BORING
September 25, 2023

Don't even know why my parents even paid for this! I don't even learn anything! The only thing IXL has on me is that it's now on my list of things that bore the living sol out of me.

DONT EVEN TRY WITH IT!
September 25, 2023

This app put me in the psychiatric hospital because i stayed up to late doing it and got a bit silly and quirky... long story short i ended up with federal felony and many other criminal charges across just a few different states! Now i am writing this review from the mental hospital after pleading insanity to all of my charges... hopefully my ward doesn't look through this search history...

Disappointed User
September 25, 2023

As it is understandable why teachers may like ixl as its a way for students to learn and make progress. It is very frustrating from a Students POV as I get the questions correct and get 1-2 points but when I get a question wrong it drops my score drastically which is the frustrating part. Also for some questions I put a space or write it differently but still equals the same, it still marks me wrong. This app is amazing for improving your academic goal but it is very frustrating. This app has many potential but it needs some improvement to make the experience better.

This app respectfully makes me want to throw myself down the stairs and cry myself to sleep.

Makes me wanna die.
September 21, 2023

Its mostly about the point deducting…. Get one question right and you get 1-2 points! Get one question wrong, 5 points or more is taken off…. Definitely a good system! IXL really knows how to make children have a sobbing session!

Ixl is a horrible frustration trigger for me and many other students. Doing an IXL assignment can lead to tears breakdowns and uncontrollable anger. Kids with anger management problems in my school have hurt themselves because they get too angry. Now this is just my experience as a student. If you're a school district reading this, I do not recommend it. When me and my peers get assigned an IXL it's a load of stress that we do not need in our lives.

IXL Point problem
September 21, 2023

The point system is screwed up, If you get 1 Question wrong you get set back a whole 15 points, it doesn't help that some teachers grade by these points. Please fix this.

Hoe
September 11, 2023

Can't even stand the word ixl it's not a good website for children to learn and grow. Most of the "lessons" don't even relate to what the kids are learning.

Back in 5th grade I had Ixl homework to do so I did it I wanted my dad to help me so he did little did I know I was going to be crying up in tears bc I wanted to play my nintendo switch, so when I get just one question wrong it would drop the smart score(or should I say dumb score) I was in tears and It was so embarrassing. Parents and Teachers pls dont make your kid do IXL it will cause stress

Supplemental Math Help
August 30, 2023

It is very effective as a supplemental math support. It should not be the only curriculum. It is helping the student with their regular math and bridging the gap between grade level and skill level. In the above image, IXL is correct. It is 12.11 only get you 77 forks so you need another pack to get to 12. This was probably supported in the video and the student would ask their parent or teacher for support. It should not done all alone. That's not what it is designed for.

IXL sucks balls!
August 21, 2023

You have to do all this work and then the unfair point system takes it all away! For some reason, teachers love it, but I haven't learned a single thing from it but to expect disappointment.

So frustrating.
August 15, 2023

IXL has never helped me, It always gets me in the worst mood. If you get a question wrong you go back heaps. Making it impossible. It has never done anything for me out of the frustration I have distracting me I can't learn.

This is nothing but tourture, the explanations are so bad I think a mentally $#*!ed, blindfolded, monkey wrote them. Id rather eat bricks than go through this. I swear this will make you studants/children want to go home and blow there face off. The question are faker than michal Jackson's skin color. I would like to think that the CEO of IXL is a convicted sex offender and Is out of jail on bond. Then the score system. Say your at a 99 and then get 1 question wrong, you drop down to a 14 and then need to get 636 questions right in a row to get back to a 99 score WOULD 1000% NOT RECOMMEND!
