Memrise CEO just published blog post about changes to website and app

Many thanks for that information. elfendertig

I understand that to mean, that many users are on the new format but are having problems so others can't join it until it's sorted.

Interesting because I was hopping between the two a while back.

DW7 because I was hopping between the two a while back.

I was also constantly hopping back and forth. Although the synchronisation was taking really long each time (while there was nothing new to synchronise) after their official launch of the new experience.

I've just found that "Learn with Locals" now also works on the web (I didn't think it did before) IF you go from the MemRise Dashboard (not the course details and levels page).

DW7 its been working since I first started with Memrise in early January.

schlick Thanks - quite possibly - I've never gone via the Dashboard - but click onto the course then selected.

I just got an email from Memrise saying that the community courses at app.memrise.com will end March 31.

Japanese:

2024年3月31日をもって、皆さまが学習されているユーザーコミュニティのコースを別のウェブサイトに移行することをお知らせします。
community-courses.memrise.com
すでに公開されているので、今すぐお試しください。

We will move to community-courses.memrise.com, where the classic official courses are not available.

FWIW, I received the same email, albeit in German.

I suppose all mails contain a link to the following page which includes somewhat chaotic (IMHO) information.
Here's the link: https://www.memrise.com/blog/changes-to-the-memrise-app?lid=u5wv4x11xsq9

The most important piece of information within the blog post:

All community courses will be retired from memrise.com and the Memrise apps on March 31st. 2024

And:

Community courses will live in the new URL at least until the end of 2024

And last but not least:

Q: Will I be able to access Community Courses on mobile apps?

A: Community Courses will only be accessible on community-courses.memrise.com. They won’t be accessible via the Memrise app past March 31st 2024, but you can use the new website in a mobile web browser and create a shortcut for it on your mobile phone or tablet. You can find instructions on how to do this here for Android, and over here for iOS.

I have tried working on my CCs on my Android mobile in the browser a while ago but found it to be unusable.

Olaf.Rabbachin Thanks. I agree that it is somewhat chaotic.

Erm, why was my post (2 further up) flagged as "deleted"? I can still see it though.

7shi

Olaf.Rabbachin I can still see it, too.

Maybe it was just a glitch - the posting is looking "normal" again. It might as well be a permission problem - I always wonder as to why I seem to be able to edit other folks' postings (haven't ever tried it). Maybe someone else may also delete postings. 🤷

It's a returning glitch. See my posts https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/118-memrise-ceo-just-published-blog-post-about-changes-to-website-and-app/34 en 37 in this very thread.

I recently purchased a lifetime membership of memrise, only to have the community courses pulled out from underneath me… the whole reason I became a lifetime member. Memrise doesn't currently offer any Catalan courses - so I just got screwed… and end of March there won't be an app to use community Catalan course on my phone anyways. I don't see the point of memrise trying to be another "duolingo." I've sent them some complaints but it's all pretty disappointing. I liked memrise and to me it doesn't make any sense what they are doing. It's like they don't know who they are and are trying to be someone else. Very sad.

Olaf.Rabbachin

Jezer Depending on how recently you bought the lifetime sub you may still be able to cancel it …

Olaf.Rabbachin

Thanks Olaf, I got a refund as I was within the period.

Q: When will you shut down this new URL? How long do I have to access my community courses?

A: Community courses will live in the new URL at least until the end of 2024

Q: What will happen to my community courses after you shut the new site down?

A: Before we do, we’ll have a way to give you your word lists in a format that allows you to take them, and continue to learn them, somewhere else. After we shut down, they will still exist in this format for you.

The latest post from MemRise says there will be a new home (URL) for community courses.

I have two questions:

How long will they remain there?
Will the web version maintain the many Multimedia levels we have created (these are helpful).

@[deleted] have you been able to import the multimedia levels (and attributes) and do you have any plans to display them in a similar way to the MemRise web currently?

(Not sure if this was the best thread to post this comment - feel free to move it.)

PS The answer to Qu 1 is …

DW7 Will the web version maintain the many Multimedia levels we have created (these are helpful).

I can answer this: Yes, they are there.

In app.memrise.com, classic official courses are still available.

It seems that they are not forced to switch to the new experience. The current status may be maintained for the rest of this year.

DW7

Good morning all. I'm not sure where else to ask a question about MemRise.

The App no longer (as advertised) lists any Community Courses (just their own 1 to 7 and a few others as 7shi has pointed out), but what has happened about the new experience and the removal of the 1 to 7 structure?

Is there any announcement about that?

Thankfully our courses are still present and work on the Web version.

I'm on the website but I suppose it's the same problem on the app. I just asked about the access to New Memrise again because I hadn't heard any news from them in 2 months. They answered this:

We're sorry you've been unable to access the new Memrise content and features. We've had to temporarily stop users moving to the new experience while we iron out some problems faced by users that have already been migrated. If you would like to be opted into the New Memrise, please submit your email via this form and we will switch your account as soon as we can.
