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
The point system goes up by 3 or 4 points when you get it right but when you get it wrong it takes you down 15-20 points Ixl is rigged and it gives me a lot of stress
Tip for consumers:
DONt USE 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.

Hey yall wassup. Its Jeffery from Alabama. (68-year-old male) My cousin divorced me last week and now I'm left homeless and living in the ghetto. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds or money to send my child Telemachus to public school, but somehow, I have an iPhone 15 to give him IXL on (Yes, I feed him). Every day I force him to get off his lazy a#$ and do the different variations of the quizzes in this app, and it's going great! Telemachus's mental health is deteriorating, but that's alright. As long as he knows how to solve for x. He is continuously learning how to say new words while practicing IXL, like f%$#*, b!tc$,@4s, and p*$$#. I'm so proud of him! The only complaint I have is that whenever I get my phone back to go on t!nder, there are always new cracks and punch marks on it, but I'm sure it's just a glitch! Telemachus lets out shrieks of joy similar to a hyena whenever he loses points! I'm so glad to see him having fun while learning.
Overall, IXL is a great app! 10/10 recommend if you are a homeless, 68-year-old man living in Alabama.

This website sucks more than a website made by a four-year-old child. This website keeps me awake at night hoping to god i don't get assigned any more work.
Tip for consumers:
DON'T EVER USE THIS SITE
I would go on IXL for homework and IT WOULD SUCK! LIke, I would go on IXL to study and I would get Instant Depression. Also IXL IS RIGGED! THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF AN ¨EDUCATIONAL APP¨ IS TRASH. SPARE YOUR HAPPINESS AND DON'T GET THIS APP
Ixl is ubfair because it takes away ur free time and its not like it is just a one minute thing, I mean it can be but if you get one wrong it goes down sm and then when u get it right its barley any.
There isn't just smartscore. Oh no people. There are skills that FORCE you to get 4/5 correct IN THREE ROUNDS IN A ROW and worse, skills that FORCE you to get 5 correct in a row THREE ROUNDS IN A ROW and in that in a row there are parts where they send you back to the previous round if you get it wrong and it can't get worse right? WRONG i follow the directions, and BOOM it tells me i'm wrong so in summary IT'S BAD

It is so boring and half the questions are so hard if you get 1 question wrong it takes you back 10 points and if you get 1 question right it only gives you one
I hate this website so much. When you get something right you get one point. When you get one wrong you loose like 10 points... it just causes to much stress it makes me flip..
Its not worth 79 Bucks. The testimonals are fake. They give u five points each question and take away ten points. And if u would like students not to hate u? DONT GET IT
Tip for consumers:
dont get it. just dont.

Ixl is a learning website but in my opinon ixl is a false advertiment its not even ready to be uploaded their is bugs and wrong answers and makes answer up and ruines kids enjoiment and causing depression and myself cant deal with their nonsense and the supscription is bull so if you are seeing this please contact ixl and let the clan begain
I do not recommend IXL because, its smartscore system is trash, it takes away a ton of points when you get 1 question wrong and it makes it so hard for its users.
IXL has managed to be so incredibly bad that it causes tears, broken devices, and in some cases can help with fuel depression. They also manage to steal time and sleep from kids and money their parents and schools. IXL doesn't help with anything except make kids hate school even more. IXL has caused me to stay up very late doing homework which is not good and IXL creators know this (picture below with proof) yet they make it incredibly hard to progress. When you reach the nineties range the questions become harder and you gain 2 points for each correct answer and lose 7 for each wrong answer, they even intentualy made the point loss 7 and not 6 so that if you made it to 98 (one away from finishing) and got one wrong, you would go to 91, after you brought yourself up you would be at 99 which means that because you lost 7 and not 6 you would have to do one extra question to get to 100, which means one more chance you have of going 7 back and raging. I checked my stats on IXL and I've spent 46 hours in the past 30 days on IXL, almost 2 whole days, meaning in 2 years I would spend about a month doing IXL. So in conclusion IXL is evil, they know they're evil, and they waste away kid's lives.
One time, I was practicing IXL on my chrome book, and I was at 70%, then, I got 1 question wrong, and it brought me back to 64%, and then, I got a question right, and the smart score went up 2%! I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT
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

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.)
Tip for consumers:
P.S: If you want to buy this for your kids, please dont its only gonna cause anger and sadness.
