IXL - Math, English, & More Reviews

I have been using this for about a month and I am already getting mad. Here is the reason why, today I was at 99 and I accidentally pressed the wrong button and that question was an automatic submission. And just because of that I went back down to 83 and I knew the answer. Today I also decided that IXL was kinda glitchy because I always count the last few seconds when I’m done and I know 100% that I ended on 4 minutes and 53 seconds but it said on my score it took me 5 minutes and 5 seconds. Also please at least put some boosts in this really really awful app because when I get a question wrong I don’t even waste a second on the things it has to say I just move on. I would like for the boosts to remove the timing part( for a whole session of course because it will be waaaaay too short of it was only for a few seconds.) And IXL is like pay or no play because it only gives you about 40 seconds to play for free and then it doesn’t let you do it anymore or you’ll need to pay 20 dollars for math and language arts without the social studies or science ( witch is my favorite lesson) and I am NOT OKAY with that. But if you do make this very very very very very annoying and boring app better I will give a better review and rate it 3 or 4 stars (5 if you lower the pay, please it’s way to expensive.) Plus I bet everyone else will rate it 4 or 5 stars instead of 1 or 2. Thanks if you do it. And if you don’t I hope you survive all of the bad reviews.

IXL needs more work done to it. I’m a student so I am using it on my iPad for school. The handwriting thing needs to be worked on more, it glitches up (a lot). My teacher is having me and my classmates use this for math. The glitch is where I write something in the box thing and it thinks it’s something entirely different. This is an issue because when I submit it, it says that I got it wrong when I actually got it right. And thus sends me down the progress bar, which is vary annoying. I suggest maybe having a whole lot of people write down numbers or whatever, this way if you progress it into the system it will understand more. My handwriting is just fine by the way. There is also more glitches with the workspace area when you write in it. I suggest checking that out too. It’s when I put my pen or anything on the surface it lags and makes whatever I’m writing super hard to read. This makes me use a different app for writing things down to replace a work area. Maybe you can partner with a company that does stuff like this, or fix it on your own. I hate IXL because of all of these bugs. My teachers made us move to IXL from freckle. I personally don’t like that decision. Just because IXL needs some serious maintenance. Just shut IXL down for however long you need to to do maintenance, the users aren’t going to die cause of that. Thank you for reading.

I am a parent and a teacher. I really like the concept behind this app and find the choices of skills very thorough. It is a great learning tool in many respects. My kids used to love it because they would get stars they could click on for prizes.
The problems come in when a child gets something wrong (or simply puts in a comma for a number like “1,000” when IXL is designed to expect “1000”). this app will mark them wrong and take them back at least 10-20%, after which they can only get back extremely slowly. My daughter has sat at the computer in tears and bawled about how “mean” it is.
Due to all the frustration, complaints, and tears from kids and parents, my children’s school stopped offering this app this year and switched the it subscription over to Prodigy. I actually switched my own kids over to Time4Learning to practice because it is much less harsh. It will tell them what they got wrong and explain the reason without expecting them to do a huge portion of the lesson all over again to regain their points.
I would encourage the people behind IXL to seriously consider revamping how they tackle “wrong” answers and typos. I get that a kid can need a little more practice, but when it sets them back so terribly far, it takes all the joy of their successes away form them and leaves them devastated. Not good:(!

IXL is horrible. it has made my kids cry multiple times and is just downright evil! its point system is the worst I’ve ever seen! if you get one right it’ll give you 2 points but if you get one wrong it’ll take away 20! both of my gifted high achieving kids came home in tears because of IXL/website! its outrageous! my childrens’ confidence in all subjects has gone downhill because of this absurd system. the ‘challenge zone’ is the possibly worst thing coded into an app. it goes one point by one from 90 and takes you back to 70 if you get a question wrong. i shouldn’t have to stay up until midnight helping my daughters with punctuation as the other swims through mountains of variables and exponents! its astonishing that these teachers are so blind to whats right in front of them when they assign this to children. IXL is absolutely absurd. the next time my daughters get assigned this app, I’m talking to the teacher. i refuse to have my children and other children put up with this. anxiety can be a very large problem with growing teens and tweens and this website helps cultivate it even more. this is such a downright silly system and i feel horrible for the young kids whose parents make them use IXL. its the worst thing you can do for your kid and and is the least encouraging form of practice for these poor students.

