IXLReviews 670

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]

I could never get a question correct! I was assigned it every night for homework and threw a fit because I had answered 47 questions and only at 28 percent. IXL is all about points, NOT MATH OR WHATEVER SUBJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON!

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

If you get one question wrong when you're about to finish, it will take away almost half of your score and you will have to do it all over again.

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.

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

Almost every day i have to do it and right now i am in tears because of this stupid website that brings dawn my motivation when i use the website every thing about it is stressful from the points to the questions and its not like three are real instructions like what the absolute!

IXL sucks and has caused me multiple mental breakdowns especially when your parents are in favor of it and are making you not use a calculator when you very clearly need an effing calculator. Also, my teacher assigned ELEVEN FREAKING IXLS THE WEEK I LEFT FOR KYA THAT THURSDAY. And my mom wont agree with me that ixls suck and are causing me soo much stress and she is nagging me bc I can't remember what the heck they are and is threatening to ground me bc I don't have half of them done from last week (the week I left for Kya) and have a B in math. Don't get IXL. Save yourself the pain

Ixl is trash ounce you get past the 90 percent it gives you crazy hard question and is overall very stresfull for students and we even get hw on ixl its HELLLL! Ixl is a sumb website.

One day I was using my IXL. And then I got a question wrong and it sent me back to 69% and I got very angie. I threw my computer on my window and it ended up hitting Paul Minkshin (the ceo poopy of ixl) and he got really mad so when he took me to court, he ended up losing and took my family hostage. He said it was just for jokes, and that he was No Cap just kidding with me and just Joshing. Not only is he a kidnapper he also used to attack babies by selling them glizzies that were actually laced with cyanide, so I think he should be in jail! That is a racial attack by griddying and doing the renegade on their graves like he just git a victory royal :(

IXL made me have mental breakdowns. I've always thought i was stupid because i could never get any of the lessons to 100 EXCEPT some I've learned in 2nd grade which was FOUR YEARS AGO, plus the fact that I have ANGER ISSUES. This review is to tell teachers, any grade, that IXL isn't worth it, some kid is in a mental hospital because of this. IXL brings me back to 60 OR 50 when I'm close to 80, it's too stressful. Overall, this website is a 0.2/10 and its THE WORST.

IXL IS SO BAD BEACUSE IT MAKES ME CRY GET ANGRY AND GRUMPY so i will probably need therapy AND I HAVE TO SAY UP LATE JUST TO FINISH ONE LESSON AND YOU KNOW WHATS WORSE U HAVE TO IXLS ONE FOR HOME AND SCHOOL BOTH MAKE ME RAGE AND HIT MY COMPUTER moral of the story: NEVER USE IXL EVEN IF YOU WILL GET AN FFFFFFF

My family was living happily till my daughter came across Ixl I thought it was normal till she got abducted by Ixl's alien agents and I haven't seen my little sence
Then my son found Ixl and he got abducted by Ixl and now all he wants to do is Ixl so I threw my dad at him so he stopped playing but now I'm abducted by it

IXL is in my opinion the worst teaching skill because it takes off like 5 or mor points if you get one wrong.

I'll has caused me so much anxiety. The smartphone system is so stupid, just building a child up just to knock them down again. I spend 5 hours on one little practice because of the point system being so rigged. My mind gets so fuzzy after a while and I can't focus on this crap. It's so harsh on students.

Tips for educators and parents: do not buy this! Has given my friends severe depression and aanxiety.makes me so mad at this app for giving me so much anxiety from this

I am in 8th grade and have been using this app since 6th. IXL is beyond frustrating and I think we should not be using it (especially with these types of reviews). There have been too many times where I have cried over an IXL. I hate how when you get one right you only go up anywhere from 2-5 points, but when you get it wrong your score goes down like twice of how much you went up. Once my friend broke their computer from throwing it on the floor because of IXL. It has cause too many problems and I hope that my school will eventually stop using this app.

BTW DO NOT USE I_READY! IT MAKES IXL LOOK ENJOYABLE!

IXL is the worst freaking app ever. Whoever invented it should go crawl into a ditch and die. IXL does not help in learning because whenever you get a question right, it brings you up about 2-4 points, but if you get one wrong, IT BRINGS YOU DOWN 6-8 POINTS! This is especially annoying when you work really hard to get to the 90 and it just bumps you down back to 79! It's extremely unhelpful, annoyingly tedious, and makes me so aggravated that I just feel like chucking my computer across the room. I DESPISE IXL with all my heart. DO NOT BUY!
