Worst app ever
August 18, 2022

The one thing I hate about IXL is when you put in a wrong answer it will move you back like 10 "points" and then when you get it right it will move you up two. For all the people out there I definitely say NO IXL

Why
October 5, 2022

This is worst then i-ready because it doesn't teach you! You will be board I promise you. If you're a a teacher i don't suggest to use this. There are much better sources and materials to use.

IXL is probably the WORST form of punishment to a child. It's down right abuse! IXL belongs in a dungeon as a way to interrogate people. Please save your money and DONT buy IXL. I have been forced at school to use this and it's horrible.and this is why it's so bad. 1.it's so frustrating! Every time you get an answer right your score goes up buy like 3 points (you have to get up to 100) and every time you get one wrong it goes down by 7-10 points. Also as you get further into that skill points go up by less and down by more. It's hard and stressful. 2.the skills just aren't grade appropriate. I'm in 6th grade and there is still counting money value which is also a second grade skill;-;. 3. It's expensive for just a month you will have to pay upwards of 20 bucks! Guys come on if you want trash it's outside for free! Don't waste your valuable money on this crap. Now there are good aspects of IXL to. 1.its good for making people spill their secrets one look at the IXL screen will have them spilling the beans real fast. Anyway I know I'm just some sixth grader and your pro lanky not gonna wanna except the truth that IXL is that bad but cmon go to any review site and you'll see the bad reviews overflowing.

Decent website
July 7, 2018

The kids didn't seem engaged with the website we've tried a bunch of other ones. Our favorite so far would be Beestar - interactive and keeps the kids interested.

Since my english grades are dropping, my mom payed for ixl and made me do it for hours a day. The worst part is that its my summer break and i dont get to do the fun summer stuff that everyone does but im stuck inside doing stupid ixl. The smartscore thing sucks because you get one question correct, you get like 2 points but then you got one wrong and all of a sudden you lose 10 points. Like ffs just make the system balanced. Ixl makes me want to punch and destroy my computer because of how frustrating it is. I DO NOT RECCOMEND AS IT MAKES YOU HATE LEARNING SO MUCH. This is coming from a 12 year old who skipped a grade.

It tortures you.
Ruins your mental health.
Literally is so frustrating.
When you get to 90% of the challenge zone you go up by one for each one you get right.

February 5, 2022

My teacher uses IXL, in general I hate him, but this teacher just UGH then, omg THEN HE THROWS IXL AT US! NEXT HE MAKES US TAKE A GODDAMN TEST REVIEWING WHAT WE "LEARNED" WITH THIS SITE. Can someone help me please! I had an A in math now I have a goddamn C and my mom expects freaking As he used IXL I feel like he used it to make us feel like we're really bad at math, I'm a 7th grader in a abnormal school, what the hell is hon a get worse? I'm on my phone right now so I don't have any screenshots but the teaches say "Get 80% then you can be done," as if they think there is a certain amount of questions asked, then we're done. I swear IXL is worse than Kahoot-

DO NOT DO THIS
July 28, 2021

Ixl is RIGGED and it is a SCAM DO NOT GET! Trust me it is not worth it! I am student and I went on the website so I did not buy this $80 thing. This is just my honest opinion and I also do not believe this makes kids smarter, It just causes stress to kids!