Really stressful for kids and it shouldn’t be it should be some where where they can learn about tons of subjects. When you go from a 99 to an 82 it’s really stressful to get back up there even if you just get one question wrong. This is usually where teachers go to give their students an assignment they’re currently teaching. And its not good because it puts a lot of stress to our minds. Which can lead to many bad things. To be honest, you might wanna consider cutting us kids some slack because some of us had worked super hard to get to that 100. Oh and one more complaint just coming from myself. I was once and at 81 and then got the next question right and got up to an 82! I wasn’t in the challenge zone! I was still in the 80s! The challenge zone is where you only get one point one question when you’re in the 90s! This might be a silly complaint but still consider fixing IXL. It’s actually kind of a game which is most games. CONSIDER IT!! Some kids and I have too have had tears in our eyes because of the stress IXL causes us. Staying up late and trying to to this so we can get a passing grade. Update: For example, when you do a couple problems and get to like a 60 the difficulty automatically changes! You could at least try to make it harder as we go not if we just get to one question

I have been stuck with using this app for years, and as a student, this is my point of view on this app. When doing this app, the amount of problems that you get assigned on later grade sections are too challenging. Not in the sense that they are bad math questions, but the sheer amount of questions combined with a low risk+high reward point system lowers my motivation to keep moving through a section of this app. The minimum amount of questions you need to answer correctly is 30, and every wrong answer adds another 2-3 questions. Sometimes more, if you are unlucky. This specifically is what teaches kids "Huh. Why should i do all of this work when i can use an automatic calculator?" This massive mistake lowers motivation to work, and needs to be overworked. The help section rarely helps either, if you do not know a concept. In my case, i have to go to a seperate website to look up how to do the concept, Khan Academy. Let me tell you with 100% certainty that khan academy is far better when teaching new concepts, and mastering old ones. Instead of a mass amount of questions, you simply have to get a specific amount correct in a row, which is much more preferable. Take it from me, and try out khan. You will not regret it. Sal Khan is a hero to learning.

Good app good examples all those stuff but still for four stars one reason why is because of bugs, one bug I experience is the two answers correct bug there is two right answer but you have to pick a specific one to get it correct, another one is wrong answer bug because probably know this bug so let’s skip it, but a few more reasons why 4 stars. 2nd reason There is really no background knowledge support that’s the thing I’m looking for in this app but just example are not really that much please put background knowledge into it that’s why I brought this app 3rd reason why 4 star is because it’s not so motivating I mean badges are not really enough
5th reason is pretty small but have to say it is that it’s hard to actually find something really challenging I mean challenge mode is not bad but more of the same thing so please fix all of that thank still great app

IXL is just something to waste of your time on it is supposed to be about helping kids learn but all it is during is letting kids cheat on it so there can get over with it. Also when you get something wrong it should not have to push you back from it. It should just stay at the number is on. Like if you 60 and you get it wrong you should let it stay at 60 instead of pushing you back at like 50. If you went to my school and you were in 8-12 grades if you use IXL some kids stay up till 5 in the morning on IXL because if it is 89 or under it is a 0. That means they will be tired and some kids would sleep in classes so you are taking there learning time away by them by letting the students catch up on there sleep in classes so there want learn anything while they are there. The teacher should be helping us with something not this stupid app because that is they job. If you are homeschooled then you could use this but if you really think about it IXL is supposed to be for people that is homeschooled. If you use IXL then I suggest you use another one that is a lot easier to everyone then IXL because IXL is not even letting kids learning what they need to learn.

Some people are writing reviews about how bad this app is and honestly I used to think so too, but now I understand the purpose of this app is to teach you not to just turn a blind eye if you get a question wrong. When you get a question wrong, it puts you back so many points because that way you will get more practice and actually understand the stuff. If you get a question wrong because you don’t know the answer, this app provides an explanation - if you read it you will understand the question. Again, the point of this app is to teach students so if you get a question wrong, read the explanation carefully and you will understand. If you are trying to finish as fast as you can, you should still read the explanation - it will actually help you get it done faster. So this app is a really great app and I would definitely recommend it. The only thing I wish this app would change would be the automatic submission on some questions. Thanks for taking the time to read my review!

this app homework wouldn’t be a problem if this app wasn’t the worst learning app ever created. I tried to practice parallel structure, but after I did one exercise, it was just repeats of the same 15 questions on all the other ones. Even the other grades parallel structure questions are identical. I can’t practice if I’ve gotten to the point of seeing the first word and have memorized the answer because I’ve seen it 5 times.
Teachers don’t understand that this app’s so called ‘explanations’ don’t make sense, and are NOT a substitute for actually teaching us. Their point system is one of the most discouraging thing I have ever seen. It would be different if you earned 5 points for correct answers, and lost 3 or even 5 points for incorrect answers. But when I get to 99 percent and my finger slips, or I forget to add a coma, boom, down to 83 and I’m slamming my iPad on my bed and screaming. If your going to go through the process of creating a torture device for children, at the very least make the point system better. IXL symbolizes all that is wrong with the educational system. Don’t download unless you want your computers and iPads to be thrown on the ground and your students to hate school, especially math.

