OmgThis app is really annoying. It’s really frustrating.👎🏻🤦🏻‍♀️.Version: 6.2.1

RiggedReally stressful for kids and it shouldn’t be it should be some where where they can learn about tons of subjects. When you go from a 99 to an 82 it’s really stressful to get back up there even if you just get one question wrong. This is usually where teachers go to give their students an assignment they’re currently teaching. And its not good because it puts a lot of stress to our minds. Which can lead to many bad things. To be honest, you might wanna consider cutting us kids some slack because some of us had worked super hard to get to that 100. Oh and one more complaint just coming from myself. I was once and at 81 and then got the next question right and got up to an 82! I wasn’t in the challenge zone! I was still in the 80s! The challenge zone is where you only get one point one question when you’re in the 90s! This might be a silly complaint but still consider fixing this app. It’s actually kind of a game which is most games. CONSIDER IT!! Some kids and I have too have had tears in our eyes because of the stress this app causes us. Staying up late and trying to to this so we can get a passing grade. Update: For example, when you do a couple problems and get to like a 60 the difficulty automatically changes! You could at least try to make it harder as we go not if we just get to one question.Version: 5.1.0

Not motivatingI never wanna do IXL because it is so unmotivating you should try prodigy and it is WAY better the first time I tried prodigy I played it for hours.Version: 5.2.0

This is too hard!I have been using this to do my math lessons for about a year but when I get one wrong it brings me down so low! It really stresses me out and when I make my way back up, I get one wrong and it knocks me all the way down. When I use to be in class we would have our time to finish our lessons and I would hear my classmates get stressed and say, “Nooooooo!” At home I do it the most because I don’t want my classmates hear me get stressed and cry. I have a little bit of anger issues and when I get really frustrated I break down and cry. This isn’t helping. I know you didn’t make this app to stress kids out but it does! And when I get to the 90’s it goes up by 1! And if it brings you down you go down like 6 points! It takes me so long to finish a lesson because of this. I wrote this because I’m stressing right now! I put $5.00 as my answer and it said I was wrong so I scrolled down and it just said $5. I got it wrong because I put and decimal and 2 zeros at the end?! That made me mad. I’m am currently stressed and I don’t want my friends to be stressed anymore, please at least fix the point problem. Thank you..Version: 5.1.0

Some questions doesn’t make senseSome of the questions doesn’t make sense, all though I am the son who is writing this my mom allowed me to download it on my device, but that fact doesn’t matter, most of the word questions doesn’t make sense, its either the grammar or the fact I’m stupid. There is also some questions which needs you to be very specific with your answers like if the answers is 5 . 6 and your answer is 6 . 5 you will get it wrong, I would suggest making this type of questions have multiple ways of answering this or put a note saying to put your answers in ascending/descending order. But it’s still a good learning app.Version: 4.3.0

This app is just absolutely HORRIBLE!This app doesn’t help kids at all. I mean, it only teaches children to CHEAT! I know that because I listen to my friends and classmates at school, and they say this app is horrible. I don’t why this app got a rating of 4.2. This app is so stupid! I mean the examples don’t even help, and your trying to let the children themselves?! Absolutely crazy! If you want to teach kids, give better examples. When I was in 4th grade I didn’t even know what the example means! Another thing, why do you even take points off? I downloaded this app on my 7 year old cousin’s iPad, and when she was at 98, she went all the way down to 83! Just because she got it ONE wrong! I mean, I understand if you take like 3 to 4 points off, but not like 15 or 16. Sometimes, this app makes makes me VERY stressed. And sometimes it takes me days to finish. Why does it have to be SO hard. Some people may like the app, but NOT me. I definitely agree with the people how say this app is bad. Maybe add some improvements, by some, I mean A LOT..Version: 8.4

AwfulNot only does IXL frustrate me but it irritates many other kids. I use IXL for my math homework everyday and it is horrible towards my motivation. For one thing, the “smart score” holds students back. If you get one answer wrong, your smart score goes down. You can’t fully complete the skill unless it’s at 100. If im struggling with the topic, I lose interest in the subject and in trying to get a better grade. This is because the more you get wrong, the longer it’ll take to complete it. Extremely time consuming. That is what causes kids like me to get upset. I’d rather be playing outside then sitting down for 3 hours straight with my dad trying to help get my smart score higher. I honestly think that the skill doesn’t really help you at all with the topic anyway. If you have any confusion on the topic and you’re getting a lot of answers incorrect, it doesn’t try to explain it in another way either. If it explained things to be in a different way my understanding of the subject might be better. IXL could be a better learning experience if some changes were made..Version: 7.2.1

Good reviewDo you like platypuses or leopard seals.Version: 7.2.2

Ixl is very very evilIt doesn’t teach anything kids just look up the answers. It should die like my phone did. It should burn in H E double hockey sticks. Ixl bully’s me because once I was at an 82 and I accidentally pressed the wrong answer and it took me all the way down to a 69. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 it’s also racist because I’m Mexican and it makes burrito jokes to me. But like does it expect me to wear a sombrero and hold tacos???????? Also have you seen the TikTok’s where people pop their backs with those hump things. I should get one of those my back it bad. We should give ixl encouragement to cancel it’s self and have everyone forget it like everyone forgot James Charles and Shane Dawson. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡💅😡😡💅💅😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😻😻😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 7.2.2

BadThis is bad it gives the wrong answers!.Version: 6.4.3

Needs improvementEven though this is a OK app, I think it needs more improvement. Hi, I’m Linda. I’m doing yr5 IXL and in some of them, I put things like for English, I do The enormous new theme park and it goes NE NE!! It’s THE NEW ENORMOUS THEME PARK. SERIOUSLY, WHAT I DID WAS ALSO ALRIGHT. EVERYTHING DOESN’T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO ACCURATE!! For example you are up to 99 on a task. You get the last question wrong. BOOM! Down to 82! You SERIOUSLY NEED TO STOP!! I SPENT THREE HOURS, WORKING ON THE TASK, DOUBTING EVERY SINGLE ANSWER, AND YET YOU DO THIS TO ME?! After all of this I have just said, please I M P R OV E!! Otherwise, I will have to just quit my membership and complain to you EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. You can’t excel at anything in IXL if you feel like BANGING YOUR HEAD ON A WALL EVERY TIME YOU GET A QUESTION WRONG WHEN YOU’VE SPENT THREE HOURS DOUBTING YOUR ANSWERS..Version: 7.1.0

STOP THE TORTUREIXL is torturing our children. It makes them rage quit constantly, become discouraged and get stressed. Being angry and stressed has scientific evidence of having an impact on your health. IXL escorts negative emotions (stress, discourage and anger) to the victims that are our children. This DOESN’t help AT ALL. This app can also have impacts on the mental health of children. So IXL has a negative impact on both physical and mental health. These people who created this app have serious issues, are VERY GREEDY and don’t care about our children’s health. Let’s work together to stop TORTURING our children. I wish I could rate this MUCH LESS THAN 0.Version: 5.4.0

I love ixLI love ixl It’s so fun I do it every day It’s so much fun.Version: 7.1.0

HorribleThis app has made several children stay up all night to get ixls done. This app is super stressful for kids because of its point system and poorly explained video tutorials. The point system is just all messed. Let’s say your score is around 60. You miss one. The score goes down. That’s it’s first flaw. It goes down. And not to mention when you get the next answer right it goes up LESS then what it was BEFORE you missed the question. This can cause you to be at an 83 and go down to a 65. It should not go down like that. Next the tutorials. There has not been a single tutorial that has helped me at all. They are porky explained and don’t cover anything for the harder levels of the assignment. Example I was doing a scale factor ixl. I forgot how to do scale factors with a fraction. So I watched the tutorial video. It showed nothing of what to do. The only hit of fractions it had also had the option of whole numbers. So what did they do? Instead of having on exposing how to do it with fractions they just did the same thing they done earlier in the video. Not to mention there was decimals in the ixl as well. The video didn’t explain how to do it with a decimal. This app is just straight up bad. The only reason you’d want this is to stress out a child. That’s it. Thank you for your time..Version: 8.0

Terrible and DiscouragingI have broke my iPad from rage many times >:(|.Version: 5.1.0

