IXL has a rating of 1.2 stars from 611 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers complaining about IXL most frequently mention smart score, point system, and challenge zone problems. IXL ranks 4372nd among Education sites.
There are lots of reviews on here that have one or two stars but those are just kids who hate learning and don't know the Insufferable pain that is I-Ready. IXL has helped me a lot through middle school and to put how helpful IXL is into perspective I learned imaginary numbers in 7th grade. Please do not listen to all these whiny kids who don't like learning.
IXL would have been great but, it makes no effort to actually improve the students that are using it. Unlike Khan Academy it does not have real time help options and a lot of time the explanations do not make sense. It has an extremely harsh points system that only gives about 3-4 points for correctness but takes close to 6 for a question input wrong. I have seen students have nearly 200 questions answered 2+ hours of time trying to pass and still give up at an 80. IXL causes more harm than good and has negative effects on the mental health of students. The image shown shows how long it took for a student to get to a 100 on their IXL through all 6 sessions
IXL sacrificed me to the devil and then left my dead, naked body in a diddy party. I was forced to watch Diddy and Drake molest my dead body in the diddy freak offs for hours and hours. After this, I was resurrected with severe pain in my butt and it hurt a lot because of drakes big long meat. After I got resurrected, my mom made me go to school because she says I cant miss a day. When I got to school, I found out that I'd missed out on 17 hours worth of IXL that my teacher said was due by 3:00 PM yesterday. When she asked me if I'd done it, I said no and then my whole class laughed at me and dumped the class trash can on me. After that, I smelled so bad that people stopped talking to me for a week straight. When I tried to talk to my friend after that, he acted like he didn't know me and called the rest of the school to beat the $#*! out of me. After they broke all of the bones and ligaments in my body, they took potato peelers and skinned me alive, then poured a tub of salt on me. After all of this abuse, I ended up crying a singular tear which made them notice that I had felt pain. They got so mad at this that they burned my corpse alive and then called Diddy back onto me, who brought his whole gang of Freaksters and bodyguards to kill and molest me at the same time. The bodyguards shot me into swiss cheese with shotguns and AR-15s while his freaksters touched me. They then threw me into wet concrete, and my body would then become trapped in a sidewalk. They then $#*! all over the part of the sidewalk that my body was trapped in, and then proceeded to bring all of my family members and send them into outer space one by one, while my consciousness still remained, trapped in the street, forcing me to listen to this happen. When I finally died inside of that sidewalk, I went to hell, because IXL sold my soul, and I was forced to do thousands of IXL problems for the rest of eternity while never getting the satisfaction of completing a lesson.

$#*! IXL DONT USE IT $#*! YOU $#*! YOU AAAA

Mathhhhhh
I am a grade 6 student and my parents make me do Ixl and let me tell you...IT'S THE WORST APP TO EVER EXIST! IT'S FIRST OF ALL STRESSFUL AND THE POINTS SYSTEM IS RIGGED! I WAS AT 99 AND THEN I GOT ONE WRONG AND IT BROUGHT ME DOWN TO 90 WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS THING?! Teachers and parents If your reading this...don't let your children or class do this app it will give your children mental issues and make them cry over a single math question.
Now don't get me started on this dumbass website, it's even worse than IREADY! My first point, what the $#*! is the point system. When you get to 75+ you go up by 3 and 2 and then 1. But then when you get ONE $#*!ING QUESTION WRONG. You go down by $#*!ing TEN+. SERIOUSLY WHAT. My second point, THEY EXPLAIN THE QUESTIONS SO WEIRDLY. Here let me just show you one. It literally says, "
Use your line plot to answer the question below.
How much more propane fuel did they use during the meal when they used the most than during the meal when they used the least?" The lesson is II.3 by the way. I bet you, you can not answer that, and if you can, You deserve a high five. Also, who the $#*! uses propane fuel to cook food? It may make sense but I do not get it at all. My last point, it's no where near an "education system". IXL, delete your website. Whoever created IXL (i'm too lazy to search up who did) it's no where near what you wanted it to be. (if you wanted it to be an education site). It's basically a torture zone. It has no effect on education and all it effects is our depression, our anger. You have to do something about this IXL creator, and if you are reading this, READ THE OTHER $#*!ING REVIEWS GOD DAMMIT!
Tip for consumers:
please don't download this until they do something about this goddamn website.
IXL IS THE BLACKEST, AFRICANIEST, $#*!IEST, MONKEY...LIKE GOD DAMN 1 QUESTION WRONG AND UR BACK TO 13. MY $#*! WHAT THE FRICK.
I am in 7th grade, and this site is awful. It caused more stress than regular math and doesn't help anyone learn.
The point system is unfair, making a lot of stress for students. Also, the explanations are trash as f##k, adding even more stress when students get questions wrong and then they see the same exact f##king thing over and over just cause they got one wrong. This site should be banned from all school districts forever and ever. (Seriously, just use khan academy).