Ok, many people have written bad reviews. But I promise this one is true, I really promise. Over time, this app has fixed some bugs & issues, which helps the people now. this app has got some really good stuff & questions for all grades. It also has stuff that's not grades, like Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, etc. Like, amazing. For people who are in grades Kindergarten-8th, this is perfect. I'm a student, but OMG! Amazing. I can't even explain how good it is! One thing I love about it is, you can also do it on mobile. And PC. And on mobile, you can actually draw! You can use a pencil, and a highlighter. I have used this for 2 - 3 yrs, and I have loved it. I recommend this a lot. [ Edit ] Hi again! So, here’s my new opinion. Basically, this app can be very frustrating. I had used it today, and felt like ripping my hair out. Literally. I got so frustrated, and I was only testing out 3rd Grade! 3rd! this app, if your reading this, step up your game. You need to make this easier! I spent 20 min just trying. For 3rd, don’t forget. So, once again, I give this a 3/5. Sorry, but it’s the truth.

I like this to help me in my math and language arts, but they got lots of mistakes, I like this but let’s talk about the score you get when you get a problem correct or wrong. I did this and when I got a problem wrong, it will just take 12 or 13 points away AND when I get a problem right, it only gives me 1 or 2 points and I wasn’t even close to the challenge! Also there is no music and it’s kinda makes bored and the noises in this learning app is just the noises when you get it wrong or right. I hope you understand and that am not sending hate AT ALL and that it needs to liven up. So please do not get mad and fix those mistakes please! (Extra) It also lacks the colorful theme and that it should have coins, gems, tickets and I’ll tell you why. The Coins can be use to buy power-ups like have a second chance or unlock new subjects. The gems can be use to buy awesome power-ups like buy the themes and makes your own avatar. The tickets can be use for spicy challenges like making the problems ALL CHALLENGING. I really hope you add those things because I will send a 5 or 4 star if you do, And have a good day!

I have used this app for four years now and although it does help me learn new concepts their point system is messed up. Once I wrote an answer and included a comma but the system said that my answer was wrong and made be go back about 10 points. Another time I was at 99 percent got the problem wrong and I was bumped back down to the 70s. This is NOT ok. Students like me work hard to achieve the the score their teacher require and when we make a tiny mistake or mess up a little we are taken so far back that we get really frustrated. We then weigh the costs of not doing the this app. For some of my counterparts choosing not to do the this app and getting a bad grade is better then continuing at the infuriatingly slow pace back to the top. Those of us that choose to continue doing the this app may spend hours trying to get back up to our previous score because the number of points you get per question has been reduced and you are set so far back. this app should take a serious look at their system and decide how far is too far back and reevaluate how much slower their users pace should be after a simple mistake.

I have been using this to do my math lessons for about a year but when I get one wrong it brings me down so low! It really stresses me out and when I make my way back up, I get one wrong and it knocks me all the way down. When I use to be in class we would have our time to finish our lessons and I would hear my classmates get stressed and say, “Nooooooo!” At home I do it the most because I don’t want my classmates hear me get stressed and cry. I have a little bit of anger issues and when I get really frustrated I break down and cry. This isn’t helping. I know you didn’t make IXL to stress kids out but it does! And when I get to the 90’s it goes up by 1! And if it brings you down you go down like 6 points! It takes me so long to finish a lesson because of this. I wrote this because I’m stressing right now! I put $5.00 as my answer and it said I was wrong so I scrolled down and it just said $5. I got it wrong because I put and decimal and 2 zeros at the end?! That made me mad. I’m am currently stressed and I don’t want my friends to be stressed anymore, please at least fix the point problem. Thank you.

