IXL LearningReviews of ixl.com

IXl is possibly the worst learning website. When you try, it punishes you. And people just use Google and play games anyways. I could have a 96, 2 questions wrong, then it goes to a 58. It's the worst. They have to shut it down completely and FIX IT!!!

IXl is terrible. when you get into the "challenge zone" when you get a question right it gives you 1 MABEY 2 points. but when you get get a question WRONG you lose 20 point!! teacher please dont use!!

I lost so much smart score when I was at 99 percent :[

I HATE IXL WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE. I genuinely cannot put into words how bad this is for kids. IT'S NOT JUST THE SMART SCORE. The grade assumptions are extremely Innacurate. Also, the questions are offensive. IXL wants to help people but it only damages kids mental health and self esteem. IF YOU ARE A TEACHER OR PARENT DO. NOT. MAKE. YOUR. KIDS. USE. IXL. unless you hate them. IXL can also create technological damages, because when I’m on it, I want to throw my computer across the room.

Practicing math at home is important, but this platform makes the process far more tedious than it needs to be. Many problems that could be solved quickly on paper become unnecessarily time-consuming when forced through the online interface. The format often requires multiple steps and input methods that slow students down instead of letting them focus on the math itself. While the system may make it easy for teachers to assign and track homework without grading everything manually, the experience for students can be frustrating. Tasks that should take only a few minutes can take much longer because of the platform’s structure. Instead of reinforcing concepts, the process can feel repetitive and discouraging. Math practice should help students build confidence and understanding. When the format creates unnecessary friction, it risks doing the opposite—leading to frustration and making students dislike the subject rather than improving their skills.

I am in the 6th grade and this app sucks as it doesnt really teach you anything. You only answer questions multiple time in a row. And the "smartscore" YOUR TELLING ME THAT IF I DONT GET A 100 IM DUMB?!?! This app has caused me so much stress at one point i refused to do it to avoid that stress and got a 48 on that assignment. One time i had to do it for homework and it caused litteral tears i was so upset i went to my grandparents and they felt terrible and sad to where they didnt make me do it that night. If i could give this less than 1 star I WOULD. If you are a teacher or a parent seeing this please dont make your kids do this torture.

Ok ixl this is bad. Im a 7th grader and most of my teachers use this "learning platform" and instead of it making me think "im good at this" instead it gives me a "this is torture" mindset and i genuinly think that this website has given me depression because im at a smartscore of 79 almost done... Then get one wrong and im back down to 57 smartscore. And most of my teachers give like 5 or more ixls per week to the class and im still on the second one because im getting questions wrong and getting set at 0 while i was at 50 smartscore

IXL is a literal HELL.When my Teacher tells me to go on IXL, I see my SmartScore go down to a 50. It's like it's telling me in my mind to just quit entirely. I still want to go to Collage and I wanna get my degree, But it takes off 10-15 points and it makes me feel like I'm worthless and stupid.