I was on ixl for a lesson on percentages. When I was on my last question I got it wrong, no worries right?
WRONG I got down from a 99 to a 87 But when i get something right, I only get 3 points.
I love ixl but this makes it to 2 stars, If the points problem was fixed a 5 stars.
I implore you, do not use this website. My younger brother and I have actually cried in Ixl, you get 1 problem away from finishing, and then it brings you down 10 points. I request that you do not call this "education" it is simply an excuse for a painful way to get kids to memorize a sentence. This website is absolute trash and I hope it gets ripped to shreds like paper, please, don't use this.

IXL is terrible it makes my kid so mad when he gets something wrong and goes back 7 and goes up 2 or 3 it is a terrible site! Do not Recommend!
IXL is among the worst websites ive ever used as a student it has some good qualities such as a rewards systems but thats about it it has lessons for almost anything but the questions are weird ithas no help tools other than a draw tool that only sees use when some people are bored and due to the only one help tool the site has no extra help for people of different mental capacities its atrocious this website is a stain among other education sites if you want a good education site go use CK-12 trust me.
IXL is geared to make money. IXL has no programs for low income. Thus, Creating a barrier for the low income families. How do we make AMERICA great again when we roadblock a child's ability to learn? Who thinks this is OK?
Tip for consumers:
STOP MONETIZING CHILD EDUCATION!

It's very stressful when you have a 99 and you get one answer wrong then it brings you down to a 70.
Geez, if you hate IXL, then what about I-Ready? IXL can be boring, but at least you can actually pick your lessons instead of just getting whatever you got picked for you by the app. If you hate I-Ready, try IXL it's a lot better. Glad there is some math app that's better than I-Ready.
Tip for consumers:
Don't do I-Ready. Do IXL, it's a LOT better

