Memrise - Reviews and experiences

I was so excited when I decided to go for the Lifetime membership, thinking I would get access to everything forever. But lo and behold, just a few weeks after I bought it, they went ahead and changed the whole platform on me. Now it's basically useless. Feels like a bait-and-switch if you ask me, and honestly, I'm super let down by the service.

I started using the language learning platform back in 2013 to study Japanese and other languages. It was a great tool to support my studies, offering flexibility and a variety of community courses. It wasn't perfect, but it served its purpose well. However, recent changes have left me disappointed and frustrated. The decision to move the Community Courses to a different website and discontinue them by the end of the year has really turned me off. Why invest time and effort into something that is going to vanish soon? It feels like a waste of energy. I've already started exploring other options like Anki, even though I used to prefer Memrise. The lifetime subscription I purchased now seems like a foolish investment, and I regret spending my money on it.

I purchased this product that claimed it would last a lifetime, but they ended up changing it after only a year! Can you believe that? And on top of that, they refused to give me a refund. It's totally unfair and it seems like they're just playing games with me. I mean, seriously, I had faith in them and now I feel let down. It's really disappointing that they would treat their customers like this.

I'm really bummed out about the changes the company made recently. They said they completely reprogrammed the app, but they took away important features like making your own "Community" courses in the app and being able to use it offline. People who bought a lifetime license already paid for these features. The good reviews seem to be talking about the old version of the app, and I don't think I'd want to shell out money for the new version. I'm starting to worry they might get rid of Community courses altogether in the future. I've totally lost faith in this provider.
