IXLReviews 670

THERE SHOULD BE A 0 STAR RATING FOR THIS. LIKE IT BARELY GETS YOU ANYTHING IF YOUR RIGHT, AND REDUCES THE SMARTSCORE BY 10 EVERY TIME YOUR AT 99.

IXL sucks, No other words it's sucks it's bad for mental health I have spent (at the time of this review) 61 Hours and 53 Minutes and answered 7,163 Questions it sucks and needs to be banned from the US School system and any other country that certifies this "Learning site" and it also is bad for children's mental health (In 8th Grade in the time of this review) Overall it's bad, deserves to be banned and I would go back in time and find the owner and change history if I could.

Bad dont use

Honestly, this app alone keeps all anti-depressant companies in business. In my personal opinion war crimes only exist because of this "learning" application. If IXL never existed, Hitler wouldn't have been so mad.

IXL is just bad, your kids and you will be mad. I have seen many kids in tears from IXL, they are upset because after all of their success then they get a question wrong and they lose their progress. There are many things wrong with this program, I will NOT use it in the future. The kids are upset by it and it is just frustrating overall I am glad I stopped using it. So take my advice and stay clear.

IXL is way too hard for children. They get close 100 but then ONE QUESTION WRONG, they get bumped back too far. It is not easy for children to be doing it. As an adult, I find it hard to do it as well. Kids in pre-k will get stressed. But why is pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade even on there in the first place? I don't think they would be very happy if I told my kindergarten kids they would have to do IXL. It is easy for an older kid, but it's not suitable for them. I find it funny they put questions that are more suitable for an older grade inside a 5th grade (or under) lesson that is better for 6th or 7th. I let my 5th grader do this for a month and she got tried of doing it so we quit. It is good for a crazy smart kid? Yes, but not an average one. They membership is so expensive! That is enough to buy food! Yes learning is important, but, it's so expensive! My kid couldn't handle it anymore. She would quit through half of a lesson! Which I could understand. I tried it, I couldn't do it myself!

Ixl would have been an amazing learning tool if not for one issue, the smart score you gain lessens over time. You start off gaining 8-10 points per question before it plummets to around 5-7 and it keeps going down the more questions you get wrong, this can make it very easy to get 4-5 questions wrong in a row and never be able to get back up without getting another one wrong, also when you lose points it does not curve so you always lose around 15-20 points per wrong question. This combined with no walkthrough lessons make this much worse than much better programs and alternatives such as Khan Academy and things of the sort. Overall, unless you want groaning students and crying at home, do NOT use your money on this and instead donate some to khan academy, Which is free. Fix the curve and I might use it.

Ixl is honestly hell and i hate it sm i honestly want too smash my school chromebook to pieces because of how mad it makes me the answers dont even make sense sometimes IXL IS TORTURE

Okay, so im a 5th grader with bad grades, with 60%'s and below. And my grandparents force me to go to this webstie or sort. It's very hard and made me cry a few times. My teacher knows that i use IXL since my grandma told my teacher that, but the point is what im making is IXL is an SCAM! And can make your kids cry or such. If your an parent and reading this, DO.NOT.BUY.IXL! And when i use IXL, it didnt boost my grade. I hate this website. (background:i used IXL since 2nd grade, and it made me angry and sad alot of times, i used to be an A+ stundent not because of IXL its because of my father. But now im stuck with this IXL webstie for everday to use.)

Whenever I use IXL It's a hit or miss. It just depends on how well I understand a subject. I'm assigned these a lot but whenever I get a wrong answer I can go from 91 to 84 like WHAT?! It's so stupid I hate it so much :/

I am personally 10, in 4th grade. I have had to use IXL multiple times. I absolutely hate it. I would delete the website with no extra thought. IXL can be extremely hard and unforgiving. Let's say you're at 99.3 questions later, 80. Then this process can repeat a few times. You can probably see my point. If you are a teacher, I would not recommend IXL.

IXL's point system is painful. In the later stages of tasks, when you get a question right your 'smartscore' (which I think is a pretty stupid name. It suggests that your intelligence revolves around this one revolutionary task that you'll forget about in 5 minutes) Increases by 1 or 2, but if you get a question wrong it decreases by 7 or 8, putting you back as much as 8 questions. I hate it. Do not recommend. If your teacher is putting you through this, file a court case for child abuse. I send my prayers.

IXL Is a very unfair and extremely time-wasting app for kids/teens because if they were at, let's say 96 and they get one wrong *BOOM* have fun being at 72 kid and i legit broke about 3 mouses from using the IXL program so I personally don't recommend. Another problem with it is that it will never tell you what went wrong with your answer and will proceed to take almost 17 points from you no matter where you were. I could write a novel on how terrible and raging IXL makes me, but I don't want to waste your time the way IXL does so take it from me guys go burn your device if it has IXL on it.

It is a bad experience and they say "fun math and language arts games with prizes and learning games! It is the perfect resource!" but it is boring and uninteresting, and misleading. And it does not help with tests. Our average grade percentage in my class is 80% but on our tests on IXL was about 65%.

Be better make it more fun please the website is trash if it was a food it'd be in the trash where it belongs

If I could give this a 0 star review I WOULD. IXL Is very very stressful. It is just hurtful and this point. I dont learn anything but depression from IXL anymore. Whenever my teachers assign IXL I have to restrain myself from bursting out into tears. My father is a teacher and he thinks that IXL is absolutely horrible as well. Please, everyone who has had to deal with the utter stress and dismay of IXL, please we need to come together as a people, to shut down IXL.

Ixl do too much it makes u go back so far when u miss one answer and if u at 95 its pushes u back to 83 it make me mad cause i been working on ixl forn 2 hrs they need to be banned or re make this betta when u at 93 it pushes u back to 85 thats just not right

I've used this so many times in math. And the prizes they give out IF you succeed are just Japanese paper folding. What can you do with paper?! Considering that it's a school program is unreal. I cried too many times trying to get a 100, but even if I did, I still wouldn't be motivated to learn. And get this, the challenge zone is just for a sick joke. It basically forces you to use a calculator. And the SmartScore? Horrible, broken, and RIGGED. I could go into the Challenge Zone and get 1 or 2 points earned, but if I get a question wrong I get 10+ points taken off my SmartScore. I think that the people who wrote the good reviews are forced to do this because the program told them to because is it that good? Nope. Read this review I found from a site. It says IXL is an "excellent" practice tool that is best used to "supplement learning". Don't you mean terrible and make kids break their school computers? My advice? Use iReady. It was better than the garbage that is IXL.
