IXL

So, my personal experience with IXL isn't to grand, but that doesn't mean it is a bad website. When you get a question incorrect it explains how to do it the right way. Thought challenge mode might need to be more challenging it is still good.

Would I recommend IXL? Yes, I do, it is excellent for learning Math easy.

Its mostly about the point deducting…. Get one question right and you get 1-2 points! Get one question wrong, 5 points or more is taken off…. Definitely a good system! IXL really knows how to make children have a sobbing session!

I really just don't like ixl. I often practice for long periods of time and ixl only counts it as half. None of their subjects are even mildly interesting and it just stresses kids out. And according a another review kids raging ixl have broken devices we have to do so much ixl and all the other work makes it hard to do it. Don't waste your time or money on ixl. Its not worth it.

Ixl makes everyone feel dumber than a rock thank god my school doesn't use this I am only in 3 grade. My brother uses it and it just causes us to hate ixl more and more.he. I could spend 24 hours on 1 skill and only be use to like, 30.

On the question it said write 2 7/12 in words and the plural of twelve can be twelves or twelfths, not just twelfths so over all i give it 3.5. Because you can go in contests to win a 32GB Ipad sometimes and sometimes a 330$ Visa card and i payed half the money to get Ixl for a whole year so i get my money back.

Thanks,
Parent -reviews from IXL

I am currently in grade 7, and we do IXL everyday for 30 minutes on certain assignments. Have I learned/improved any of my skills in advanced Language Arts, advanced mathematics, science, or social studies? No. I haven't. And this is coming from a nerdy kid who LIKES school. I absolutely try in every class and enjoy my time there, but IXL is such a draining portion of my day. It would be much more efficient to just have study hall during these 30 minutes of my day. Because my homework at least makes me somewhat better than IXL.

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 and stupid website for people whoo want to be annoyed. To much money as well. Say you are on question 99 about to finish. Oh no not quite right you go back 14 questions and one right move forward like two spaces. Yes its good for children moving in reception but when you are in year 7-13 that where you just wanna scream and cry. If i could i would put 0 stars. #takedownixl thank you for you re time unlike ixl wasting it.

Its teaching people that getting mistakes are wrong, which is NOT true. It's also really fustrating when your doing so well and then you lose 10 points from a single wrong answer. I would not recommend if you want to learn.

Ixl needs more improvements the worst thing to do when you do ixl is when your smart score goes down. Sometimes my teacher asks why I take so long to do this ixl and I say it's because of the smart score
But they don't believe me. But overall it's a nice app to use am happy that we don't have to get homework anymore and thank you for reading this.

Ixl sucks so much. For example once i had a smart score of 99. Then i got the next answer correct then it stayed at 99 then i got the next one wrong because i did 7.5 as an answer and they wanted 7.50 and it dropped it down all the way to 78 even though 7.5=7.50. So teachers don't spend your money just to torture children

If you fail one question in like the 70s then you go all the way back to like 62 if you fail in the 90s you get pushed back all the way to 79 and when I'm done with the ixl thing I don't remember anything from the ixl also every time I get pushed back a lot I get angry and the quality is really bad.

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.

I hate this app, it is incredibly demoralizing, and I've seen so many people cry over it. Would not reccomend! I've also seen kids smack and hit their laptops over this. It doesn't explain the answers well enough for you to solve them later.

Just so $#*!ing annoying. Would rate zero stars but I cant. The problem about IXL is it's rigged. The point system is glitched and it doesn't help kids. I looked at recent reviews and it actually makes students less engaged in the lesson IXL has to offer. Also, I found that some of the lessons make you assume genders.

It was so boring. I can't figure out why the smart score goes down so much. I have a list of complaints.
#1: It could go on forever. You have to do more questions for each wrong one.
#2: It makes me cry.
#3: If you put something like 9.5 It will be wrong and and say its 9.50
That's why You shold ban IXL.

I would advise all educators and parents to stay far, far away from IXL. The "curriculum," if you could call it that, is stressful for the kids and has led to self-harm and harm to others before. It is ranked 650th of teacher-helping apps, so if you really need something like IXL to contribute to your teaching effectiveness, there are at least 649 better options overall. It would be in anybody's best interest to not download this app from hell and subjugate your pupils or children to it.

I'm a second grader and Most of my teachers assign IXL to us on the daily. We go home, sit down, answer questions with a correct/incorrect point ratio of +1/-8, you can get up very high, near 100, just to have it all destroyed by an awful question. If you get it wrong, it doesn't do a good job of explaining what you did wrong. It just says you got it wrong. Thats it. It isn't hard to grade, either. Just open the lesson and write the number. You don't have to write assignments, assign bookwork and grade it, anything and everything is done by the site. This website has led to computer damage, suspensions, and tears/pain. It isn't good for mental health. People have had full-blown breakdowns because of this. I would only wish this pain upon the teacher who assigned it. In short, stay clear of this website. I salute the teachers who dont assign IXL.

There are so, SO many 1-2 star reviews out there, yet some parents and teachers (and even schools) still use this forsaken website. I have a lot to say in the picture attached below. Anyways, IXL should be gone by now, since it's literally a scam. It asks for a heaping ton of money in exchange for ruining young lives. I hope that someone in authority would finally put that "thing" 6 feet - no, 10 feet - no, FOREVER UNDER! Hopefully, IXL will go away or be changed to stop tormenting everyone who's used it before and nowadays...

I hate IXL it makes me lose confidence and it just sucks in general. The amount of points you earn from gaining and losing score is very unbalanced. Unlike other math programs like khan academy that help you with problems IXL thros that idea out the window and resorts to a punishing method of forcing you to answer question after question under the pressure of a stupid timer. I hate IXL and hope it gets shutdown soon. 0/10 for me do not use this math program

This so bad I am on spring break and have to do this so bad I hate this don't use makes you break you phone don't use please waste of money give me ******* dollars back for the hard times got a tattoo saying ixl sucks

I hate this website. I hope your family rots in the pits of hell with the skibidi toilet fandom! PAUL $#*!ING MISHKIN IM LOOKING AT YOU! BAN IXL

I would stay away from this app. IXL has made my friends cry multiple times before. In IXL, there is such thing as a challenge zone near the end of the questions. You only get 1 or 2 points when you get one right, but when you get one wrong, it can take up to 20 points away. And to get back up to where you were, you need to answer about 6 questions. I have spent hours on some of my IXLs before and most of the times, I have multiple assigned by multiple teachers.
