What other learners are saying

"I've been using Memrise for about two years, studying European Portuguese. I have the paid version - it's a solid learning tool, and it has been my primary resource ever since got it. I find the Learn with Locals feature to be especially useful, more so as my Portuguese improves. My wife and I spent a couple of weeks in Portugal a few months ago, and we were able to handle all of our transactions - stores, restaurants, markets, car rental, etc!" - Voloúre

### 3/5 — Repetitive

*2026-08-25, version 2026.8.10*

I know to learn you need to repeat but I did teşekuler 1000 times but learnt a bit keeping it too

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-08-25, version 2026.8.10*

The reason I loved this app so much was that it allowed for amazing free learning without a paywall, and paying for a subscription just allowed for cool perks. Now the free stuff can’t be used continuously without a subscription. Like why can’t I do a speed review multiple times in a day if I haven’t reviewed all words? I was able to a week ago! I’m so disappointed. I wanted to subscribe to the lifetime subscription because of how much I loved the free version, but now they’re locking basic stuff behind a paywall. I recommended this app to all my friends because of how much you can get for free, but now the quality is going downhill. Boo.

### 4/5 — Script font is tiny

*2026-08-24, version 2026.8.10*

Generally, I like the app however when learning a script like Farsi the font is extremely tiny it’s very hard to see!  Please make it bigger!! Also have practice for Script writing like Duo-lingo does for Hindi script it’s so helpful
When you have no experience with those characters to learn the alphabet too.

### 2/5 — التطبيق مخربط

*2026-08-23, version 2026.8.10*

بي الكثير من الازرار يدوخ خلو نضام التطبيق بسيط و على شكل لعبه

### 1/5 — I hate this app

*2026-08-22, version 2026.8.10*

i’m trying to Learn Spanish and it didn’t even let me even learn it even though I put my phone number my first name and my last name and my email it didn’t let me get in the app, even though I did what it told me too, so I recommend to not get this app it’s stupid

### 2/5 — Bad audio

*2026-08-22, version 2026.8.10*

The audio stops working. I have to stop in the middle of the session to close the app and reopen it for the audio to work again, which makes me lose my track.

### 1/5 — A stunningly awful, AI-slop language app in a sea of awful, AI-slop language apps

*2026-08-20, version 2026.8.10*

I tried Memrise years ago, before the app, and liked it, so a positive experience with the free version of the app was enough for me to pay what I thought was a reasonable price for all-access.
Within 6 months, all actual learning content had been swapped out for broken versions: vocabulary lessons with some words having a blank instead of a translation, or some vocab “words” that were not words, but were compound sentences using tenses and phrases I was never taught. There were—and still are—multiple choice questions that have the same answer for 3 of 4 options, which means even if you know the answer, you’ll probably be wrong. The video section that once had original content from native speakers is now flooded with stolen videos from creators on YouTube who offer their videos for free—but Memrise is using in its paid service, without credit and probably without compensation for the creator, who originally offered it FOR FREE. And as if all that wasn’t bad enough—and it most assuredly is—Memrise added the dreaded AI “helper”bots, just like every other corner-cutting language app out there. Naturally, the bots were messy and never worked right, but I was told to just wait it out because they were still in beta. The myriad of other, bot-unrelated issues I pointed out were, of course, ignored. And then something happened that would be so much funnier if I hadn’t paid Memrise for an all-access lifetime sub. It had been a few months, so I decided to see if the bots were “out of beta,” and had improved from when I last used them. That time, I had had been given quizzes with no questions because the AI “forgot” to include them??? Surely, it was a little better now, right? No. For the first question, it asked me to translate a simple phrase using the pronoun “je” (“I”), which is literally the first word you learn in French. I responded, using “je” as I had been instructed, and the bot marked it wrong. When I asked why, it told me the correct pronoun for “I” is “tu” (which actually means “you”). Flummoxed, I responded that je means I, and tu means you. Again, I cannot stress this enough, these are words you will learn immediately in any French course. There’s no excuse for getting that wrong in a language course, much less a paid one. However, things quickly descended into a bizzaro world as the bot told me that yes, je is I, but I had used tu. No, I explained, I had definitely used je; it was in the log from moments ago. At this point, the bot told me that je was not the correct answer, and repeated the question to point out my mistake once again. But it wasn’t the same question. It literally changed the entire question so it could insist I was wrong the whole time. What is this app doing, besides not teaching me French? What parallel universe did Memrise get their bots from and why am I being used as their test subject? I wrote to Memrise several times about the unprecedented uselessness of their bots and their app, asking to be refunded since I was somehow taught a negative amount of French by a bot that told me “je” means “you,” and “tu” means “I.” Obviously they never responded. Please save yourself and your money. Don’t give this app even a single cent. It’s that bad.

### 5/5 — Idk

*2026-08-19, version 2026.8.10*

This app has helped me so much

### 3/5 — A

*2026-08-18, version 2026.8.10*

It’s not my favorite app for Korean, but it works well and I like it

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-17, version 2026.8.10*

This app is so awesome. It helps me learn how to speak Portuguese. It is so useful. I love it! This is why I give this a five star review
