in General is fine, interesting and decently good to learn but the test study seems broken, the vocabulary part throws the coding of words instead of the actual word (in German at least). it's also hard to understand what to do in some of the test and once one has clicked on trying the test section, one can't go back, needs to finish the registration to be able to use the app. I don't want to share my user in a place like the app store, sorry.

Really sorry to hear this. Could you send me your username (support@memrise.com) and I'll try to work out what is going wrong. Also which browser are you on?

The app is really buggy. I wasted money on a subscription. The videos sometimes take a very long time to load or don't load at all even on a good Internet connection. The lesson where you have a conversation with a bot/AI is very very basic and almost useless. The first option is always the right option and if you enter anything else, the app breaks. Overall, it needs a lot of improvement. Definitely not worth paying for it.

Good learning method but crashes often. I like the way they teach you how to speak, write and read at the same time. But after each "unit" it keeps coming up with an error message that my internet connection was lost and you have to start over until it saves your progress. You have to buy premium which is quite pricy to do anything more that absolute basic. If the app didn't crash all the time I'd consider buying the full version.
