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
It is bad it is rigged it does not have a good system and is bad for children to learn on. I really hate it beacause it makes me cry like a baby
It is terrible it is in accurate most people hate I don't recommend it and no one should please don't download

I think ixl is stupid if i'm at 99 and I get 1 wrong it brings me back to 85 it sucks, it sucks, it sucks so bad.
I actually hate IXL so much that I would say my teacher, "Can we please get other programs other than IXL?" and she would say, "No". I personally believe that IXL is pure [CENSORED] and [CENSORED] because of its corrupted Smart Score system. Khan Academy and others are so much better than this piece of [CENSORED]. I wonder who made IXL for. Did they make it hell on purpose? Or are they stupid and don't know how to make a good learning program? [CENSORED] this piece of [CENSORED]. I just hope the teachers who don't assign IXL because it is a piece of [CENSORED] are the teachers who don't want to make school hell for them. I want to [CENSORED] this learning program because it makes kids cry and their moms get angry at the teacher for making their lives horrible and making people smash their computers over IXL's mind-controlling Smart Score. Please, please stay away from this program. It is a very bad thing for kids that are young. Some people commited suicide over IXL. I salute the people who don't use this piece of [CENSORED].
Tip for consumers:
Enjoy absolute hell!

It helps people learn about math helps with science gives homework for teachers.it also helps people to learn about the world
I have to do this in school and I had to do it and the answer was marked as wrong i was so upset at the website.
It's all balls. It's all balls. 0 out of balls stars. Why is this so balls. Balls is all this teaches me that is why we burn IXL
Over all it sucks a lot, i put a correct answer and it said its wrong, it also has very annoying bugs such as the prizes, thequality and even more!
I'd recommend this site better than study island, that's all I really have to say.
Character limit, begone!

Their smartscore is just broken and simply rigged. Plus their motivation system for children is at a really low level.
IXL minused 20 points and all you get is a sticker if you do well!
Idislike it because the point system is annoying
My class uses ixl for learning, however after the score 90 it puts you in the "Challenge zone" I was at score 95 and I got 1 question wrong and it brought my score down to 78.
I DO NOT RECOMEND IXL!
It murders my brain when i am in 90 it gives me 1 point and when i get it wrong i get back to 70, i DO NOT reccomend this to anyone unless you want to become a banana brain or want severe depression
You have to have specific grammar and if you don't you get it wrong. You also go down so much for a wrong answer so ixl is doodoo

DO NOT USE OR PAY FOR THIS STUPID AWFUL PROGRAM. This program makes me get tumors every time i use it. If you like this program and pay for it. GO DIE!
Ixl, well what can we say about it. Oh, its trash is one, and more and more and more
Teachers obviously haven't tried ixl, because they constantly assign it. The teachers are just to lazy to assign anything else that requires them to do effort. Also, it doesn't help believe it or not, because when you get one right in the 70's up, you get 1-4 points. Get one wrong, and you go down bout 10 points. You then have to do another 5 minutes of grind to get back to where you were. Im in 7th grade, and ixl makes me freaking depressed. I rage every afternoon when I get home from school. There is no limit of questions, there is no time limit, and the teachers could care less if I spent 2 hours or more on one ixl lesson, trying to get a better grade on it so I don't fail the class.
And I remember my class constantly asking my teacher if we could do something besides ixl, an he always says that he thinks that the punishing system of ixl is good. I hate him. I not only rage, and frick my chromebook, I also cry, and feel depressed, because every night I go to bed, knowing that I am gonna get more ixls the next day, and then I will have to do it all over again. What kind of teacher who gives a s*** about there students would use this app? Look at the reviews, the parent ones, and the student ones. 90% of them are 1 star. And yet teachers dont care. I hate ixl, I hate my homework, I hate studying, I would rather do anything else for homework than this crap. There is also no reward system in this crap education app. You get mastery over a skill, and you get a crappy achievement that you can do nothing with. When you get a question right, then you only get 1 point, knowing you just lost 10. And then you realize that your making zero progress. I would give nearly anything to get a hack for this website, or better yet, it going away. At this moment, 10 minutes ago I was doing ixl, and I am stuck at a 79 with a time spent on it of 2 hours and 30 minutes. I have to get a 100, and I ask the teacher for a time limit so I can stop at a certain point, but of course she says no. Damn this app. Damn it. I hate it so much, and its hell, and it makes me feel like a piece of $#*!.
Every site is just like ixl so what is so bad about this app its just an app that hasnt really done nothing to you all of yall are haters
It's the scoring system in the 90s you go up 1 and go down like 5, not that god it is cruel to kids like meee
If you get one thing wrong you bassicly restart very bad would not recomed did not like my son hated ixl