Too hard on kidsI am a parent and a teacher. I really like the concept behind IXL and find the choices of skills very thorough. It is a great learning tool in many respects. My kids used to love it because they would get stars they could click on for prizes. The problems come in when a child gets something wrong (or simply puts in a comma for a number like “1,000” when the app is designed to expect “1000”). IXL will mark them wrong and take them back at least 10-20%, after which they can only get back extremely slowly. My daughter has sat at the computer in tears and bawled about how “mean” it is. Due to all the frustration, complaints, and tears from kids and parents, my children’s school stopped offering IXL this year and switched the it subscription over to Prodigy. I actually switched my own kids over to Time4Learning to practice because it is much less harsh. It will tell them what they got wrong and explain the reason without expecting them to do a huge portion of the lesson all over again to regain their points. I would encourage the people behind this app to seriously consider revamping how they tackle “wrong” answers and typos. I get that a kid can need a little more practice, but when it sets them back so terribly far, it takes all the joy of their successes away form them and leaves them devastated. Not good:(!.Version: 4.8.1

😠It put me back so far if i get a question wrong..Version: 5.1.0

You are killin’ meEvery single day I enjoy my time but then that one time I have to do 2hrs of you! I like you ixl I enjoy doing it but increasing by 2 decreasing by 7! Is that really fair? Also I don’t get some concepts every time I get a question wrong and I look at the definition same! How are you teaching us something if you keep giving the same definition!.Version: 8.4.1

Not happyI cancelled this subscription months ago and I am still being charged every month. I am waiting to hear back from them to see what has happened - I hope this gets resolved satisfactorily.Version: 4.7.0

TrashDon’t download IXL just don’t.Version: 7.3

A STUPID APPCan’t believe how stupid this app is!!! It like hell! Don’t buy it it bc cost like 100 dollars and you lose 10 points when you get 1 wrong out of a 100 points and you only get 2 points each question.Version: 6.5.1

Too Hard On Kids.Ok you might think that I am crazy because I am a kid. But no. My mom, dad, and my teachers think that this is WAY TOO HARD ON KIDS. So today I had to do a IXL (because quarantine)I was on 81 then I got a question wrong it brought me back to 39. Sometimes it says I get a question wrong but really I look at what they put the right answer is and that was the answer I out. Also I think that you should give kids a second chance. If you want to give your students less stress DO NOT BUY THIS!!! It is a waste of money! Please just use a different app this is HORRIBLE!! If i could I would give it a 0 star rating but u can’t do that. GO EASIER ON KIDS!!! This app made me and my classmates cry. It should be shut down. Use Prodigy Math Games it is fun because you are a wizard and you get to defeat monsters it encourages kids to learn. Delete IXL and get Prodigy Math Games!!!Thank you for your reading this and please take my suggestions! ITS ONE YEAR LATER AND I STILL THINK THIS IS THE WORST APP EVER. IF I COULD PUNCH ANYONE IN THE FACE I WOULD CHOOSE THE PERSON THAT MADE IXL!!!! DONT TORTURE YOUR KID!! DONT USE IXL!!!!.Version: 6.4.3

Please ReadI’ve just been going through random reviews. I just want to say, well, these words I’m not allowed to say, so I won’t. I hate Ixl. Sure, it does teach you how to do it, and the prizes are cute, but, listen up. I’m an a+ student. I got 108% on my last math test, so I think I know what I’m talking about. “You’re either part of the solution or part of the problem.” - Leroy Eldredge Cleaver. You chose. Because so many kids end up in tears because how stressful it is, and how it takes you so far back if you get one question wrong, Ixl is part of the problem. I love my teacher, but anyone who make kids, or victims, do this, are part of the problem too. It is just so stressful, and it’s so hard. I will get one or two wrong, but with this it makes you so stressed that it ends up making you get ten times the problems wrong. It took me about 45 minutes I’d guess on my math test and I got everything right. Well once I spent an hour on this and got about 20% of the questions wrong. Don’t torture kids with this app. I rate it 0 stars..Version: 6.3.1

Better than the computer, and less harshI downloaded this on my phone to make us easier than going on the laptop, and it is. It is much less harsher than the lap top and I like it better. Only problem is how many points it takes away if you get it wrong. Especially if you actually got it right, but you typed a letter wrong or added a comma. If someone gets it wrong, take away less points. It would save lots of frustration. Also the prizes. Boring. Not very motivational for anyone above the age of six. If there were bonuses or something you could use to lose less points that would be nice. For example, instead of getting a prize like a shoe or a boat, you would get a save that you could use during a skill. If applied when losing points, you could lose less points. I hate when I want to get it over with but I lose points right at the last question. Except for that, no problem with it. Been using for two years. Definitely try it out, see if u like it. 👍🏼👍🏼.Version: 5.3.0

Fix it!!!The scoring system is super stupid and dumb and some of the questions don’t even make sense! Also when you learn at year five but then change to year six it becomes super hard!! Fix them and it will be a great app. Overall just try for yourself and see..Version: 4.2.0

Wow just wowThe fact that I have been using this app for less than a day and I’m already giving it a one star is just sad I’ve done one lesson and am sure I’m deleting this app. The fact that it takes 7-12 points from you for accidentally pressing a wrong button is just pitiful the concept isn’t bad but the fact that I loose 12 points on a type-o is just ridiculous! I already knew what I was doing too I haven’t been learning anything new so I’m glad I’m quitting now to any parents I would not recommend but don’t take my word for it but literally everyone’s word I promise you there will be yelling from you kids about how dumb it is I haven’t even mentioned is grading system, so say I’m on the last few questions and I make a mistake you would think I would loose like 3 maybe 4 points but oh no you get but down to a 70 percent and you can’t finish a lesson until you get a one hundred. And they have the audacity to make me pay a subscription for this junk?!.Version: 6.5.0

You are badBad bad bad.Version: 5.2.0

Lots of mistakes but am only gonna say a coupleI like this to help me in my math and language arts, but they got lots of mistakes, I like this but let’s talk about the score you get when you get a problem correct or wrong. I did this and when I got a problem wrong, it will just take 12 or 13 points away AND when I get a problem right, it only gives me 1 or 2 points and I wasn’t even close to the challenge! Also there is no music and it’s kinda makes bored and the noises in this learning app is just the noises when you get it wrong or right. I hope you understand and that am not sending hate AT ALL and that it needs to liven up. So please do not get mad and fix those mistakes please! (Extra) It also lacks the colorful theme and that it should have coins, gems, tickets and I’ll tell you why. The Coins can be use to buy power-ups like have a second chance or unlock new subjects. The gems can be use to buy awesome power-ups like buy the themes and makes your own avatar. The tickets can be use for spicy challenges like making the problems ALL CHALLENGING. I really hope you add those things because I will send a 5 or 4 star if you do, And have a good day!.Version: 4.3.0

GarbageRoses are red Violets are blue I hate IXL And u should too.Version: 5.4.0

🤮This app is terrible. It promotes ripping the heads off Bratz dolls cutting there hair off and throwing the dismembered bodies down a well. It promotes whipping naked mole rats with frozen wieners that you can find in your fridge. It promotes stabbing your siblings with wooden knives and doing tribe dances around their dead bodies. It is a terrible app for children or any human being for that matter. It is terrible for children’s mental health and my young sister has gone through six iPads because she threw it at a wall every time she got a question wrong..Version: 5.2.0

It’s okay…This app is okay, its just that I think the score system pushes you a bit too far back....Version: 7.0.0

Vast library of knowledge but terrible score systemAs someone who’s only paid for the maths course, it seems like IXL has most of the topics covered in GCSEs. However, the scoring system in lessons is infuriatingly abysmal, it’s such a motivation-killer that it made me stay away from the app for over half a year despite having paid £70 for a yearly subscription. For instance, if you’re at 99 points and then make the slightest mistake, the lesson would throw you back to ~70 points just to have you sluggishly work your way back up and hopefully not get screwed over again for making a small mistake. The app would be so much better if only it had a slightly better points system (e.g. deduct less points for making mistakes), or an added feature that incentivises students to use the app more frequently such as streaks or leaderboards. In summary I wouldn’t recommend IXL in its current state to any GCSE student unless they’re a masochist..Version: 6.3.1

HorribleIXL is probably the worst app ever created. It loads to much, is a waist of money, and for some reason when you get the question right it is wrong. I would never recommend this to anyone.Version: 5.4.0