I downloaded this on my phone to make us easier than going on the laptop, and it is. It is much less harsher than the lap top and I like it better. Only problem is how many points it takes away if you get it wrong. Especially if you actually got it right, but you typed a letter wrong or added a comma. If someone gets it wrong, take away less points. It would save lots of frustration. Also the prizes. Boring. Not very motivational for anyone above the age of six. If there were bonuses or something you could use to lose less points that would be nice. For example, instead of getting a prize like a shoe or a boat, you would get a save that you could use during a skill. If applied when losing points, you could lose less points. I hate when I want to get it over with but I lose points right at the last question. Except for that, no problem with it. Been using for two years. Definitely try it out, see if u like it. 👍🏼👍🏼

IXL is really annoying sometimes. Some of the questions are auto-submit, so whenever I accidentally press an incorrect answer it removes so many points. For example, it asked what the capital of Louisiana was and I tried to press Baton Rouge but pressed New Orleans by accident. 😡. Also, science is the most annoying topic in this app. Basically, you have to get 4 or 5 questions right in a row before you can pass the stage, and there are about 3 or 4 questions in a stage. I was at the last question of the stage and since science in this app is very annoying, I got the question wrong. I was extremely mad. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡>:(. Once I was at 99 and then I got the last question wrong and it took soooooooo many points off!!! I was really frustrated so I quit. I really wish somebody fixed this. The challenge zone is really annoying too. For some of the topics, the challenge zone questions are almost the same as the first problems. But in the challenge zone, you only get 1 point per question. AND when you get a question wrong, it takes off, like, 20 POINTS. If you fix these things I will give at 5 star review.

I give this app 2 stars bc it is supposed to make you focused 🧘‍♀️ in your studies n’ stuff but I get distracted but the way I get distracted is by saying I can do it bc it’s just that hard and other stuff 🎞 I didn’t give it one star bc Im not mean and it kinda helps me learn but It is like never ending but when your in the challenge when you answer 1 question right you get one point like what was the reason- that’s doesn’t make any fracking sense and when you get ONE question wrong you go down like 100 point like ok jeez you might as well start me from the beginning so if you get triggered easily I wouldn’t recommend this app but if you are persistent,patient and hardworking like others then go right on ahead it all yours 🕰 but in my opinion you cannot excel with this app. And on a side note the time is wrong so I don’t get most of the reading patches like for example if my true end time was 9:06 it would say 8:56 so what’s the prob lol i don’t really give a flip but still that

I would give it a 3 star if.... IT DOESN”T KNOCK YOU DOWN TO LIKE 83 WHEN YOU ARE LITTERALLY ON 99 LIKE SERIOUSLY. The other bug is that its very laggy. Also it works horribly compared to prodigy which is 1. FREE 2. Make kids like it more. You should like make it a bit funnier and maybe give a joke if you master a section or something. Other than those 2 bugs i will look on the bright side that the lessons are pretty good but those 2 cons make it so the bright side is very hard to pay attention to. That’s why I’m giving it a 2. If you fix the first reason i will give it a 4 and if you make it a bit more fun than i will give it a 5. The first thing shouldn’t be that hard to fix right? RIGHT? I’m sorry but it is really annoying that it knocks you down to like not even 85. Just knock it down to 87 or something ik that you don’t want them to continue the very hard challenges when they don’t get the problem which i get but still just change that so they won’t have to do 5 more problems just to get back to the challenge zone.

My child Is in 2nd grade an is practicing days of the week. I am with her as she does it in case she needs assistance or explaining. On a few of the questions, such as “ Which day comes after Thursday” My daughter answered Friday, and it marked her as incorrect and said the answer was Saturday. It mark her answers wrong continually, several times in a row, even though she was without a doubt correct. We did a few more other lessons and there were several times where it marked her as incorrect. I have screenshots as proof. This was very ridiculous and stressful for both of as as, the smart score drops drastically everytime, a problem is incorrect. Again, I have screenshots, please fix this bug, I can’t image that there are several other practice modules in different grades that mark students incorrect when they are in fact right. Please fix this.

I’m a middle school student and my district does this app. The thing is this app is a bad program. Yes I do learn but barely. First if you get a question right it only goes 1% or 2% up. But if you get a question wrong it goes about 10% or 30% down. It takes about half an hour to complete a lesson if you know the material and a hour or more if you don’t. It’s also boring to students. Some teachers assign it as homework like in my school. I do the homework but it’s very boring. There’s nothing entertaining about it like other websites/apps I used in my previous school. Next the lessons are too easy for the grade. The lessons I do for my grade are way easier then expected. I was expecting a challenge like some websites/apps do to help people learn but no. The lessons are more like for the grade behind the one you’re actually in. The only good thing about this app is the diagnostic. It’s actually a diagnostic that makes sense and actually helps people learn. If you’re a parent or teacher looking for a website to use for your kids or school I would NOT recommend this website/app.

