Review summary

Reviews for IXL Learning overwhelmingly reflect dissatisfaction, with a staggering 81% of consumers rating it poorly. Many reviewers express frustration with the program's scoring system, which they describe as discouraging and damaging to children's self-esteem. Comments like "this program is like making me very dumb" and "it crushes a child's love of learning" highlight the negative impact on students' motivation. While a small percentage of users appreciate the program, citing positive experiences and effective learning in subjects like ELA, these voices are drowned out by the chorus of complaints about the app's inaccuracies and the emotional distress it causes. Overall, the sentiment is predominantly negative, with many calling IXL a waste of money and urging others to avoid it.

IXL makes me feel the quote no pain no gain is worthless

It is true that you have to work hard in life and push yourself even way harder like said in the quote "No pain,No gain" but it is really stressful. I have been using different ways to learn such ans doing presentations and memorizing them.Although Ixl does a good time telling children they need more work but it brings stress and discouragement.I used to use it for like a whole year and sometimes they tell you there is a mistake which is when there is none instead they just lower your score for no reason

Log in (X4) nightmare - AVOID

Multiple passwords, usernames, secret words, emails - and when you fail you're told to contact customer care. Writing this on Christmas day - can't update my nephew's new tablet cus cannot reset password. This is driven by IXL greed - it's way too complicated for regular parents. I'm unsubscribing after paying them a fortune - there are other ways.

Terrible 😞

Terrible. It makes me sad and a bit sick to know that people LIKE ixl. I used it a few years ago and I thought I would never have to see it again but, this year I have to use it again. People need to know that ixl is not good.

Please, fix the system

The rating system is so cruel, you or your child will get demotivated quickly and their rage piles up faster with the absence of answer explainations

IXL is Hell

IXL is Hell, up 2, down 14, up 2, down 14, just put it in already! this app is horrible and has absolutely no reward for getting a question right. I get trying to challenge a kid but by subtracting 12 points for one question is ridiculous. This is basically a cult of math or whatever problems you work on, I would rather take it from the back than do IXL.

DO NOT BUY NOT WORTH IT!

I recently bought a IXL package for Math, it is absolutely horrible. I cannot describe how bad it is. The home screen is very complicated and messy (it takes 10 minutes to find the right lesson). Another example is; if you have to calculate a slope of an angle it will say in small letters on the bottom of the screen "Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer" This is absolutely not clear so if u want to answer it will say it is incorrect because you write it as it is shown. Also there is no clear explanation so dont make the fault I made by buying it!

Great Support in Finding My Next IT Role

BHL Digital made my job search much easier. They quickly understood my experience and career goals, and matched me with a position that aligned perfectly with my skills in software development. Their guidance through the interview process was thorough and professional. Within weeks, I secured a role with a tech company, and I’m excited about the new challenges ahead. If you’re in the IT sector and looking for a role, I highly recommend working with them.

Why I despise IXL

Ixl is quite the company, from making it almost impossible to complete your work, to not explaining how to do Better. I swear they couldn't do worse while trying to not explain what you did wrong. All it shows is the question, the answer you put, and another question that you're supposed to learn from? The 'smart' score system is a nightmare to try to succeed with. The points lost for a wrong question and the points gained are contradictory. You gain 10 points and lose 1 on the first question. Then it swaps with almost no gain and taking multiple questions. I've almost maxed out my English levels, but it took me 61 questions to get 72 smart score. I don't even understand how it works. One time you get +5 points to a 60, then you get one wrong. After 2 more questions you are back at a 60, but you only get +4 points? I swear Ixl makes you get a 99 just so that they can be petty, and have you done one more question and risk losing everything to get 1 point. "Maby you are just bad at this topic 🤓🤓🤓" I don't care. You are annoying and only take pride in your 1200 in grammar. You have no skills and have somehow convinced yourself it is the only thing that you need to succeed. You have no friends and even less social skills somehow. The questions also make no sense they ask the most mind bogglingly worded questions with weird kids in the scenarios. One of my math ones said that a kid likes to play educational math games in their free time and made a graph on how many points they had. It's so annoying that they have people come up with the scenarios like this trash. I remember a question scenario from 5ish years ago because of how dumb it was. Here's how it went: "We need to make a math problem that kids like" "Don't they like video games?" "They do! How can we incorporate that into math?" "Let's make them add videogames!" Thats how we have the question; Jake has 5 videogames and buys 7 more videogames. How many Videogames does he have now? I'm sure everyone loved that question. The schools here made me do 20 minutes twice a week of Ixl for both math and English. All it does is make people mad that they gain 2 points and lose 6 at a smart score of 80. The smart score only means how many questions you need to answer for the report to be filled with good looking bar graphs. I don't understand a topic 5% less if I get the 10th question wrong compared to 1% less if I get the first question wrong. It's probably them trying to be accurate because of how your brain is being fried with anger. Thanks for reading my rant. I'm very annoyed rn at Ixl after having to do 2 'learning' assignments. Hope y'all have a good day and purge your mind of Ixl and its annoying nature.