To many glitches 😢There is so much glitches there is one thing that my kids completed 5 times but it doesn’t show that you completed it also there is a glitch if you leave the IXL your on when you come back it makes you stay in the same question page but the question is diffrent then the actual thing it’s showing and ever since they fixed connection error they replaced it with bugs.Version: 7.1.0

Bad bad badThis is so baaaaad!!! That I could throw my iPad on the floor delete this app.Version: 5.2.0

Please IXLThis is make no sense the math doesn’t include bodmas. me as a teacher has the responsibility to make sure that the children’s are learned stuff. first I thought this is a good app but no it is not every single lesson MORE then four people rage over it. IXL if you want to get people learn things you must need a bit of responsibility and a bit of entertainment eg add some characters give them levels like mathematics. And try to explain the question little bit and please do the same thing for English..Version: 5.2.0

Total rubbishIXL is the worst app probably ever made. I here my kid ragging so badly that once he almost broke the wall by punching it. Oh look 99 percent gets the last one wrong 50- like I can’t sometimes he starts cussing in a pillow and no he sometimes punches the screen You should not get this stupid app like I wouldn’t be surprised if a baby makes this and the spelling like it doesn’t tell you how to do a question but mostly it is wrong my child got a question right and it said it’s wrong so don’t get this app and IXL better read his so they can fix this..Version: 6.3.1

HORRIBLEI would give it a 3 star if.... IT DOESN”T KNOCK YOU DOWN TO LIKE 83 WHEN YOU ARE LITTERALLY ON 99 LIKE SERIOUSLY. The other bug is that its very laggy. Also it works horribly compared to prodigy which is 1. FREE 2. Make kids like it more. You should like make it a bit funnier and maybe give a joke if you master a section or something. Other than those 2 bugs i will look on the bright side that the lessons are pretty good but those 2 cons make it so the bright side is very hard to pay attention to. That’s why I’m giving it a 2. If you fix the first reason i will give it a 4 and if you make it a bit more fun than i will give it a 5. The first thing shouldn’t be that hard to fix right? RIGHT? I’m sorry but it is really annoying that it knocks you down to like not even 85. Just knock it down to 87 or something ik that you don’t want them to continue the very hard challenges when they don’t get the problem which i get but still just change that so they won’t have to do 5 more problems just to get back to the challenge zone..Version: 6.0.1

Writing from experience.I am a student. I first used this in elementary school and hated it, I used it in late middle school and hated it then as well. There are two main ways it grades you. You might have to get a certain number correct in a row which means if you get 3 right but if the fourth one is wrong you have to start over. The second way you are graded: you must get 100 points in order to complete the lesson. The first questions are worth more, ex: 10 points. Every time you answer a question the value becomes less, ex: 8. If you answer incorrectly it gets rid of many more points than you earn ex: you have 90 points, get a question wrong, now there are 80. That means you end up having to answer way too many. I do not like this system because it teaches kids that being perfect is the only option. It can get extremely frustrating, especially during math because it is so easy to make a calculation error or type a number wrong, or in the wrong form..Version: 5.4.0

THE WORST APP EVERI hate this app and wish it was never created. I would’ve given it no stars but it wouldn’t allow me..Version: 8.4

So Horrible, A Lot Of ProblemsOkay, so… this app is awful, really awful, it’s so annoying when you get to 90 you only get like one point for each question and then I’ll have to do 1 question for only 2 points. And the fact that when you get a question wrong, like when your at 99, and you get a question wrong, you go down all the way to 86 or 87. Can you change the thing when you get something wrong and your smart score doesn’t go down SO much?? Like, at least when you get a question incorrect, you get one point down. Also, this app is supposed to teach you how you’re SUPPOSED to do it, some kids don’t know how to do it and they need this app to teach them HOW! I know you’re probably thinking, “their parents can teach the kids!” But some parents are expecting IXL to teach so they don’t have to teach. That’s what school is! If I could, I would give this app 0 stars. I would so not recommend this app for anybody. Anyway, I hope you can change these few things, these are my opinions, and thank you for reading a 9-year-old’s review..Version: 7.1.0

I DO NOT RECOMMEND(this app is really unfair)This app isn’t that good to me cause’ if for example I was on 99 it would take me all the way to 85 or 79 or something and it would be really annoying and also when my kids are on primary 5 or another low primary the activities they get are far beyond what they learn at school which really annoys me because most of the time they just choose a random activity and just guess the answer and plus they don’t learn anything so I do not recommend 👎.Version: 6.0.1

Legitimately the worst app everIxl sucks every time you mess up on a question it sends you back like 8 questions and if you put zero at the beginning of the long division it marks it as wrong worst app ever😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 5.1.0

It is a new form of tortureIXL is very frustrating and annoying , unless you want to torture your child DO NOT GET THIS APP. I used to love school and learning but then I started using IXL and now I’m begging my parents to let me drop out of school. If you really care about your child then don’t do this to them..Version: 5.1.0

I hate it now my kid doesn’t want to go to school more.I’m gonna get in big troubleToday my kid came running up to me with her ipad and was crying I asked why and then said they where on there last question and it said they where wrong because they tried different words and didn’t start with capital since it thinks the sentence hasn’t just started and they submit there answer which was correct and it went all the way back to half way because she didn’t use capital this is sick the example didn’t even use capitals,fix your app it’s ruining my kids school life!🙃.Version: 7.1.0

I swear to goodnessI know you just show all the positive comments first to promote this as software. I’m not writing this as someone who got dropped from 99 to 87 smart points. I’m writing this as some one who has done it SEVERAL TIMES. If your going to write down how to write the answer next to the answer box. My question was -7x = 14 which is negative two. But no. Apparently not. The box had said x= (Which should have been -x so I didn’t get confused) so I put in -2 thinking that it would work. I’m sorry, I gave this thing literally 3 chances. But that wasn’t enough apparently. Imma go ahead and delete this..Version: 4.2.1

Not goodIXL is SUPER STRESSFUL! Us as humans make mistakes and sometimes I accidentally hit a comma or something and it takes me back 10 points! Once I knew EXACTLY what I was doing on a skill and I had answered like 70 questions just because I kept making little mistakes and IXL was being soooo mean and taking me back like 30 points each time! I personal don’t like math a lot. It’s not my favorite but I don’t really care and sometimes I do like it but then HERE COMES IXL! When I hear the word IXL all I think of is KILL IT WITH FIRE. I was so excited for a new school yeear because we didn’t have to do extra math which is also I horrible and stressful game. We didn’t have to do xtra math but IXL HEH yup HERE E COMES. I get so mad and depressed over this and ITS JUST A GAME! Uh yeah, ITS A GAME AND IM THIS MAD AND UPSET OVER A GAMEREEEEEEEE TRUST ME THIS IS NOT A GAME DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT JUST DONT IT IS HORRIBALE IT IS MEAN IT IS SOOOOO JUST AWFUL AND IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT IN SCHOOL I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU AND ITS JUST MMMMMM!!!,!,!,!,,,,, it goes from 😅 to 😒 to 😡 to 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 to 😰 to 😭😭😭😭 at least that’s how I feel. Oh and it’s not just me. Other people at my school hate it too an if I were president I would ban IXL and xtramath no joke!.Version: 5.0

I hate IXLI say you should not recommend ixl.Version: 7.2.1

IXL teaches children to look up answers rather than find them for themselves.I have been stuck with using IXL for years, and as a student, this is my point of view on IXL. When doing IXL, the amount of problems that you get assigned on later grade sections are too challenging. Not in the sense that they are bad math questions, but the sheer amount of questions combined with a low risk+high reward point system lowers my motivation to keep moving through a section of IXL. The minimum amount of questions you need to answer correctly is 30, and every wrong answer adds another 2-3 questions. Sometimes more, if you are unlucky. This specifically is what teaches kids "Huh. Why should i do all of this work when i can use an automatic calculator?" This massive mistake lowers motivation to work, and needs to be overworked. The help section rarely helps either, if you do not know a concept. In my case, i have to go to a seperate website to look up how to do the concept, Khan Academy. Let me tell you with 100% certainty that khan academy is far better when teaching new concepts, and mastering old ones. Instead of a mass amount of questions, you simply have to get a specific amount correct in a row, which is much more preferable. Take it from me, and try out khan. You will not regret it.

