IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

It took me so many questions to get from 86 to 97, and once I got there and misclicked, I got sent back to 88, do you have ANY idea how annoying your SmartScore system is? Your questions aren't even clear. Honestly do better this time.

The smartscore system is unfair. wastes time. makes you tired and mad. All the reviews are bad. Maybe they should see what they are doing to people. Literally the definition of ignorance. ALL of the 5 stars reviews go on the top. THATS SO ANNOYING. that’s just not okay. I bet it’s just a bunch of employees of ixl or something or teachers who like to see their students suffer. if you push kids too hard then they’ll end up not learning anything! You stupid? Were you born under a rock? Don’t you know how it feels to be stressed and overwhelmed ? Don’t you know how it feels to have the PRESSURE of school? Or did you have a perfect little life all happy and healthy without having anything to worry about? Don’t you see all the bad reviews you have gotten online? Or you too busy looking at the good reviews? One good review, and you think your app is good. Grow up. This is unbelievable.

Ugh... This is the worst learning platform I’ve ever used. As a student, I absolutely do not recommend it. It teaches nothing, just throws questions at you without explaining anything. Get one right: “Yay, +2 smart score.” Get one wrong: “Oh, there goes all my progress, now I’m back to 22 points.” I can’t stand this platform.

Ixl makes it so that the learning that it advertises as fun, isn't. The repetive questions and fatal loss of smart score that plagues users that make it to the challenge zone make learning unfun, and that is why most of my teachers only make us do it up to 85% or do 10 minuntes of it.

Ixl was an incredibly traumatizing experience for me. I started using it in elementary school and luckily it stopped when I I entered high school. Ixl gave me su!cidal ideation due to how punishing the smart score system is. Teachers would only count them as completion grades, so even if you struggled for hours and had 99%, you still got an F. It was my first taste of true futility. I hope this company goes under.

Ok, to start off, i have ADHD, which makes it hard for me to focuz on repetitive tasks. Ixl makes it feel like torture because of that. The scoring system is rigged. Litterally. You have to reach 100 to do a whole lesson. For math and english, its smartscore. Which at the start goes up fast, dips slow. But over 70 smartscore it goes up 1-3 score per right question, and goes down up to 15 SMARTSCORE FOR 1 WRONG QUESTION. Science is a bit better. But instead of smartscore its like a video game. Get 2-3 right, collect tokens. But problem with the tokens is that sonetimes for getting a question right you only get half a token. Theres like 10 full ones. Sometimes your dont even get ONE. Ive talked to my friend who also uses ixl, and we agree english is trash. He said word for word he got a question saying 'Alan is very good at riding the bike. He is going to the tv show to compete this summer, as he just learnt how to do some new tricks on it.' And you had to pick what is was meaning to say - 1. Alan is good at riding bikes, 2. Alan is going to the tv show to compete. 3. Alan is learning new tricks. Isnt it all? Nope. Only that alan was going to the tv show. IXL has also got questions or info wrong, so when i answe right ixl still says NO. And the worst part is that its repetitive and strict, that i remember when i was young finding division and being so happy. Now ixl has crushed it so much that when i see it i try to avoid it. I remember being happy about achivements and learning, and now ive been destracted from ixl and trying to avoid it as a whole. Now since im year 6 and doing division takes me an hour or 2 for 1 lesson. ONE. That says a lot, right? Just.. dont use ixl. I told my dad and he said 'Well isnt it just tough? Work through it.'

Sucks I hate doing it it is hard I don’t learn

Worst app ever doesn’t teach us. This “learning tool” is used to prepare for staar (it doesn’t do anything)!🤬. My teacher assigns one every day, she even had to make her own activity because IXL was so bad! I even tried to write a review at school but they wouldn’t let me because they don’t want us to know what IXL has been doing.