So, I’ve been using this for 4years now (kinda forced to do so). At first I was like ok, whatever. It’s for school right? Up till last year (6th) it was fine. This year however, nothing has been saving and my grades have been dropping dramatically. I have not been able to show any work nor hand it in. I’ve told my teacher who handles this program for my school and said that she couldn’t really do anything about it. I asked my friends about it as well and they have been through it as well. I asked them how they went around them and they just said that their teachers never really used it anyway and they didn’t have any problems. For now, I have had to use my teacher’s account to do my work during class and try to bump up my grades. I don’t fully suggest this as the best choose but if you’re too lazy to browse for educational websites, I think that it’s ok to use for beginners

It is a really helpful tool for learning math with your kids and I think it was worth it. The only reason I give it 4/5 stars is because it doesn’t really teach the kids anything. It has questions that make the kid understand the topic better, but they don’t teach the topics. One positive thing is that it tells you how to solve the problem if you get it wrong and tells you the formula for solving the problems. That is why I would probably recommend this app if you want your kids to learn something new. Also, I have found out that if you force your kids to do it, they are less likely to do it. Don’t be too strict and everything should work out for you and kids.

this app a very strange game to speak about some people absolutely love it while others hate it I went through reviews and seen one star then five star over and over some people argue that it is a simple and working game while other think it is a increative waste off time I don’t believe either of those statements it’s not award winning but it’s not absolutely trash it has a few redeeming qualities but also things that hold it back from becoming a better game on the good side setting children back can help them try harder but also can make them feel like they will never get it done the levels are uncreative and monountous they can also refrain from distractions but this keeps kids uninterested o could have math mini games mixed in toast least keep kids entertained. The style of the game is cute but boring it’s simple but too simple not in the cute way with more effort this gam could be great it just needs a push in the right direction

this app is amazing! It can teach your child all about their just-right-level math! Your child can start only knowing how to count to 10 and finish knowing how to count to 100! IKL has all exclamation points because it educates your child so well! If you're trying to educate your child better, update this app and your child will be ahead of their class A LOT. And I'm only typing a period because I'm trying to emphasize A LOT. (Same for that sentence) this app has so much great information about math and how it functions! If your child does this app, they'll know algebra by the time they're in 4th grade just because this app educated them so well! So update this app and get your child to know math a bit more complicated than their level to get them to compete in highly-skilled math tests. Have fun learning MATH with your child!

This is the worst educational tool in the world. It gets you some sort of satisfaction when you finish a skill, but it can literally take 30 minutes, to finish one simple, skill. To finish a skill you have to get to a 100 smart score. To get that, you have to correctly finish all the questions. But as a human, you might accidentally push a wrong button, and you are at the 99 smart score. It takes you back to like 86 smart score. And that just gets so frustrating, so yeah....AND ALSO! There was this question, and it was what is 0.1 multiplied by 0.1, I was like this is so easy, so I typed in .1, and I pressed enter. IT LITERALLY TOLD ME, ohhh, your answer is WRONG! I WAS LIKE OMG! I calmed down after a few 100 hours... and I went on google, because duh! And searched is 0.1, the same as .1! And it was like YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Long story short, I threw the laptop out the window, sooooooooooo, moral of the story.....DON’T YOU EVEN TRY PRESSING THE INSTALL BUTTON, BECAUSE YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY REGRET THAT, AND “this app” WILL TAKE UP YOUR STORAGE THAT IS LEFT AFTER TAKING 1,000 PICTURES ON YOUR PHONE!

This is a great app for kids who are struggling with math (Like me). And I LOVE doing IXL! It makes math seem more fun and challenging, and I love challenges. :) But, at times it can be extremely stressful when you are doing it for 1/2 hours at a time. Your body gets so caught up and stressed that you can’t even think when using IXL. But honestly, this has made my math skills EXTREMELY better. And as a fifth grader who can’t even do multiplication, I NEED IXL in my life! It’s very easy and I recommend for kids OR adults struggling with either teaching or learning to GET IXL ASAP! This is amazing because I learned so much and I have only been doing this for a day! I now know my multiplication, dividing, and my expanded number forms! Thank you, this app, you made my life so much better!
With love and joy -