ImpossibleI use this app at school and it is AWFUL. When my teacher says IXL, I freak and groan. I get a question right that I know is right, my teacher says it is right, and I still get it wrong. It is sooooo hard to get a question right on this. It is hard to get a 100 smart score, or get a time under 5 minutes. This is terrible. People hate on Cool Math Games, but people should hate on this. It is so bad, I decided to write a review. And get this. I never write reviews. Maybe if you can change this to a math GAMES app, it would be a lot better. Also you need to fix the glitch (if you get a problem right it counts it wrong) and maybe add some games to this. It is soooo boring. Also you need to pay like a bazillion dollars to use a new skill. If you don’t have an account (I have one bc of school) you only get 5 minutes of practice. Of course they only give you 5 minutes because it is impossible to get a time under 5 minutes because it is hard to get a question right. Please fix everything and this will be good. Otherwise a good app..Version: 5.1.0

It’s fineIXL has its cons and it’s pros. It has taught me quite a lot over these past 3 years, but it does sometimes make me feel angry, frustrated & upset due to its unfair smart-score system. However bad, the IXL scoring system is, it has unfortunately improved my math and sorta my English. The only other problem I have with the IXL app is that whenever I am doing a task and I am in the middle of answering a question which involves typing, I always accidentally press the submit button instead of the space button. If you could make a slight moderation it would be most appreciated & may hopefully make my IXL experience much more enjoyable. Thx P.S I started when I was in in yr 2.Version: 6.2.0

Amazing, Recommend (but some other stuff too)Ok, many people have written bad reviews. But I promise this one is true, I really promise. Over time, IXL has fixed some bugs & issues, which helps the people now. IXL has got some really good stuff & questions for all grades. It also has stuff that's not grades, like Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, etc. Like, amazing. For people who are in grades Kindergarten-8th, this is perfect. I'm a student, but OMG! Amazing. I can't even explain how good it is! One thing I love about it is, you can also do it on mobile. And PC. And on mobile, you can actually draw! You can use a pencil, and a highlighter. I have used this for 2 - 3 yrs, and I have loved it. I recommend this a lot. [ Edit ] Hi again! So, here’s my new opinion. Basically, IXL can be very frustrating. I had used it today, and felt like ripping my hair out. Literally. I got so frustrated, and I was only testing out 3rd Grade! 3rd! IXL, if your reading this, step up your game. You need to make this easier! I spent 20 min just trying. For 3rd, don’t forget. So, once again, I give this a 3/5. Sorry, but it’s the truth..Version: 7.1.0

TortureThe only this i’m learning on this is anger management.Version: 4.2.1

It’s a mediocre appThis app has been helping me with my one enemy, percentages. I would just make different explanations every time. I don’t understand the explanation you put down for percentages. Not stating the fact that your points get dropped so low if you get one wrong in the challenge zone. I will say, the app is way better than the website. But maybe make it more enjoyable and easy to get up to 100. Overall, this app is great! Keep it up :).Version: 4.8.2

BadBad bad badddddd this app should be banned boii.Version: 5.3.0

Good but could use some workI downloaded this in 2018 and it is really good but there is a problem. In level E I was doing an activity called Even or Odd: arithmetic rules. It got really tricky during the end and I how to go back at least 100 TIMES! In the end, the total question that I answered (correct and incorrect) was 64 questions! The total time I spent was 3 HOURSand 55 MINUTES! I actually cried of happiness when I finished. Instead of losing points and going back when you get a question wrong, maybe at the end you can answer that question at the end! Please IXL HQ, please make this happen!.Version: 4.3.0

Worst educational tool in the world!This is the worst educational tool in the world. It gets you some sort of satisfaction when you finish a skill, but it can literally take 30 minutes, to finish one simple, skill. To finish a skill you have to get to a 100 smart score. To get that, you have to correctly finish all the questions. But as a human, you might accidentally push a wrong button, and you are at the 99 smart score. It takes you back to like 86 smart score. And that just gets so frustrating, so yeah....AND ALSO! There was this question, and it was what is 0.1 multiplied by 0.1, I was like this is so easy, so I typed in .1, and I pressed enter. IT LITERALLY TOLD ME, ohhh, your answer is WRONG! I WAS LIKE OMG! I calmed down after a few 100 hours... and I went on google, because duh! And searched is 0.1, the same as .1! And it was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Long story short, I threw the laptop out the window, sooooooooooo, moral of the story.....DON’T YOU EVEN TRY PRESSING THE INSTALL BUTTON, BECAUSE YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY REGRET THAT, AND “IXL” WILL TAKE UP YOUR STORAGE THAT IS LEFT AFTER TAKING 1,000 PICTURES ON YOUR PHONE!.Version: 4.5.0

Un xlThis app has totally become my worst nightmare it takes me back 13 points after one mistake never ever download it Worst nightmares.Version: 4.7.0

TrashThis app is awful and i don’t say this just because i’m a student who doesn’t like homework. teachers need to start listening to what students have to say because just because we don’t like homework doesn’t mean our reasons for thinking their work or programs are stupid aren’t valid. the whole idea of this app is trash. if a student doesn’t understand a subject it leaves them stuck on one lesson for hours and hours with a ridiculous point keeping system. you answer a question correctly early on and it’s worth 10 pts but you answer correctly later on in the lesson and it’s worth like 3 pts. explain to me how that makes sense. it’s hard to navigate, glitches out, is unfair, and just doesn’t offer a good way to teach or practice math. this is a trash app and it disappoints me that teachers and/or school districts require this. their efforts need to start going towards finding efficient and helpful ways for students to practice. if i could rate IXL 0 stars i would and it bothers me greatly that i can’t and have to give it even 1 but this review should be put out there.Version: 7.3

BadBeing new to learning a new subject or a type of thing you can’t just push them to just go to IXL. If they mess up you can’t just punish them and let them do it again and again. You mess it is okay you are new to this. No one can’t just say you should now this already. This is a wrong way to teach a kid. This is easy To some and not to others. I want IXL to improve on not just being harsh on kids that learning something to be hard you can’t that harshness to a kid they can improve over time. You can’t just say you should now this already. If they have never learned this before that means they have never learned this before not they know what’s all the things they know just a kid. We all know Albert Einstein he took years to be the smartest not in one day not in one year but in 20 years of studying and learning so you should look up at Einstein he did not lean every thing in one year but 20 years. So don’t be harsh on kids when they are little they learn over time..Version: 6.4

Pretty good but needs some workI homeschool and am in year 10. I use mostly use IXL for maths and I use the diagnostic tests for both maths and English. I’m very behind on maths but am almost finished school for most of my English. This app has been super helpful but I wish you didn’t lose so many points for getting a single question wrong. It’s super annoying when I’m almost finished a lesson and I get one question wrong and I have to get so many questions right to make up. It would also be nice if you got more points for the questions as you get further along. You could also add better rewards (the current ones are MS paint quality pictures 😒) and the avatars are also really poor quality. 3/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️.Version: 8.4.1

HORRIBLE TERRIBLE GAMEI am a student in 5th grade and this game is not encouraging or fun in anyway. When you get a question wrong and you are already so far on your score it brings you down so much and it gets me really mad! This game is not fun in anyway but all my teachers have it and tell us to do it luckily they tell us that we can get to only 85% but it is not fun and in no way enjoyable or encouraging. But the only reason I even give it a star is because it is a way to learn without your teachers teaching you and I guess it is a way they can get a break but it is to hard on us and it makes me rage a lot and it is so annoying. Their is also so many things on their to do and teachers just keep on assigning them. I have been doing IXL since 2nd grade and ever since then I have hated it. I do not recommend this game to any teacher or student, teachers this makes your students annoyed and frustrated so do not have your students do this. This is a horrible game please do not download this. Thank you, for listening..Version: 8.3.1

Annoying and discouragingI hate this app so much. It said 🔺was not a triangle. schools, please find a better choice.🙏.Version: 5.1.0

