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

Takes me back ten after getting one wrong. They keep the question difficulty up at challenge zone level although I alr dropped down to 50 fix this thing up
this program is like making i very dumb if i wrong one this program give me too much -score but if i get correct answer i just have 30% of my wrong score wtf ixl is very miserly
I love this program . My daughter is five and already at half way through grade one . I love the scoring system and when she sees it hit a hundred she is so excited. Yes it does make you go back more if you get it wrong but this teaches your child to pay attention better and makes her do more questions so you know she is really understanding the lesson. Best thing I have paid for online .
It's horrible with a bad background and a stupid smart Score that increase the amount of points you moved down and decreases the amount of points you move up
Talk about crushing a child's love of learning. My daughter spent a lifetime chasing her own tail, getting pushed back so far each time she got a question wrong, the frustration and disappointment in her face was awful. No other platform we've used has done this, it's just brutal. Permentnatly deleting her account as of this morning!!
Less than a second for science i quit it is that bad
IXL is poopoo because it made me throw my first computer then it made me throw my second computer then my 3, then 4, so it owes me $2000000000000000000000000000000000 worth of computers so pay up ixl
Waste of money!!! They should give a 3 month trial. Sometimes when they get something right the app says it's wrong and my kids don't enjoy being on it and I've already paid for a year!
First off, IXL uses AI to make their lessons. Which wouldn't be a problem. The only teensy, weensy, problem it's that AI IS WRONG 85% PRECENT OF THE TIME LIKE GOD D*MN HOW COULD THEY NOT SEE THIS COMING. LIKE OF COURSE THEY GET BAD REVEIWS!!! But that's not the only problem. NO, they go onto websites and put fake good reviews to make themselves look better. Another thing that P*sses me off is the fact schools still pay for it. And with simple calculations I can calculate how much we could be saving in the USA We spend around 998400 Us dollars (Every Year) on IXL. We could be doing a lot more stuff with that money like paying off the state USA's debt. Did you know that right now as of 5/20/2025 The current USA's debt Is $36.21 TRILLION? That is more than Elon musk's $203 billion pay (as of 2024.) All while IXL is making Billions of dollars yearly. Another thing that is wrong with IXL is how it Affects people. Sure, you may learn how to calculate decimals but at what cost. A few years back I went into depression And IXL was just pushing me deeper to the point that I was having entire panic attacks over questions. Needless to say, we need to ban IXL I set up a petition page that Will allow us to ban IXL.
Ixl is one of the worst things ever, everyone in my school hates it. First of all, that smart score thing, OH MY GOSH DO I HATE IT! I went all the way up to 96, got one question wrong AND WENT DOWN TO 50! LIKE WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can someone please fix this. Thank you.
I've never hated a something more than this app. The emotional trauma and damage this app has put my class through is insane. My soul genuinely aches when I complete tasks. I work on IXL for 15 minutes for all my progress to be gone with just a single wrong question. For those who are considering trying this app DON"T. JUST DON"T! Kids in my class have cried from the suffering of this app. Kids broke their computer because of how much this app infuriates them.
Teachers, please read this, the ELA is GREAT. I love the ELA. But the math is horrible and the smart score is messed up.
rawr. just rawr
not going to lie but its just mid
IXL should get banned every single time I do a question It says it's wrong I even checked it with a calculator
when you get it wrong on the science it's sends you back i will glad an update on that to change
It gave me the 5/3x thing I tried putting it on my calculator and I got it wrong its rigged
This sight brings more stress than anything they should be bankrupt this is the worst sight ever
I treid so many apps before and never got to like anything. IXL is amazing, if an answer goes wrong - it shows a detailed explanation , we experienced no problem understanding it. No unnecessary information, it explains what’s needed. We are using it mostly for practice and understanding concepts. Best part is - no annoying sounds n videos. Like baby shark. I uninstalled most of the other apps the moment I downloaded it. I m happy, we got IXL.
As a person who uses IXL I don’t like my class doesn’t like it it’s just trash, the explanation is so hard to understand, if you get a question right, fantastic, pluse I point you miss a question sorry you have to start all over as a person in 5th grade and suffers from IXL just don’t use don’t wast your time I have cried for doing IXL over an HOUR and getting 50 out of 💯 yes I know and nobody cares about the stupid “ prizes” you get just don’t was your and your self respect and self of steam ok 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️FIX IT
I was doing my ixl today, but I got it wrong. IT HAS HIDDEN CAMERAS It said suffixes and It said PREFIX WHEN I GOT IT WRONG
