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.

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... See more

this app sucks

this app is so bad,i been doing ixl for 2 years and from personal experience ixl will literally answer a question correct and still get it wrong then it takes away 10-15 points but once you get it correct it only gives you 2-4 points and the explanations are very bad,so don't listen to those two guys name Muhammad and Stephen giving the app a 5 stars

it is awful ixl compared to most other websites

it is awful ixl compared to most website is the most punishing learning out there, if you read stephens review that calls us "entitled children" he doesn't have to go through pain or agony he just chooses a course and sends it off to his sons not having to do any work, so no it is not a good site and is a poor mental health choice

HORRIBLE…

I do not like this because when you get one wrong you go back like 8 but if you get it correct then you only go up 3 and also the examples are horrible I don't even get it but for atom learning if you get one wrong you don't go back it just explained what you did wrong and IXL just drives me mad when I kept on going back, so I don't ever recommend this at ALL because the kids will go MAD this is horrible DO NOT USE THIS AT ALL!

A great app for kids

The negative reviews to IXL, are from entitled children (that’s not being harsh…read them for yourself and be the judge). Their complaints have little to do with how IXL supports children’s progress, which is why I am so pleased that I didn’t listen and have pushed on with encouraging my sons to use it. I’ve seen an improvement in their attainment in English and Maths, in the two years since they started using it. What I love: 1. Ability to tailor it to follow the national curriculum 2. Recommended questions based on areas for improvement 3. There are education themed games that they love playing once they’ve finished their work 4. Sends weekly progress updates/reviews to our emails What I’d improve: 1. One for science? 2. A third payment option for quarterly? 3. Support for students doing 11+ ?

App is amazing. Try for yourself

I used this app after advise from a friend for my kids and its been amazing. I was a bit sceptical at first the reviews which I saw here but I can say from experience these reviews are not a reflection of the benefits of this app. I picked an example to explain why some of the review even doesn't make sense. USER WROTE: Whole website is absolute torture unless you are a pro at the skill you are currently doing. MY EXPERIENCE: The app starts the basics which is divided to different sections so users can start from a more difficult section if they feel comfortable. USER WROTE: There are many cursed things including: 1.the fact that you lose score more that you gain at a certain point MY EXPERIENCE: This is done to ensure the user knows the topic in question. If a user fails a question, 2 or 3 similar questions are giving to ensure the user knows and not pass it by chance. USER WROTE: There are many cursed things including: 2. the time counter which is used to count how long you have had to struggle with the questions. MY EXPERIENCE: The timer is not used to judge how a user has struggled. This is common sense that if you spend more time in certain section to understand it, your time counter will be more. This is not used to judge how you struggle but my kids can use it as a metric to see how quickly they were able to do that section at the second time of trying. I think this complain by the user has to do with mindset. The app can only do so much USER WROTE: There are many cursed things including: 3. The fact that you can't retry problems that you failed. please allow people to retry the problems. MY EXPERIENCE: This makes no sense to me. When u fail a question, the answer is usually shown before you proceed to the next question. Retrying it makes no sense. The idea of the app is to know concepts of how solutions are achieved and not give you brain dumps for an exam CONCLUSION: My kids overall performance has improved greatly in school with my daughter now even able to teach her mates due to her understanding the concepts. Success comes with patience, hardwork, practice and time. The app works but not if you are looking for magic 🙂

Ixl is not a good thing

Ixl is not a good thing. I have done it at school and it does not help at all with school. We already have enough stuff on our backs like hours of homework and now we have to do ixl. The reason they have an hour counter was for ixl to check how long they were able to torture kids

made me wanna unalive

ixl had to be one of the most traumatizing experiences i went through as a developing child. i was struggling with math and my neighbor recommended my mom i use ixl. when i told my neighbor's daughters of the occurrence, they sobbed with me as they new another soldier had fallen, taken too soon from this cruel, unforgiving world. it made me reach one of the lowest lows in my life and i genuinely would not wish this god forsaken website upon anyone. this has to be a modernized torture method for the young, developing mind. this thing this website whatever you call it is inhumane and degrading. i hope ixl shuts down and i never have to experience again otherwise i'll be driven into sewer slide.