I hate itTo be honest, if I could rate this 0 stars I would, but I can’t so one star will have to work. IXL is the reason I hate studying, it’s a app that simply tortures kids into doing things for hours plus many of its lessons aren’t even helpful. I don’t understand anyone who would rate this app 5 stars. Honestly this app deserves to burn at the bottom of the Earth along with the maniacs who believe this app will actually help their children. Think about the poor children who have to use this cursed app for hours just to complete a irrelevant lesson. You won’t believe how many times I’ve heard the people in my class complain about this app. I hope that one day the teachers will realize that this app is absolute trash. People say that kids learn violence from video games but I think they learn violence from the anger issues they get from hours of IXL. After all I wouldn’t blame them. Don’t get this app if you appreciate the sanity of your children and with them not to suffer like I did..Version: 7.2.4

Point SystemI have used IXL for four years now and although it does help me learn new concepts their point system is messed up. Once I wrote an answer and included a comma but the system said that my answer was wrong and made be go back about 10 points. Another time I was at 99 percent got the problem wrong and I was bumped back down to the 70s. This is NOT ok. Students like me work hard to achieve the the score their teacher require and when we make a tiny mistake or mess up a little we are taken so far back that we get really frustrated. We then weigh the costs of not doing the IXL. For some of my counterparts choosing not to do the IXL and getting a bad grade is better then continuing at the infuriatingly slow pace back to the top. Those of us that choose to continue doing the IXL may spend hours trying to get back up to our previous score because the number of points you get per question has been reduced and you are set so far back. IXL should take a serious look at their system and decide how far is too far back and reevaluate how much slower their users pace should be after a simple mistake..Version: 5.1.0

If Stress was an app…IXL homework wouldn’t be a problem if IXL wasn’t the worst learning app ever created. I tried to practice parallel structure, but after I did one exercise, it was just repeats of the same 15 questions on all the other ones. Even the other grades parallel structure questions are identical. I can’t practice if I’ve gotten to the point of seeing the first word and have memorized the answer because I’ve seen it 5 times. Teachers don’t understand that IXL’s so called ‘explanations’ don’t make sense, and are NOT a substitute for actually teaching us. Their point system is one of the most discouraging thing I have ever seen. It would be different if you earned 5 points for correct answers, and lost 3 or even 5 points for incorrect answers. But when I get to 99 percent and my finger slips, or I forget to add a coma, boom, down to 83 and I’m slamming my iPad on my bed and screaming. If your going to go through the process of creating a torture device for children, at the very least make the point system better. This app symbolizes all that is wrong with the educational system. Don’t download unless you want your computers and iPads to be thrown on the ground and your students to hate school, especially math..Version: 7.1.0

Ban itThis app is just something to waste of your time on it is supposed to be about helping kids learn but all it is during is letting kids cheat on it so there can get over with it. Also when you get something wrong it should not have to push you back from it. It should just stay at the number is on. Like if you 60 and you get it wrong you should let it stay at 60 instead of pushing you back at like 50. If you went to my school and you were in 8-12 grades if you use this app some kids stay up till 5 in the morning on this app because if it is 89 or under it is a 0. That means they will be tired and some kids would sleep in classes so you are taking there learning time away by them by letting the students catch up on there sleep in classes so there want learn anything while they are there. The teacher should be helping us with something not this stupid app because that is they job. If you are homeschooled then you could use this but if you really think about it this app is supposed to be for people that is homeschooled. If you use this app then I suggest you use another one that is a lot easier to everyone then this app because this app is not even letting kids learning what they need to learn..Version: 7.1.0

Really boringI’m a middle school student and my district does IXL. The thing is IXL is a bad program. Yes I do learn but barely. First if you get a question right it only goes 1% or 2% up. But if you get a question wrong it goes about 10% or 30% down. It takes about half an hour to complete a lesson if you know the material and a hour or more if you don’t. It’s also boring to students. Some teachers assign it as homework like in my school. I do the homework but it’s very boring. There’s nothing entertaining about it like other websites/apps I used in my previous school. Next the lessons are too easy for the grade. The lessons I do for my grade are way easier then expected. I was expecting a challenge like some websites/apps do to help people learn but no. The lessons are more like for the grade behind the one you’re actually in. The only good thing about IXL is the diagnostic. It’s actually a diagnostic that makes sense and actually helps people learn. If you’re a parent or teacher looking for a website to use for your kids or school I would NOT recommend this website/app..Version: 4.8.2

It’s okay.Great concept. Issues: 1) Hard to keep my kids motivated because they’re math lovers and speed of progression is atrociously slow, certainly not as adaptive as advertised. By the time he’s answered the 10th question on a row that’s almost identical, my older son is dying of boredom and complaining. Frankly, I don’t blame him. This needs to be addressed if hoping to retain the math-keeners market. 2) Sometimes a little buggy recognizing a correct answer (flat out, as others have mentioned, saying “9” is the wrong answer... then saying 9 was the correct solution), and formatting stuff (eg spaces in equations). 3) Would be nice if I could see kids’ progress more easily from Parent account in the app..Version: 4.2.1

I hate this appThis app is from the depths of hell. I have never ever done anything worse that spend hours and hours doing lots of tasks set by my teachers. This is the worst app/website/company ever created. Why? Because every time say you get to 90-99 and you get one wrong IT FLIPPING TAKES YOU BACK TO LIKE 74 AND MAKES YOU DO ALL THE QUESTIONS AGAIN! This is the most frustrating thing ever I do not recommend this app. I only gave it one star because you have to to rate it..Version: 6.3.1

HorribleDeserve no stars at all.Version: 5.4.0

Too harsh punishment and system full of mistakesI think that this app has some definite good spots, but the downsides out way. I have no idea of the price of this app(or even if this app is free), so instead i’ll be writing about the experience. First of all, as a regular user of this app, the auto correct system is difficult and hard for people with messy hand writing. Often my answers are marked incorrect when I knew what number I truly wrote. Once in the 70s to Challenge Zone (90+) the marks you get per question decrease whilst the amount they deduct increase. I sometimes find myself moving down 3 (three answers) marks in the challenge zone which frustrates myself mentally..Version: 6.2.0

TORTUREThis is like my third review and honestly, it’s just amazing! It treats me wOnDeRfUlLy.... haha nope this is not a Karen speaking so u don’t have to see those reviews saying that it’s good and all because it’s not. Like the title of this review, it is TERRIBLE, while I do see what they were going for here I would be better of not using it. It’s stress the LIFE out of me!! Huh sorry about that just had to express the great impact it’s had on my life........ Anyways the answer to why this app is terrible, is because it takes away so many points just because u got one simple answer wrong. And if you get it right it gives u less points than it took away. It acts as if u hurt it’s feelings and now u have to say sorry. And also sometimes it even marks the right answer wrong even if it does seem right. It even gives u some cute little paragraphs to read as if it trying to educate u to get it right next time. Overall it’s just to stressful ok? So make your choice! Do u want to use an app that I’ve heard actually causes some ppl like me to cry? Or do u just want to learn normal school? Your choice!.Version: 6.3.1

Nice appHello I really like this app it helps everyone but it’s a bit hard for me, I know that I am a KID yes, but it’s a little hard. Anyway I still like it, It helps me sooo muchh and I definitely recommend this app for all parents and kids! That is it. And I actually have an idea! Have you thought of making like an science or reading one. And maybe like a hass and art one? Anyway good bye.Version: 7.2.3

Pretty good, but some need fixingThis app is really good, but in the year 7 run-on sentences or complete sentences task it doesn't make any sense at all. It said run on sentences has no punctuation or just a comma and a full stop. Due to this, I spent nearly an hour doing this. I ended up having to skip it. PLEASE DO TELL ALL THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMPLETE AND RUN-ON SENTENCES!!!.Version: 5.0.1

Stupid IXLI hate it every time it lags it’s so annoying with saying I’m wrong when I am not when it tells me the real answer it’s the same as mine👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾🤦‍♂️.Version: 4.1.1