Long story short: IXL is dumb don’t waste your life on it

IXL is the dumbest thing ever it doesn’t give very helpful examples when you get something wrong and it’s especially frustrating when you accidentally hit submit instead of 9 and then it takes you back 40 points and you have to answer at least 10 questions (and get them all right) to get back to where you were.
I think they should have a double check where if you get a question wrong it should pop up and say ‘double check’ or ‘something’s not quite right’ then you can check over it and if you accidentally click the wrong number you can save your skin. THEN if it’s still wrong it should take you back BUT only the same amount as it will move you up.
Please take this into consideration and actually do it
IXL, as it is now, causes a lot of anxiety so if you have it and your school doesn’t already require you to use it DO NOT USE IT it may break you
Also I’m very resilient so I will find a way to write this same review as many days as I can until this changes
So change it
Thanks

Edit..... YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED IT YET YOU STUPID CHILD
Thanks
- someone who is definitely younger than you but calls anyone that is suppose to be on if not above their mental level but is not at the moment stupid child
And I’m actually going to try this time so be prepared

this app isn't the best app. I feel as a student, that when they tell you you got a answer incorrect then explain it to you, it makes the pupil(s) frustrated. You don't understand the concept so your getting farther back then before. I will say, I am always try to reach for the prizes. Its though extremely hard to get when your getting put back. It makes the kid doubt that they’ll get past it and bores them. I suggest if they get the question wrong, you ask them it again after explaining how to solve it. It should be like this other app we have. When you get the question wrong, it says Nice TRY! and moves on and after you get the following 1-10 questions your educator has assigned it goes back to the questions you got wrong and keeps asking until you get it right.
I really hope you take advice from a pupils side of video.

Hey, I’m not a real big fan of this app. In fact, it’s so horrible, I would give it negative 5 stars if I could. Every time I try a level, I end up getting like, “yay! I am at 99 points and the total is 100!” But then you get the last question wrong so I’m back at 81 points! The hate it when that happens. Plus, if people hate it so much, then would you be playing when your at calculus? Because there is a ENTIRE column for that stupid thing! And in one column there are about a million levels. Plus, you know how in the 3rd grade levels the limit is 31 questions? And if a question is wrong it COUNTS as a question? Well, I learned it the hard way because once I had so many questions wrong, that I had 69 questions before. And please, just please with raspberry on top, FIX this app!!!

P.S. the point: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH this app❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
P.S # 2 the worst/stupidest/dumbest app EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I added this in my review: once it took me 5 hours for 1 level and it took, well, guess what? 122 questions.

IXL itself is actually pretty good, it's well set up, easy to use, and it has some really impressive and unique features like being able to physically write the answer. HOWEVER!!! I can not get over the fact that every time I use it I get insanely frustrated and usually end up uninstalling it. For one, it's just not very fun, sure there are some fun pictures at the end when you complete a skill, but there isn't really anything that's fun, or intriguing, or actually makes you want to use IXL at all, learning should be fun and this most definitely isn't. I also hate the fact that it sends you back when you get something wrong, and that's not a big deal, but at no point should it send you back father the amount of points you get for getting it right. That's all I have to say, other than that great app and really helpful.

If I could give it a zero, by all means I would! Horrible app. Worst app ever designed. If you ever want to feel validated about something as a student, read the bad this app reviews. If my teacher assigns me this app, i op for a failing grade instead of the misery of using IXL. The only thing I can think of in creating IXL is torture. All teachers and parents who use IXL, use khan academy. this app is the main cause of anger issues, depression, satan, and of course all broken devices. When your 98 goes down to a 36 when you get one question wrong, what’s your first reaction? Punch your device (or whatever’s nearest). One simple answer to solve all of these problems is to outlaw this app. In 6 grade, my class devised a plan to skin Paul mishkin and dump him in a vat of acid. Not my idea but hey... Paul mishkin created this app for those of you that didn’t know. This is the most I’ve written by choice in a while. I would rather write an entire essay then do one this app. To sum it all up, this app is the torture straight from the devil.

Even if someone were to stab me 87 times, I would not even consider giving them the torcher of this horrible, horrible app. Because we do not have plagues or medieval torcher anymore, Satan himself created IXL to make students’ lives miserable. It does not teach skills, you’d have to know everything about your skill before completing this this app, which kind of defeats the purpose of IXL . It does explain what to do, but it’s very confusing and did not help, so you’d have to have a teacher on hand to tell you what to do, again defeating the purpose of IXL . If you spell one thing wrong, or type a period instead of a comma, instead of not gaining points, like a test or homework or any other type of school work, you lose points! Once you get near the end you only gain 1 point and lose about 8 points! It’s extensive torcher and in summary I’d like to delete it from the earth and exterminate all people that have created IXL .
