I-ready, if you are listening, then please take this into mind. YOU SUCK AND YOU CREATED A GARBAGE APP THAT TURNS KIDS INTO MONSTERS. Seriously! If you could ask every single kid who has ever been required to do iReady, they would tell you that it sucked the life out of them. It is so time consuming and I have spent countless hours just trying to catch up on simple ireadys. If they were shorter, maybe I wouldn't mind so fricking much. BUT THEY ARE SO LONG. So enlighten me. Somebody explain to me why TF we have to do this sh**. Because I am running out of reasons not to throw my computer of the side of the Eiffel tower. If I could give you dumba**es a zero star review I would.

It is torture. It makes me want to die inside. Whenever I do it, I almost cry, and sometimes I DO CRY. It takes hours just to do one lesson. To make it worse, there is two parts. The practice and the ACTUAL ONE SO YOU WASTED YOUR TIME DOING PRACTICE JUST TO MAKE IT TO THE QUIZ AND FAIL TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!

Bad.
February 12, 2025

Firstly, the I-ready characters talk way, way, way too much. When you're trying to respond to a question, they just keep talking and waste your time. Furthermore, when you're doing I-ready, you need to complete an "instruction" course first, and then complete a quiz, but if you do badly on the quiz and good on the instruction, you have to repeat the WHOLE lesson. Lastly, the diagnostic makes your brain hurt so much. It's unbelievable how schools allow this torture for Kindergarteners. This is malarky.

I am a middle school student and I think I ready is a waste of time because 1 lesson can take up to 20-30 minutes, many teachers make thier students do 4+ every week so it takes forever. The lessons don't help you learn, and the lessons aren't even what we are learning in class...in math right now we are learning one-step inequalities, but in I ready I am "learning" in I ready is "write and evaluate Algebraic expressions" which are two very different things. I hope you found this helpful. If your teachers assign it you still have to do it but if you are going to buy it willingly, use a different app. Thank you.

I-Ready Failure
January 5, 2023

The actual workbooks and in-person curriculum create a deep hatred for math. Not only is there no joy, but it is really bad curriculum. I have seen students' scores decline since this curriculum was adopted in our district. It is a very disorganized, confusing, developmentally inappropriate curriculum.

ABSOLUTE TRASH
December 19, 2022

So, I-Ready is a torture device used to suck the energy out of students. Wanna know why? First of all the "characters" are lifeless bootleg sesame street characters that make AWFUL dad jokes. When they're on screen it takes 20 minutes and they take up most of the lesson. Also, there are frequent misspellings like the word "kow." What? They also spelled what I think means Apple the wrong way. Here's how they spelled it: allPe. Even auto correct can't guess it. One more awful thing is you can't go back to the previous question on the diagnostics. If you miss-click and pick the wrong answer OH NO, looks like you failed. Its boring as f*** and sucks the life out of people. DON'T USE!

$#*! I-Ready
December 1, 2022

We live in a republic. We have freedom and liberty. Everyone loves freedom of speech. This website doesn't equal liberty or freedom at all. $#*! this $#*!ty website. The cutscenes are a waste of time and the cutscenes are annoying as $#*!. Tell the little $#*! [the CEO of I-Ready] this: "$#*! you I hope you burn to ashes. 5000 years of human evolution just to get a $#*!ing greedy $#*! $#*! to exist." Because of this website, Kids at schools where they have to do I-Ready such as my school are upset. This website is even worse than Reflex. Even though the pause button doesn't work on Reflex, at least it didn't cause depression! The characters never shut the $#*! up like just get to the point already. Again $#*! you I-Ready CEO and $#*! all I-Ready lovers.

Worst website ever!
November 19, 2022

This place is torture. If you go to both math and reading, The instructions and practice doesn't count in your grade in Iready. Only the quiz does. If you go to my progress and click on completed work, you can only see the percentage on the lessons, but you can't see what you or the students or someone else's problem they got wrong. I-ready also causes SUICIDAL THOUGHTS, ADHD, STRESS, ANXIETY, AND MORE BAD STUFF. I do not recommend this app. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% garbage. I hope this app burns in lava like the other stressful and bad apps.

How can you even explain this bull$#*!?
It's like XtraMath but even XtraMath wasn't that depressing.
As a fellow Anti I-Ready Reaction member, raiding the stupid little $#*!s who actually spent their $#*!ing family time to make a damn wiki for this $#*!.
Tell those $#*!s I was Mercenary Gas and Stevehern7382.
I hope the guy behind i-Ready passes the $#*! away and turns into ashes only to get poured into a river above a damn bridge

Iready on a baseline principle is good. But in actuality is extremely bad. I will mostly be talking about the my path but before that i want to talk about the learning games. The learning games are the only thing witch kept this review from a one star but just barely. The learning games are fun ( pizza and no other ones) if you are 5th grade or below. But for 6th grade onwords get repedditive realy quickly.( i am in 6th grade if you were wondering). Now to talk about the my path. The iready my path is a pice of hot garbage. It has little to no actual educatinal value and moreover is just REALY BOREING. I would rather watch a documentry on trees then this f*** pice of s***. The lessons are long and drag on forever. Also when you are agsined 2 hours of iready a week it gets dergading. The iready lessons are either realy boreing ore painfuly easy. So tldr iready sucks

I-Ready doesn't teach you anything and makes students want to destroy their computer because of the amount of frustration you get from it. My teachers made me do this crappy piece of garbage for 4 years. Every time you fail a lesson, you have to do the whole lesson again! Like why can't I just do the quiz again instead of having to do the introduction, the practice, AND the quiz again. But no, They don't care! All they just want to do is to make money out of students and give them stress. Some lessons are hard but really short. However, On the other hand, The lessons that are easy take hours to complete. Oh and Don't get me started with those characters. The characters in I-Ready just talk too much! It's a complete waste of time when you have to listen to them make a joke that isn't funny at all. Sometimes they say stupid things like "Bake Stars" or something like that. Like what am I, 4 years old? I have to wait 30 seconds for them to say what they have to say and oh boy, do I hate waiting. They're annoying, and all around just a waste of your time. One time I even saw a review of this app saying that someone's son fainted while doing a I-Ready Reading lesson. I feel bad from all the students being tortured by I-Ready. I mean, The government could literally use this app to torture someone. I also saw another Review saying that He got a virus on his computer for getting I-Ready. The review said that the computer forced him to do I-Ready. He also was asked by his computer if he wanted to do I-Ready. He had 2 choices. The choices both said yes. So I don't think you should get this app at all. I am currently making this review in 2022. So if any teachers from the future see this review, I'm warning you guys, Don't make your students do I-Ready. You'll Regret.

September 17, 2022

I have done I-ready since 4th grade and I'm perfectly fine in 6th. I think the problem is teachers aren't giving enough time to some students and kids these days are just irresponsible. To all of you 1 star raters, ask about an IEP plan.

Worst website to exist.

IReady is just as bad as Fortnite, it's basically throwing a child in a cauldron and telling them to stay there and only eat rotten bananas for 6 years. IReady is torture to everyone. I've tried so many things to get it banned but the school blocks everything but luckily I switched schools so I don't have to do it anymore :) iReady makes kids suffer I hope you get sued for *******$.