ABSURD!This app is horrible. it has made my kids cry multiple times and is just downright evil! its point system is the worst I’ve ever seen! if you get one right it’ll give you 2 points but if you get one wrong it’ll take away 20! both of my gifted high achieving kids came home in tears because of this app/website! its outrageous! my childrens’ confidence in all subjects has gone downhill because of this absurd system. the ‘challenge zone’ is the possibly worst thing coded into an app. it goes one point by one from 90 and takes you back to 70 if you get a question wrong. i shouldn’t have to stay up until midnight helping my daughters with punctuation as the other swims through mountains of variables and exponents! its astonishing that these teachers are so blind to whats right in front of them when they assign this to children. this app is absolutely absurd. the next time my daughters get assigned ixl, I’m talking to the teacher. i refuse to have my children and other children put up with this. anxiety can be a very large problem with growing teens and tweens and this website helps cultivate it even more. this is such a downright silly system and i feel horrible for the young kids whose parents make them use this app. its the worst thing you can do for your kid and and is the least encouraging form of practice for these poor students..Version: 7.1.0

Get khan academy instead of ixlDon’t buy this it the worst waste of 100dollars if you make a mistake it takes 10points away and if you get it write you get like 3 points. Khan academy is way better and it’s free. Don’t buy IXL get khan academy for free it’s way better.Version: 5.2.0

My dadMy dad do not let me delete and i don't use.Version: 6.2.1

Lots of bugsThis app needs more work done to it. I’m a student so I am using it on my iPad for school. The handwriting thing needs to be worked on more, it glitches up (a lot). My teacher is having me and my classmates use this for math. The glitch is where I write something in the box thing and it thinks it’s something entirely different. This is an issue because when I submit it, it says that I got it wrong when I actually got it right. And thus sends me down the progress bar, which is vary annoying. I suggest maybe having a whole lot of people write down numbers or whatever, this way if you progress it into the system it will understand more. My handwriting is just fine by the way. There is also more glitches with the workspace area when you write in it. I suggest checking that out too. It’s when I put my pen or anything on the surface it lags and makes whatever I’m writing super hard to read. This makes me use a different app for writing things down to replace a work area. Maybe you can partner with a company that does stuff like this, or fix it on your own. I hate this app because of all of these bugs. My teachers made us move to this app from freckle. I personally don’t like that decision. Just because this app needs some serious maintenance. Just shut the app down for however long you need to to do maintenance, the users aren’t going to die cause of that. Thank you for reading..Version: 6.2.1

😠Ixl is so dumb half da time.Version: 4.2.0

Latest iOS update is causing issuesThe app has been fine and the kids have enjoyed it but the latest IOS update 13.3 has brought some issues. The app freezes not allowing you to enter an answer, you then have to return to the main menu and re enter the exercise to unfreeze it, this happens every other question and making the app unusable. Please fix.Version: 5.1.0

Good but Maybe there should be a way you can say that you tried your hardestOn my IXL I sometimes get things wrong like most people do. When you get the question wrong you have to read a lot of things and you should be able to say show me more because it only tells you the basics. Like at the beginning of a course when you get an example..Version: 5.3.0

Worst App CreatedI hate IXL not only cuz it’s boring but it keeps sumbiting on its own.Version: 5.1.0

Dreadful and TediousMiddle school student’s perspective here. This is the worst educational app I’ve ever had to use. The point system is awful. For example, I was at 99 points. I mis-clicked. It took me down to a 92. I got the following question wrong. It took me to an 85. At this point, I’ve answered 134 questions. Yes, 134. Getting two questions incorrect, should not take you down that many points. Especially having already answered 134 questions. This is not the only time this has happened. I am forced to use IXL for almost all my classes. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve dug my fingernails into my flesh out of anger. I’m not crying during the lesson, but tears of joy after I complete it. It would also be nice if we could have a little something to read before the lesson. In order for it to explain how to do the assignment, you have to answer a question incorrectly. My thoughts are, why should I have to answer incorrectly to learn how to do the lesson? It makes zero sense. Please, DO NOT EVER USE THIS APP!!!!!!.Version: 7.2

Righting more reviews on this appIt sucks. IXL more like IX hell. Why do we even need this app.Version: 6.1.1

It’s a tricky subjectIxl a very strange game to speak about some people absolutely love it while others hate it I went through reviews and seen one star then five star over and over some people argue that it is a simple and working game while other think it is a increative waste off time I don’t believe either of those statements it’s not award winning but it’s not absolutely trash it has a few redeeming qualities but also things that hold it back from becoming a better game on the good side setting children back can help them try harder but also can make them feel like they will never get it done the levels are uncreative and monountous they can also refrain from distractions but this keeps kids uninterested o could have math mini games mixed in toast least keep kids entertained. The style of the game is cute but boring it’s simple but too simple not in the cute way with more effort this gam could be great it just needs a push in the right direction.Version: 4.1.1

Great Idea but struggles to loadIt was going really well and my kids were really engaging with the app and enjoying working through the maths questions. The explanations are well thought out and help move the app away from a ‘game’ status to a useful learning tool instead. The problem started one day when the app struggled to load questions or took ages between questions. It went from an annoyance to just being unusable. My internet is strong and every other app works fine, so I can only assume it’s this app that is the problem. I’ll delete the app and try installing again, but very frustrating after such a good start!.Version: 4.8.2

Good but there’s a major bugIXL is good way to learn and is a great website but sometimes when I’m doing an English test even though I got the answer correct it marks the answer as wrong and gives a mathematical explanation as to why I got it wrong. Which is obviously doesn’t make any sense. Also, I know may people have already commented on this but, when I’m on smartscore 99 and make one tiny mistake it takes me back to around 89, which totally isn’t fair! Please fix this. Thanks in advance..Version: 7.3

Just read my review pleaseI give ixl 2 stars bc it is supposed to make you focused 🧘‍♀️ in your studies n’ stuff but I get distracted but the way I get distracted is by saying I can do it bc it’s just that hard and other stuff 🎞 I didn’t give it one star bc Im not mean and it kinda helps me learn but It is like never ending but when your in the challenge when you answer 1 question right you get one point like what was the reason- that’s doesn’t make any fracking sense and when you get ONE question wrong you go down like 100 point like ok jeez you might as well start me from the beginning so if you get triggered easily I wouldn’t recommend ixl but if you are persistent,patient and hardworking like others then go right on ahead it all yours 🕰 but in my opinion you cannot excel with ixl. And on a side note the time is wrong so I don’t get most of the reading patches like for example if my true end time was 9:06 it would say 8:56 so what’s the prob lol i don’t really give a flip but still that.Version: 6.5.1

The smart score needs workI downloaded this app for my 13 year old daughter who wanted extra math work. We sit and do the questions for 40 minutes after school- it’s a great setup but she is feeling frustrated when she gets a question wrong that the “smart score” drops so much but when she answers a question right only to give her 2 points..Version: 7.2.2

It’s ok.The app is intuitive to use. We have found 3 errors within it and the coins section is difficult at times due to poor quality blurry images of the coins. Our child finds the count down stage quite stressful which is frustrating as he loves learning at school and finds this quite off putting..Version: 5.4.1

So terribleIt gives me stress, it takes so many points away. I am a grade 4 and I have to answer 40 questions in a row.Version: 6.2.1

Still fun but BADNow many of you know it may be a really good and fun app. I agree but THE HORRIBLE THING IS YOU GO DOWN A LOT. For example if you are at 99 and then you get one down it JUST ALMOST WIPES OUT YOUR SCORE. Sure the activities are fun BUT THE SYSTEM IS NOT. I just don’t understand the system. Please fix it it will really help. P.s: i broke my iPad while doing IXL and also uh it’s about 365 in the learning app podium so I don’t really recommended it. Try khan maths or study ladder..Version: 6.5.1

THIS IS TRASHI get one question right and y’all make it go up only 3 points, but once I just get one question wrong it gets 15 points down?! Also the explanations never tend to make sense, please go fix your system! This is overwhelming us students! I don’t think that we should be getting this much work! Why on earth does your such called “amazing” IXL bringing so many points down. And for science a lot of times the explanations don’t make much sense. It’s just depressing the fact I have to right this much about your app. Then let’s talk about math, math is very complicated too! Explanations really don’t make any sense. Most of the time if I don’t put a Comma it makes it wrong or it’s a negative sign. For the love of God bro here’s a fun fact! We aren’t perfect and we get typo’s but y’all gotta make us rage right?! You make our points go 10 points down, especially when we are at 90s, like what is your issue! Math is mainly the problem. I get something wrong and try to learn from the explanations but it makes no sense! This is torture for us students!!!.Version: 6.4.3

