a sentence is wrong but then not being able to see your answer in comparison to the correct answer is frustrating. Often it is taking three or four presentations for me to figure out what I am doing (missing an umlaut or some such).

Please let us see how we answered when showing the solution! To go one step forward, please highlight the incorrect part of the answer.

Cheers, Chris W.

I think it would be nice if it showed you what you typed (incorrect answer) when showing the correct answer.

Lately, after the beta-test came out, I canā€™t save any of my activities. Not sent. I donā€™t know to do with this.

Whether I get the word right or wrong, I want to be able to see it in writing. I might be able to choose the correct answer, but that doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m 100% sure of all the words/spelling/accents etc. With the new classic review, I sometimes have to deliberately choose the wrong answer just so that I can see the writing.

Also, when I get it wrong, it used to show me what Iā€™d written so that I could compare my answer to the correct answer. Now I canā€™t see that anymore.

Hi Adam, can you tell us if youā€™ll be bringing Mems back? Itā€™s a bit of a deal breaker for me as was the primary reason I used Memrise.

Hi @Ruke, yes Mems are going to be part of the product going forward. Weā€™re looking to bring them into the web product Beta before long. At the moment we have some complex payments work we are prioritising, and then updating the home screen. Mems is in line for development this year.

Hi @Natsumi4 - Iā€™m not sure what you mean. It would be very helpful if you could share a video of what you are seeing so we can understand the issue better. Would that be possible?

Thanks for your feedback. At the moment, the problem was solved somehow by itself)

Since the beta, every time I review a word it resets/increases the algorithm length. For example, learning a new word sets the next review at about 5 hours from then. If I manually review right away, it will increase the time to a day, then 6, etc. Words Iā€™ve just learned today are set to reviewed next 25 days from now, just because I wanted extra exposure time. Please address this soon.

The only fudge (way round it) I can think of is to reset the level and relearn it.

Or if the Creator has produced a Reversed level, start that one.

Hi! Please make it so that when you write the wrong answer you have to copy the right answer afterwards! For example, Iā€™m learning Spanish (Mexico) in beta and also French, which is not in beta. In French, if I write a word wrong I then get shown the correct word and have to write it out myself before progressing. In Spanish, I just get shown the correct word and then move on. I find the act of copying it out really helps me learn and makes me think about the words Iā€™m messing up. Please add this to beta!

No issues aside from the missing mem cards. Web version is good to me so far!
Iā€™d like to be able to draw characters though, especially in languages with different alphabets.

Hi @skublover,

Perhaps you could draw your characters on paper or another program then upload it as a mem image?

I find that for audio i have recorded myself, In a course i am creating, it doesnā€™t play in the new beta version. I have the same problem when in the app. I use an iphone.

@DW7
Can I already do that in the web version? I didnā€™t see an option to upload mems.
Thereā€™s also a certain order to how you draw characters. I was thinking itā€™d be nice to learn it here. If I were to just copy them how I see them, Iā€™d end up developing bad habits.

Sorry I havenā€™t tried recently, but one could years ago.

If you found a video of the order, perhaps label your strokes (on an image) by number 1, 2, 3 etc.

Can anyone else offer suggestions?

Could there be a way to go from the study session end page back to the courseā€™s page, please? I usually want to work on various units within the same course, and having to pass through the dashboard all the time is annoying and slow.

In general, the beta looks not that bad, but this end page is extremely cluttered, and the colours are horrible imho. Also, why do the flowers look as if they were drawn by a toddler? :frowning:

And is Memrise, as it is now making such huge changes, gonna fix the search function too? Itā€™s been ages since the members asked for better ways to filter courses. It looks like the search hasnā€™t improved, it is now worse than ever (the official courses getting in the way, different other languages mixing in etc).

I agree with you about your first point.

Could there be a way to go from the study session end page back to the courseā€™s page, please?

@MemriseSupport, itā€™s a different way of functioning now, and I too like to keep to a course, clearing a level and moving on to another level.

Well, I actually donā€™t like clearing the level and moving on, it really demotivates me in some cases, because I can get stuck in a too boring level.

For example now I am doing a wonderful user made course that is based on a textbook Iā€™ve bought and am learning from. I need to learn all the vocab, but I donā€™t particularly enjoy for example the sports vocab (but it will surely apply to a few other chapters later). So, I find it more motivating to switch between two or three units all the time, instead of being bored by annoying sports vocab for a too long time.

With the current design, I basically need to keep Memrise in several tables in the browser. One is the main courseā€™s page, and at least one more opened for each new learning session, based on which unit I pick. Itā€™s a bit annoying, just returning back to the courseā€™s page would be much better and let me keep it in one table.

Also, is there any good reason for this new way of functioning? And for such a cluttered screen at the end of each review or learn session? I somehow fail to see any advantage.
