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.

When I read the 1 star review

When I read the 1 star reviews, the grammar and spellings are so bad that I can not make out what they are trying to say. I reckon they need more IXL and approach it in a more conscientious manner. I am a parent and my kids have thrived with IXL . It gives clear answers and workings when they get it wrong. I use it to revise myself.

Living hell for everyone involved. Wish I could rate in the negatives.

Okay so ixl is the worst “learning” app ever. At my school, I’m forced to do ixl every week. My ela teacher will assign 2-3 and my math teacher will assign me up to four a week. That’s 7 max per week plus diagnostic. The ela isn’t that bad but the math kills me. If you don’t complete the ixl, you are then punished by taking away your free time. This happened to me once, and in total it took me 45 minutes just to get it to 85 so I could consider it done. But what’s so wrong about it? HATED: Every student in my grade hates ixl. It’s really stressful and makes me want to cry while slamming my iPad into the wall while screaming “DUCK YOU.” SCORE SYSTEM:Then there’s the screwed up score system. So the first question you answer, you get about 14 points, right? Yeah, however, the more you go up, the less points you get. Not the worst scoring system, right? You’re missing one small detail. Oh look, I’m at 60, now the more I go up, I’m going to only get 2-3 points. Yay, now I’m on 87. WHAT?! WHY AM I AT 77??!! All I did was answer ONE question wrong. It sucks all the points out of you like THAT. And ixl makes kids think that a number called their “smart score” is going to define their life and their smarts. And say you knew the right answer. So you put it in. For example, the question says y=?. Y and x are going the same rate, so you put y=x. That’s what you were trying to do, but you accidentally do y=z. Now you lost 10-20 points because of a misclick. Then you feel like you’re stupid because your “smart score” will never reach 100. LEARNING: Ixl does not equal learning. It’s an excuse. I could learn more from googling “how to do [insert problem here]” than from using the “examples.” So once I was doing some math, right? I didn’t understand so I look at the example. Now I understand it, right? WRONG. I never actually understood the problem (thanks so much), I just had to put in what I thought was right and waste 45 minutes of my life including valuable free time just so I could mark it done (not even at 100, only at 85) and learn NOTHING. Ixl does not teach you anything. If anything, ixl has made me significantly dumber. Ixl annoys me so much with its accuracy, too. Sometime something used in a certain way will be correct, and other times it will be incorrect. I do something the same way I got it correct last time and it’s WRONG!? And then I’ll include in this section the “need a break?” I click the “need a break” just to be cast to another “lEaRnInG eXpErIaNcE.” I’ll believe it when I see it. The lessons are also terrible and I feel like I’m learning nothing yet losing my will to live. It’s like I’m losing brain power from ixl. Like one minute my brain is ready to learn and be smart and then it’s “ixl time” and I have to sit there as my brain chips away and my skin rots. It’s all a stupid waste of time. REWARDS: So what can ixl give me? NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. Schools and parents will spend money on something that’s not worth it. Oh, but did I mention the stickers. “DiD yOu JuSt SpEnD 20 hOuRs oN iXl? hErE, hAvE a DiGiTaL StIcKeR tO FiX yOuR pAiN.” “Ah yes, I did waste 20 hours on ixl this week. Thank you so much for your kindness I will take the digital st-“ NO. It’s seriously not worth it. You spend your money and learn nothing, but at least you get a beautiful sticker! You want a real sticker. No. Only a digital sticker. Just don’t buy ixl. It will hurt you mentally and physically by slamming your fist into the iPad and snapping it in half. Ixl sometimes makes me want to quit school all together. OPINION: Do NOT get ixl. It is a waste of money and time. It’s rigged, it’s stupid, it’s an excuse for suffering. You learn nothing and it hurts you overall. It makes you want to scream, to cry, to not exist This program has just caused so much time WASTED and tears shed. It is NOT WORTH IT. Do not buy, do not use. The excuse to make kids go through hell. There are so many better learning apps than this one, if you can even call it a “learning app,” since you learn nothing. Best of luck to all those who use ixl. And to Paul Mishkin, please delete it, and burn.

Sorry for low rating

IXL is completely fine WITHOUT the Smart Score system. Personally, you can use it like a supplement , but don't make it primary. Sometimes, when I get to 99, one wrong answer, it declines about 10 ( that the least) I'm grateful that my teacher only set limits for IXL skills to be 80+.Hopefully the next teacher won't set us 100 for each skill.

It’s ok

It’s ok. The ‘how to’ example only shows one version of a sum when there could be 3-4 other methods needed to know to solve maths. English is irrelevant in a lot of areas.

IXL is possibly the worst EVER app in the world. I hate its point system and the way if you get a question right you go up 1 or 2 but if you get one WRONG, you go down like 17 points and its bad. Very disheartening and depressing. DO NOT GET IXL.

What is with the negative reviews??!?? This is a great tool. It has really helped us to focus on the few areas my daughter was struggling on, this has boosted her confidence in other areas of her maths. Would give a 6th star if I could. (and another for my daughter for trying so hard :) )

A Reasonable Review|IXL Learning

IXL is so bad. When you are at 98,get 1 question wrong ,and get slammed down to 88. Also,the website uses a SmartScore system which is the singular reason for all the 1-star reviews. Like this one. When you get a question right,it gives you 1 point.But when you get a question wrong,it slams ya down 10 points. IXL,please change this and I will give a 5-star review. P.S. The people that rated this 5 stars are dummies(or bots made by IXL to help up its rating)