It’s alright.I use this app for homeschooling and although it seems to cover most of the topics you learn in school, the scoring system is crap. It’s so demotivating, you should only have to do one question to make up for the one you got wrong. Also the examples aren’t very detailed and should be accessible throughout the whole lesson, not just at the beginning. I will continue to use it considering it has the topics I need, although I can’t say this app is going to help me catch up in time for my next year..Version: 7.2.4

Hella gayThis app is gay and it should go to hell and why do you have to deduct like 20 marks when ur close to getting 100 I do not recommend this app.Version: 5.2.0

UtrxxcfyuI’ll is great and all but needs some serious improvement! People who use iCloud work hard to get their score or point for example if they are on like 96 or something they go all the way back to 80 something! We worked hard to earn those corrections but then they erase them with 5 to 10 points! It can cause serious raging and raging can affect their brain to negativity so you should change the reducing points to 1 or 2. Please change the reducing points and thank you for reading..Version: 4.2.0

Deducts too many pointsIXL provides many lessons in different subjects that can be useful for all ages. It is so good, that it is often used by teachers for homework or a class review. The only thing that ruins the entire experience is when you get one wrong and it takes you down 8-10 points. This would not be true at the beginning of a lesson where you get 10 points if you get it correct and lose one if you get it wrong but as you get farther in the lesson, it starts giving you less points and taking away more. An example of this is when I was at a Smart score of 92 and got two questions wrong. This led to my score to turn into 77 and each correct answer only earned one point. Another example of this is when my classmates and I were assigned an IXL lesson and some people worked on it for over 4 hours. This would be a good thing to consider but it is ok to continue using this scoring process. It’s still provides education for its users..Version: 7.2.3

IXLThe examples need to be more specific.Version: 8.2

‼️DO NOT GET THIS APP 😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬This app is very hard when you do a question wrong it takes away ten points it’s so retarded. Do not get it. I got it for my homeschooling and I don’t care that is for school I don’t recommend AT ALL..Version: 5.2.0

Dumb brain crapI’m surprised that you get money for this piece of dumb crap that the dog dragged in. You should get sued, if I get something right then you only give like 2 points and if I get it wrong I get like 18 pts taken away and I only get it wrong because of your faulty crappy keyboard. I used to get good grades and because of you I had to repeat a grade TWICE. Life is better without you, go jump off the Eiffel Tower and DIE. And Mind this, someone might sue you. Edit: I saw all the reviews and most of them were 1 star how come you get a 4.3.Version: 5.2.0

HorribleIt sucks and whoever buys this is out of there mind.Version: 6.2.1

IXL...It’s not bad but it makes me rage a lot so... I always kinda score high but the thing is when you are super close to finishing and you get one wrong it takes you back to 89. So please change this because I have anxiety and my loss of confidence has gone off the charts. I don’t think I like that ‘policy’ and we’re only kids and also harder for me because I’m dyslexic. So I like the app but the ‘marks’ are pretty brutal..Version: 6.4.3

It doesn’t explain what I did wrong and the questions are bad👹👹👹👹👹👹.Version: 5.1.0

NUPIXL is a big nope 👎 it’s so hard and if you could give it a 0 star I would! Kids sit down for HOURS trying to finish like BRU it is never ending until you make it up to 100% which is getting ALL the questions right! I sat down FOR 2 HOURS trying to make it TO THE END and I did 245! QUESTIONS and it was so hard and guess what I didn’t even finish 😒😒😒 I just quit because no one wants to sit there for 2 hours trying to figure out 1 dam ! Question. Trust m Eid you want ur child to cry because of this game !!! Then don’t get it!!!!.Version: 8.4.1

It’s ok but needs some workOk so this app is really bad at the grammar, things so blame the app for my bad grammar. Also it’s realllly bad at spelling but I’m good at spelling so that’s fine. The is ok really, but many questions make no sense. So my Aunty is a teacher and she told me that if the questions are actually reasonable it makes it easier for kids to solve. I am only eleven. I am homeschooled which means I am normally ahead of school kids in work. But still this needs a lot of work. It should not be the first choice. But still it is a ok app so I’d say get if it helps. And overall it’s not very good at explaining like anything it takes me about half the time just to find out what I supposed to do! I am really annoyed at this app pls make it so when you get a question wrong there is a link to the website for that thing your doing. This app is also very sexist and homophobic It’s overall not a very good app. It teaches kids to be homophobic. This is actually from the app ‘Hannah likes a girl, it’s so gross’.Version: 6.2.0

To hard/easyI had ixl for about 3 years. When I first had too do it, I didn’t notice how much the points would come and go. But as I used it more, it started to notice a lot. When you start a skill, each time you get a question correct you get about 20 points, but it’s when it has easier questions, then by the time you get to 70% it barely gives you points, to much harder questions. There is a lot of skills, but half of the skills are super easy! My class gets really angry when the get one tiny thing wrong, and it takes away half the points they worked hard for! And when your at 90%-99% and you get a question wrong, it brings you to like 87% or 78% and its really annoying. I have seen some of my friends cry over this because, they had done so much to get at a high score, but then they do something wrong, and all their work has gone to waste. Plus ixl is no fun! Their is many other apps that teach a lot, and are way better! If you want a good app for education, then you should look at Reflex..Version: 5.4.1

AnnoyingThis app is really annoying sometimes. Some of the questions are auto-submit, so whenever I accidentally press an incorrect answer it removes so many points. For example, it asked what the capital of Louisiana was and I tried to press Baton Rouge but pressed New Orleans by accident. 😡. Also, science is the most annoying topic in IXL. Basically, you have to get 4 or 5 questions right in a row before you can pass the stage, and there are about 3 or 4 questions in a stage. I was at the last question of the stage and since science in IXL is very annoying, I got the question wrong. I was extremely mad. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡>:(. Once I was at 99 and then I got the last question wrong and it took soooooooo many points off!!! I was really frustrated so I quit. I really wish somebody fixed this. The challenge zone is really annoying too. For some of the topics, the challenge zone questions are almost the same as the first problems. But in the challenge zone, you only get 1 point per question. AND when you get a question wrong, it takes off, like, 20 POINTS. If you fix these things I will give at 5 star review..Version: 6.1.1

Ixl Is slowNot great program and waste of money , Just use Khan Academy it is free..Version: 5.3.0

HorribleFor starters, I’m a sophomore in high school and I used to use ixls a LOT in 8th grade. Now I’m geometry, we’re made to do them. As of right now, my teacher has assigned 75 ixls for me to do and finish in about a month, which is doable, however it starts to become a problem when you and your fellow classmates start to constantly get frustrated and upset over the “smart score” system. It’s rigged. You get a problem right? About 4 points added. You miss one though? You’re dropped about 9 points. This is extremely frustrating when you don’t understand a problem and you miss it and you’re dropped low. While the app offers an “explanation” on why you missed a problem, it doesn’t help. Half the time I find that it’s not even a true explanation! Math is also not my strong suit, so I’m constantly missing problems. I’ve had nights where I’ve had to stay up in tears trying to get to the goal my teacher set for me and it’s been hard to reach. Overall, unless you enjoy your students/kids stressed/upset/unmotivated over their work, I DON’T recommend this stupid program at all..Version: 8.3.1

Just awfulI have been using this for about a month and I am already getting mad. Here is the reason why, today I was at 99 and I accidentally pressed the wrong button and that question was an automatic submission. And just because of that I went back down to 83 and I knew the answer. Today I also decided that the app was kinda glitchy because I always count the last few seconds when I’m done and I know 100% that I ended on 4 minutes and 53 seconds but it said on my score it took me 5 minutes and 5 seconds. Also please at least put some boosts in this really really awful app because when I get a question wrong I don’t even waste a second on the things it has to say I just move on. I would like for the boosts to remove the timing part( for a whole session of course because it will be waaaaay too short of it was only for a few seconds.) And this app is like pay or no play because it only gives you about 40 seconds to play for free and then it doesn’t let you do it anymore or you’ll need to pay 20 dollars for math and language arts without the social studies or science ( witch is my favorite lesson) and I am NOT OKAY with that. But if you do make this very very very very very annoying and boring app better I will give a better review and rate it 3 or 4 stars (5 if you lower the pay, please it’s way to expensive.) Plus I bet everyone else will rate it 4 or 5 stars instead of 1 or 2. Thanks if you do it. And if you don’t I hope you survive all of the bad reviews..Version: 5.0.2

