Billing fixed, a bit slow

Support corrected a double charge and explained Premium features clearly. Response took about a day, which was fine, just not instant.

Helpful, with a few quirks

Daily practice kept me consistent and the new videos feel more real than flashcards. Sometimes I wanted slower captions, but I kept learning and stayed engaged.

Videos made it stick

Creating an account was simple and the videos from native speakers helped phrases click. The app’s review cycles were easy to follow. I liked how pronunciation practice gave quick feedback.

Easy start, fun streaks

Signed up with Apple, picked Spanish, and the short videos made day one simple. Some community decks are web-only now, but the official course flows nicely.

Video that clicked

A native speaker said the phrase with that exact vibe I hear on reels. Lightbulb moment. I tried it at a cafe, grin unlocked.

I've used Memrise for a long time, and it used

I've used Memrise for a long time, and it used to be a good language-learning app. Sadly, recent updates have been letdowns. The sudden removal of community courses, without any notice, has made it hard to find and use them again, and many of these courses lost their app functions too soon. The move of community lessons to a new online site has not gone well, with the new site often not working as it should. Also, the AI-powered learning tools have limited content and don't fit the student's level, making them not very useful for learning. The move towards a more game-like method has made it harder to pick up new words efficiently. To make matters worse, my subscription was renewed automatically without any warning, and I don't even remember setting this up. Overall, the new design and features feel like a big step back in terms of learning quality.

I am unimpressed with Memrise.

I am unimpressed with Memrise. They auto-renewed my subscription without warning. Since I switched from Android to iPhone, I couldn't cancel easily. Also, the Japanese course got too hard too fast. They didn't warn about the difficult kanji. I quit after a short time. Maybe it's better for other languages, but not for Japanese.

Memrise is planning to remove all community-made courses from their platform.

Memrise is planning to remove all community-made courses from their platform. It's a shame. I purchased a lifetime subscription mainly for these community courses, especially for offline use. When I contacted them about my situation, they refunded the full amount of my lifetime subscription fee from last year. Their policy seems fair to me, and I appreciate it.

This platform is alright

This platform is alright for practicing a new foreign language, but some stuff is quite irritating. Learning a long sentence and repeating it in practice is pointless. I'd rather learn new single words than long sentences. I enjoy learning with video recorded natives in Memrise. It's very motivating. The point system is messed up. When you hit level 15 or 16, there's no point in gaining new points because the gaps between levels are too big.

The app used to be decent

The app used to be decent. I had a paid membership for 25 euros a year last year. But now, the price has skyrocketed to 120 euros a year, which is a huge increase. Reading other comments here, it seems like a bad upgrade might be on the way, so this might turn into a similar situation I experienced with Duolingo.

I've been with Memrise for quite some

I've been with Memrise for quite some time. It used to be a good app. However, the recent update and the shift of community learning lessons to a new online platform seem problematic. From what I've observed, it doesn't function well. Additionally, the AI learning trial had only a few lessons available, leaving me with nothing new to learn. Given that I renewed my subscription in January, I'm quite disappointed with the current state of things.

DISAPPOINTING. Initially engaged

DISAPPOINTING. Initially engaged with a promising course that gradually enhanced skills. Abruptly, access was cut off. Memrise's recent overhaul resulted in a disheartening shift to user-generated content. The outcome is dismal—a lackluster collection of lessons presented carelessly, tarnishing the overall experience.

This company's recent changes are

This company's recent changes are disappointing. Depending on community courses for teaching, the abrupt removal from the app caught me off guard. Despite promises of a new app in the fall, the changes happened prematurely, causing inconvenience in accessing courses. Locating my courses became challenging, and the app's functionality for these courses disappeared months earlier than expected.

Щоденні 10 хв працюють

Слова оновлюються через спейзд-репітішн, прикольно. Відео з носіями мотивують. Окупиться, якщо не лінуватись.

Короткі відео тримають фокус

Подобається Speed Review і кліпи з носіями. Слова прилипає швидко, офлайн виручає в дорозі. За підписку ок, якщо займаєшся щодня.

Підтримка ок, AI-чат сируватий

Запитав про нові фічі. Відповіли чемно, але з чатом ще працювати і працювати. Основні режими стабільні.

Словник летить, граматика легша

Думав, що покриє граматику глибше. Насправді блискуче для лексики і вимови, решту треба добирати. Платні фічі інколи кусаються.

Швидко розвіяли плутанину з Pro

Написав, бо не бачив старі меми. Сапорт пояснив, що частину повернули у вебі, дав посилання. Все стало ясно.
