BAN IXL BAN IXL BAN IXL.
Ixl is the most riged stress racking rage incurgeing learn app out there, it shoulden't even be an app, and its all the same. Example, you go to forth grade reading and do the theme and you go to eghth grade and do the them catigory they have the same Q and A. Nobodyy likes ixl but like 1 person in my class, it sucks over all and the presedent should ban ixl.

Judging by the reviews, this site deserves a DOS to the server for a few weeks to straighten them out.

I'm a child, BUT I STILL GET PAIN FROM THIS, I used to love ixl, do it everyday without problem years ago, BUT ON ONE DAMN DAY I ALMOST MISSED DINNER JUST BECAUSE I WAS CRYING FROM MISSING ONEEE QUESTION, I had spent HOURS getting to that point and what did I get? PROGRESS RESET TO 80, THE CHALLENGE ZONE IS INSANE AS WELL, IT GOES UP ONE BY ONE, SUCH ASSSSSSSS (not the curse word), you spend 2 hours getting from 90 to 95 in challenge zone, you mess up, NOW YOUR AT 86- my parent don't see the pain I get from this, I literally told my mom about how your progress goes down so badly from just one wrong question, AND SHE SAID ITS JUST HOW TO LEARN AND SOMEEEEE PROGRAMS DO THAT, WELL YES I KNOW ITS HELPS ME LEARN, BUT ITS NOT WORTH ALL THE TEARS YOU GET FROM IT! I haven't done ixl for years BUT I HAVE TO DO 2 EVERYDAY NOW, I KNOW ITS NOT MUCH, BUT I ALREADY SPENT HOUR ON JUST ONE, AND I MISSED YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE, SO I'M FORST TO DO 6 TODAY, AND WHAT HITS HARD IS WHEN YOU KNOW THE ANSWER BUT YOU MISS TYPE IT SO YOUR HARD WORK, GONE-

Moral: you will get rage

God made a HUGE mistake on creating Paul Mishkin.

First of all, their little "fun" way of learning is just adding a timer, a SmartScore, and how many total questions you've earned. They want to make it sound like a "race" to get to first place (just like the average YouTube comment section kid) when they're going to shove the same damn question in your $#*! over 186 times. Their explanation system either yapps about nonsense jack$#*! or just says "LoOk At ThE iMaGe" over. And over. And over again.

The way IXL is designed is basically IXL saying "Hey! Parents! Come fly over to my website and suck my blood for the low cost of $100 USD!" and absolutely crashes your great and adorable child's mind. I remember using this a LOT during summer break (because back then my mom watched Lankybox /srs) and I couldn't tell you HOW hard I laughed when I read those IXL reviews back then.

Because THOSE reviews were true!

Their "award" system is so jackass along with it. I spent mere days and hours to- what did I get? A whole.PNG of a video game controller. Like if you're going to spend mere days coming up with a different way to impress the people who built torture devices back then at least award them with SOMETHING like a $15 VISA gift card or a $25 Roblox Gift Card bro...

They also give no mercy $#*!less to the person using IXL. If an assignment is about decimals and you accidentally add on a.0 to it, you go down to square one. I once heard that a kid threw his iPad on the wall because he got one wrong at the challenge zone, and how many points did he drop down?

THIRTY!

So don't expect your child to come out of school like an emo after doing thirteen seconds of IXL, because that right there's going to make you wish you never gave IXL.

Paul Mishkin, if you're reading this...

I hope a million ants crawl into your d!ck and your butt tonight.

"I EXCELL (IXL)." MORE LIKE I x HELL.

Previous review

I've used this website several times, at the age of 5 and PRESENT DAY, as an 11-year-old (and still use it every Summer Break because my mom clearly has mental issues) to give out a very... "positive" review.

It's bullshit.

It causes an immense amount of stress and the explanations are VERY, VERY bad. Sure, in their maybe 3-year ago update they added videos, but that doesn't help AT ALL. Their score counter doesn't add anything more interesting to it, it's only going to add pressure as the time ticks away. Score of 76. FIFTY-SIX MINUTES spent. ONE lesson! Oh, maybe you're going to say "WeLl ThAt'S jUsT a LoW iQ pErSoN" shut up.

This is just a website to add more pressure into your child's cute (and preferably smart) brain to make them destined to the wrong career. As far as I know, there are over 100 lessons per grade. (If I'm causing misinformation, I'm sorry.) And... they ALL aren't interesting.

Oh, did I forget to mention how shameful their "fun learning experience is"?

Imagine it this way:
Your SmartScore is 99.
4 hours and 19 minutes passed.
You get the question wrong.

And HOW many points do you drop down? NEARLY THIRTY WHOLE POINTS! THIRTY! Say that out loud. I've put it in syllable form to make it easier. "THIR-TY". THIRTY! Do you know how OUTRAGEOUS that is?!

I've learnt BETTER from other websites by spending nearly 20 minutes than spending EIGHTEEN DAYS learning from IXHELL. And that saved me HOW MANY HOURS?

Do the math.

24 x 18 = 432 hours.

I save 25,900 minutes (431.67 hours) SPENDING TWENTY MINUTES on one subject.

IXL, if you're seeing this review...
I hope you and everyone in your country burn in hellfire tonight.

(Edit: I've seen recent comments about how "IXL is just a normal website like other websites". If it's such a "normal website", you try out that bullsh*t yourself. See how your experience goes. Work on it nonstop and then you'll experience the pain.)