Don’t get itI mean like I know it’s supposed to help and unfortunately it is, but IXL is really pushing it. Apparently it’s fun, but I’m sure you haven’t showed it to a kid who haven’t handed the tablet back crying, right?? Like seriously, it’s for mostly little kid who just want to finish the activity so they can play, so why make it torture upon torture when it already is? I know many parents who don’t like IXL just because it is way to harsh. Like, why make the “challenge zone” worth ONE POINT when half of the time it isn’t even challenging?! If you think your so amazing and great just because SOME people think it is, why not tweak it a little so that EVERYONE can at least say it’s ok? Why? And if you even bother to update IXL with your “minor bug improvements” you might as well make the effort to make it more enjoyable for EVERYONE. Job well done, IXL, you’ve made millions of kids despise learning. 🙃.Version: 7.1.0

This is awful developer please read thisThis app is the worst one on the App Store if you get a question right on IXL it gives you two points I mean yes that’s a good reward but when you get one wrong it’s at two back 20 this is not teaching any kid at all developer you are a coward for making this app it is extremely disappointing that these teachers are not seeing the problem in this app I hate this app so much you need to shut this down immediately it is not teaching kids and also in the social studies it has a little check mark that you have to receive but when you get one right when you’re just about to end it doesn’t even give you credit if you answer the question it doesn’t check the mark this app is a scam and I am so mad that the teachers are not seeing the problem in this app and how bad it is and the developer is a coward I hate whoever made this app or even thought it was a good idea this is the most horrible app on the App Store and that is saying a lot please shut down this awful app.Version: 8.1

AwfulThe lag is terrible and there is no explainaton non how to get answers it isn’t motivating and tells me what I answered is wrong but it says it’s right. It reduces points for the simplest mistakes like forgetting a space or a symbol for math.Version: 8.0

IXL = DIABOLICAL EVIL 👿Stupid app do not download. nearly broke my iPad and smashed my monitor with my fist. gives you nothing but pain. get Khan academy it's way better. it's practically a video game compared to this crap..Version: 6.5.1

IxlWhen I need to constant practice Ixl is used when I need additional time to get it the tasks that is done so I can step into the diagnostics and complete some more on there Ixl offers free memberships and also it helps me to get better at math and English in the class that I am also getting stronger and ether answer quickly or at your pace . If you are at your standard level. It motivated me to suspend my working abilities. Throughout classes . When you are stuck on a question you may work it out on a bit of paper . Ixl helps me to get my work done. And it supports me throughout the school day and sometimes at home . It’s the best online educational app I’ve ever used. It helped me especially in lockdown because it gave me a boost my learning and home and I love it . And it boosted my knowledge of English and math .and I loved your app soo much . Panda #123.Version: 7.2.4

My Progress.The past few months IXL has been working perfectly but today something happened. I had just updated the app and I went on it to do some work. But all my progress on both English and Maths has been reset. I had a few things I was working on. But it has all be reset. I still have the prizes I had earned from English but all my progress is gone. It happens every time I go onto the app, if I start doing a lesson it all comes back. But it is very glitchy..Version: 7.2.4

I expelledNot happy at the app and the website u need to get to 100% but when you get a single mistake takes you back from 99% to 89% is is so 😤and it it does not see that mistakes are important while learning, Studyladder and Kahoot is better but ixl is like a punishment for a little mistake and the explanations are darn incomplete. Another thing is that it says sorry, incorrect which is rude. Next on the list is glitches, sometimes I click on and answer and it marks my answer wrong which is ixl stupid mode enabled and it keeps on getting worse in every update. I would rate it zero stars and put swear words in this comment. Other people say it good but they may be lying. It is very unfair because when I got 1 right it went from 84% to 85% I was not in the challenge zone. This app is insanely extremely very very very very very very very very bad, I can’t trust you people to fix the app in every update so I am not updating it. I am so stressed out that I have to write it 🤯🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🤯🤬 thanks this is your money to buy stress it is $100 per year sounds extremely dumb and when 1 question drops you down hundreds of computers and smashed and every year around 1 million or around that number of computers are smashed, so who should be the one paying it students and parents or the C.E.O and coworkers. I think that ixl should be paying for new computers so this has happened since 1998 so you are paying hundreds of billions of dollars or even 1 Trillion dollars and even Bill Gates doesn’t have that kind of money. And hope you get rich to pay for the damage..Version: 6.4.3

I hate IXL 👎👎It is the worst math app I have ever seen! It is not kid friendly and it will give kids motivational problems..Version: 6.2.1

Please take this down.IXL = getting over it. Many kids have raged over it. Many kids have destroyed thier devices over this, just like getting over it. I wonder if whoever made this as the same purpose as getting over it, or worse. That was my review about how long ago, and I still rage at it, and they still don’t listen. As a matter of fact, pretty much all kids rage at it. I only rated it 5 stars because I want other ppl to see what anger it could bring, and their children won’t be victims of IXL. Oh, btw, try following prodigy’s example. Now that’s actually a game kids can learn from. It is currently 11:45 P.M.when I,m typing this, and I only have one thing to say. LOWER THE DARN PUNISHMENT. I am in tears in this one ixl mainly because of little mistakes. If you don’t lower the punishment thing down AT LEAST GIVE ANOTHER CHANCE LIKE PRODIGY. (Edited again) I changed it to 1 star. Btw, the 5 star reviews are A. Ixl bots or B. Teachers who cannot find another app. To those I say try prodigy.(P.S., this is for people like Blanchue).Version: 7.0.0

Good but badIt’s a good app but when you make a small mistake, you go back by a lot. Also with decimals, for example $3.5, it says I’m wrong and that the correct answer is $3.50. Dude it’s just a zero that doesn’t have to be there if you don’t want it to..Version: 4.3.0

Add moreHi I would like maybe something fun and extra. also maybe for some people like me they go in the same one over and over again not learning as you’re able to maybe you stop that somehow? Also the noise that happens when you get it wrong is not nice can you maybe change it? 😀 how far it’s quite good 👍.Version: 7.2.2

IT SUCKSIt’s just making kids hate learning. Aren’t these apps suppose to make learning fun?.Version: 6.3.1

Pretty bad...This is a horrible app, it makes my children a lot more STRESSED and it doesn’t make Maths and English appealing to them. They first get most of the questions right but then they get one wrong, and it keeps on continuing, get one right, getting one wrong. Each time they get more FRUSTRATED and they start to whine and cry. Once you reach around 80 to 90 the questions are RIDICULOUS, they sometimes get EXTREMELY long and there’s no point of teaching them something that long, only the basic structure. This app is NOT worth your money..Version: 7.0.0

TrashI can’t believe i had to pay for this and half the time it tells me a got the incorrect answer when I clearly did the right one. Waste of your money.Version: 5.1.0

Why must you do this to me…O.K, but it could do better like having all of your questions have a submit button like Mathletics. I have had so many mistakes by it insta-submitting. And when I tried the article lessons, it just told me to use a PLUS SIGN 😡. And, maybe consider having a better rendering systems, because when I typed a zero in, it didn’t register. So I got it wrong. And, I typed in a zero and a nine and it said I was WRONG. In conclusion, IXL has a lot of improvements in need. Also please get smaller punishments, because like, I’m at the VERY END, and BOOM, one question wrong? BACK TO THE BEGINNING WITH YOU!!!!!!.Version: 7.0.0

*cries in pain*I absolutely despise the smart score scoring system. You can work really hard to reach 90 but if you get ONE question wrong, then all your progress and effort has been erased and all that time you just spent working your way to the top has been wasted. Thanks IXL…. For teaching the next generation that no matter how hard they try they will never succeed at ANYTHING IN LIFE. And even if you do earn something it will only be worth a small square with a picture of Niagara Falls and insects. And even when I DO end up finishing, At the end I don’t feel any accomplishment, I only feel stupid for letting my mother pay a subscription for this. WASTE OF TIME, PARENTS: PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS FOR YOUR CHILD. IT ONLY MAKES YOUR CHILD FEEL FRUSTRATED, STUPID AND MISERABLE, ESPECIALLY TEENS AND PRIMARY/ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS. (Hope you read this IXL… because you better).Version: 8.4
