Membean

Everything is terrible. The pictures have a quality of 180p. You will never use these words in real life. The site is dated. Don't use. Doesn't teach students anything.

I understand why some educators favor this app. It is much easier to use than traditional vocabulary methods. However, the entire process in which it tries to teach you is outdated and ineffectual. It will give you a question and ask you to type the correct word, but there will be several words that could fit in the space. It has a hint button, but you are only allowed to use it once, and half the time it will just be an E or A, thus making it unhelpful. Plus, the whole 15 minute thing is way too long, and most people just turn it on, do 5 problems and then let it sit instead of doing the work. In addition, you aren't allowed to spread out the 15 minute sessions over the course of several days. You are required to do all 15 minutes on the same day, otherwise it doesn't count. Plus, the entire site is outdated, glitchy, and laggy. In the image below, you can see how vague some of the questions are. There are hundreds of words that began with IN that could have that definition.

As an educator, and a user of Membean for quite some time, I have been absolutely astounded at how abysmal it is at teaching what it was promised to do for my students. Membean is advertised as a learning tool to greatly expand upon students' vocabulary, however, their website is extremely outdated, constantly buffering whenever my students are on it. Not only is it an extremely slow website, but the educational videos to further learn about the certain word or topic contain profanity. Upon my discovery of this, I instantly knew Membean could be no longer. To put it simply, if you are also an educator, or even a student, don't bother ever using Membean.

This is a terrible site. I really dislike it. We have to do it for over an hour a week, and it's so mind-numbing and boring. It's not that great, and sure it helps you learn vocabulary words, but still. It's even more boring than I-ready. Please make this site more fun, or at least less boring.

It sucks so have a picture of something idk i havent planned it out yet, also it kinda sucks idk dndndn

I need to do 45 minutes of Membean a week. I don't understand why people don't like this website. I think it's fun, I like learning new words. Sure, it gets tiresome at times, but it's so beneficial.

I am forsed to do 15 minites at least 3 times a week and if I don't do it my grades will drop and that will lead to bad stuff but its the most boring site I've been on in a while so I don't want to do it because my mind isn't stimulated like at least more animations would help

It focuses on new words that are very new to me, a placement test also set before you start. It goes beyond traditional and everyday words and focuses on advanced words to be learned.