IXL and I-Ready
It just doesn't explain well enough. When I get something wrong, I want a good concise explanation on how to do it, not a bunch of yapping going nowhere or 10 words basically saying "look at the picture". Just use Khan Academy, it's so much better
IXL is the worst piece of crap ever. I know that I'm just a teen but listen to me. If you are a parent or teacher, NEVER USE IT. Firstly, you will just be wasting your money on a bunch of $#*! that don't help your child learn anything. It creates stress on them. Out of the 10 hours a day I am on IXL, I spend at least 8 of them silently crying or screaming out of anger. It is so frustrating when you get 1 question wrong because there is something called a smart score and your goal is to get it to 100. However, for example, when you are at 90 and get 1 question wrong, your score will go down to 75 and it will take at least 20 questions in a row to get back to 90. IXL was an awful idea and only make your kids mad. My parents, having the Asian genes in them, forced me to do IXL every day to become the top of the class and ahead of everyone. I am not sorry to say that I broke multiple devices/electronics because I was so upset and frustrated that I kept getting the questions wrong. Once I ended up having to miss 3 days of school because I punched my iPad and got glass stuck in my hand really deep. In fact, I think that IXL will cause your child to think that all learning is like IXL and make them hate learning and become a bad/not willing to learn student. Every night, I cry myself to sleep because I still haven't finished and dread waking up the next day. It takes hours or even days to finish just one skill. Although there are explanations, they don't help, are too long to read at 3am in the morning, and sometimes aren't even related to the question. IXL drives me crazy. If I could, I would have put -******* stars. I have proof for you that I spend at least 1 hour on every skill and answer at least 200 questions. IXL is torture to every single person that even try's to answer 1 question. It really questions your child's will to live. NEVER USE IT. You can probably tell how much I hate this crap because I am writing a whole 10 page essay on how bad this piece of $#*! is.
I am a middle school student, age 11 who loves going to school but IXL just ruins it. IXL was a good idea but the owners have failed to execute the idea decently. IXL can be stressful because of the point system. The point system doesn´t make any sense because why should I be losing 16 points over 1 question? The percentage system seems way more reasonable here. I did not buy the IXL subscription and I am happy that the school does because I would never buy such a thing. IXL should change a few things.
Tip for consumers:
IXL is terrible.
You guys keep on takeing 7 points of while all of us get 2 or 3 points it is unfair for all of us I hate this.
I hate IXL so much, here is why-
IXL almost seems like a lazy thing for teachers so they don't have to grade papers or print worksheets. Because my teachers assign so much work for us that it's just way too overwhelming. Also the smart score... my god The smart score it's just awful and if you get a question right it only gives you like 3 or 4 points to your smart score- BUT when you get one wrong it sets you back by like 6 or 7 points! It's just not fair at all. Also, you have t get 80% or better at my school- so going back to the smart score- let's say that you are at 70% then you get like 1 or 2 wrong... in only a couple of minutes, you will be all the way down to like 50 percent! It's just not fair and that's why I and everyone in my class hates IXL.
It is soo frustrating when you get to 99 and get one wrong then back to 90 for more frustrating questions I wish I could put 0 stars but I highly recommend to not get this app
It is the BEST BEST way to put your kid into a complete breakdown. You can make him/her have constant mental breakdowns, and see him/her get frustrated. Its also the best way to turn him/her into a nuke! The constant setback with its lenient punishment for getting a question wrong is THE BEST! There's ONE MAIN ISSUE; for some reason, after I do ixl, my computer always is folded in half again, and has a few more cracks in it. It also for some reason, has this green thing with small boxes and lines and letters... I don't know
Ixl makes me slave away 100 hours a day. I have not seen my family in 22 straight days since 1/2/24... I miss them so much. Please bring justice for this horrendous site that won't and will not EVER let me catch a break. For over 432 days, i have been slaving away. I thought it was a harmless site, but NO! I was happy to join the time, but like iready... I slave away, each day, crippling loneliness... depression. Justice to the slavess of IXL
Tip for consumers:
DO NOT BUY THIS APP! ITS HELLSPAWN FROM THE DEMONS $#*! COMBINED FROM ALL OF THE $#*!ING HELLS YOU CAN THINK OF!!!!! AHHHHHHH

MATH
The only reason why I didn't put 1 star is because the only thing IXL is good for is a good reason to give out prizes. My teachers give prizes to the top 3 people on the leaderboards. I found this cracked strat called HP.14. Search hp.14 in the bar. It will give you so many correct questions for math IXL leaderboards. Watch the video for guidance. (By the way, I did not buy it. The school district did.) [6th grade]
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...

Ixl is complete nonsense. The smart score point system is completely rigged. Oh good yay, I get 3 points for a correct answer. Oh no I got one wrong! Guess 15 points should be taken away? It's way too unbalanced and the fact that it's so easy to assign this as homework in great bunches is honey bunches of horror. Unless you want a torture device, I would recommend not buying this
Tip for consumers:
Proceed using this sight with caution

Everything assigned sucked and took hours of my time
This app is downright horrible. Please do not waste your money on this, it turns your day upside down, and leads to intimate depression. Instead of making me like a specific subject, it makes me hate the subject, even more, there are other websites out there that deserve to be used, unlike this one.The examples don't even make any sense. Yeah, it helps me with what they show me, but when it's a problem, that the example doesn't show, how am I supposed to know the answer! It is very frustrating and is a app from hell.
