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
Lemme tell a you that one time i was doing easy stuff like 3rd grade math multiply by 0 but it said 0 was wrong so ixl is just a bunch of $#*!s
I have slight anger issues and when doing this ixl i punched my Chromebook then threw it across the room and it broke... im suing ixl now
IXL Bad because when you do something wrong g it bumps you back 10 points and is a breach of my schools code of conduct.
ALTHOUGH IT IS BETTER THAN ACHIEVE3000, THE PRICES ARE TOO HIGH TO BE ENOUGH FOR ENOUGH TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE FULL VERSION
Tip for consumers:
MAKE SURE TO SAVE UP

It sucks when you are about done and you get it wrong you go back 10-20 points. Sometimes each one takes up to an hour. Don't buy it!

I liked science and math, but now I hate it. It made my big brother be negative. Don't use the app it horrible.
This website is just a generic math assistance website at first glance, right? Seems fairly intuitive, RIGHT!
That then leads to spending multiple hours on an assignment that shouldn't have taken more than thirty minutes.
IXL is a website designed to cause kids to fail and demoralize them. It may seems like a generic, fairly useful math learning website at first sight, but no. I will go over the main problem first. The point system.
The points system functions by giving you a few points when you get an answer correct, and takes away points when you get a question wrong. Apart from this not being the best way to go about something like this in the first place, IXL has furthered the problem by designing it horribly. IXL consistently takes more points than it gives, which is obviously a terrible choice. Say you get nearly to 80 points, but get a single problem wrong, this can result in the lost of 20, sometimes even 30 points! Keep in mind this occurs when the student usually only gets 2-6 points per question correctly answered. This problem is furthered when the student is put in a situation where they only earn a single point for the last few points. This leads me to the next issue. The challenge zone.
The challenge zone is a section you unlock when you reach ninety points on the test you are currently taking. The challenge zone causes you to earn less points, lose more points, and have (assumedly) harder question than before. When this system is paired with the extreme punishment for losing points, and unfair gifting of points, it can easily lead to mind numbing minutes turned into hours as a student gets a single thing wrong and all progress is lost.
In conclusion, IXL is a truly terrible website that either needs to be completely overhauled to be valid and usable, or removed completely. IXL has a system meant to demoralize children and makes them shy away from learning.
This website makes everyone frustrated and is actually discouraging kids to not do work and it doesn't help any kids and adults!
Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE IT
I remember doing this in school and it made me hate learning. No matter the subject IXL could make me hate it
This just stresses you out and punishes you horribly and gets you mad. I dont recomend. My friend is going crazy because of how much it sucks.
When you want to cancel IXL after 30 days they will not give you your money back. So be aware. They will steal from you.
It is a very bad website from hell. Please do not waste your money on ####.It is not worth your time.
Repetitive, barely teaches you, horrible to use and learn with cause you get something wrong and have to redo like everything
Tip for consumers:
just dont, it sucks and teachers make us seem like we like it but no one does

Not trying to be rude but, Ixl is crazy.Not crazy good. Crazy Bad.Not adding any pics. But, shut Ixl down NOW!
Tip for consumers:
Please regret it instantly
They go by a smart score which does not help students because if they have a bad smart score it makes them feel dumb.
IXL is a program that helps you learn lessons in classes you have. IXL is stressful and can cause anxiety.
It is the most worst site for my child. Prodigy is teaching my kid way better than IXL. It does not teach my kid anything.
IXL is the world's most popular subscription-based learning site for K-12. Used by over 6 million students, IXL provides unlimited practice in more than 7,000 topics, covering math, language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish. Interactive quest...
