IXL

Ixl is complete nonsense. The smart score point system is completely rigged. Oh good yay, I get 3 points for a correct answer. Oh no I got one wrong! Guess 15 points should be taken away? It's way too unbalanced and the fact that it's so easy to assign this as homework in great bunches is honey bunches of horror. Unless you want a torture device, I would recommend not buying this

This app is downright horrible. Please do not waste your money on this, it turns your day upside down, and leads to intimate depression. Instead of making me like a specific subject, it makes me hate the subject, even more, there are other websites out there that deserve to be used, unlike this one.The examples don't even make any sense. Yeah, it helps me with what they show me, but when it's a problem, that the example doesn't show, how am I supposed to know the answer! It is very frustrating and is a app from hell.

I would rather eat a ghost pepper every day for a week straight.

In all seriousness though, all IXL does is make it stressful to do anything. All of the reviews here are right. Its horrible to make students feel bad about themselves for getting ONE question wrong and loosing ten whole "smart points". Its horrible to even be giving students "smart points" because a student with low points could consider themselves dumb which in itself is horrible for mental health. It doesn't teach you anything useful, and if you are looking for alternatives Prodigy is much better.

My teacher is making me and my fellow classmates do 2 hours and 30 minutes of IXL each week for the rest of the entire year. It counts for over 40% of our overall grade. Every time I finish my IXL homework I am always in a worse mood than I was before. Its "smart score" is rigged and broken. No dark mode, either. Please just don't use this website, and especially avoid how my teacher uses it.

This app put me in the psychiatric hospital because i stayed up to late doing it and got a bit silly and quirky... long story short i ended up with federal felony and many other criminal charges across just a few different states! Now i am writing this review from the mental hospital after pleading insanity to all of my charges... hopefully my ward doesn't look through this search history...

IXL is bad because kids have to learn so much if you get combo pack you might have to do 4 everyday or 1 or 6 and if you get the core pack 2,4,6,8.

Its a target in school to help build up missing assighnments. You have to answer an unnecessary amount of questions. If you get one wrong its brings you down a lot and farther than the score most teachers allow (80 or 90). Ixl produces a huge amount of stress for students. My freinds therapist even said there should be a better option instead of ixl.(a liscensed therapist) Ixl should give up on there website and just delete it. Most of the people that work there are to old to be helping in some way to stress out kids.

IXL sacrificed me to the devil and then left my dead, naked body in a diddy party. I was forced to watch Diddy and Drake molest my dead body in the diddy freak offs for hours and hours. After this, I was resurrected with severe pain in my butt and it hurt a lot because of drakes big long meat. After I got resurrected, my mom made me go to school because she says I cant miss a day. When I got to school, I found out that I'd missed out on 17 hours worth of IXL that my teacher said was due by 3:00 PM yesterday. When she asked me if I'd done it, I said no and then my whole class laughed at me and dumped the class trash can on me. After that, I smelled so bad that people stopped talking to me for a week straight. When I tried to talk to my friend after that, he acted like he didn't know me and called the rest of the school to beat the $#*! out of me. After they broke all of the bones and ligaments in my body, they took potato peelers and skinned me alive, then poured a tub of salt on me. After all of this abuse, I ended up crying a singular tear which made them notice that I had felt pain. They got so mad at this that they burned my corpse alive and then called Diddy back onto me, who brought his whole gang of Freaksters and bodyguards to kill and molest me at the same time. The bodyguards shot me into swiss cheese with shotguns and AR-15s while his freaksters touched me. They then threw me into wet concrete, and my body would then become trapped in a sidewalk. They then $#*! all over the part of the sidewalk that my body was trapped in, and then proceeded to bring all of my family members and send them into outer space one by one, while my consciousness still remained, trapped in the street, forcing me to listen to this happen. When I finally died inside of that sidewalk, I went to hell, because IXL sold my soul, and I was forced to do thousands of IXL problems for the rest of eternity while never getting the satisfaction of completing a lesson.

Some of you might know this, but I just figured out a trick to destroy IXL. Below your smart score, you will find a little pencil that looks like an edit sign. Click on it and it will give you options of a pencil, highlighter, and eraser. Click ur choice and scribble as much as you want. Click the tool again if you want to change the color of your tool. I spent way too long scribbling on my problems rather than doing them, so do this at your own risk. ;)

I really hope IXL reads this, but it really needs more explaining. I'm working on one step addition and subtraction with decimals and it does not explain anything. It literally says, "simply the left", and it leaves me confused asl, I was struggling. Please fix this. I don't have a photo to prove it, but js this review should at least reach them.

Most teachers think that Ixl is a good thing for kids but studies have shown that it can increase anxiety can hurt your Mental Health. Most children who have gone though this know "IXL only make a student or user want to get through the lesson as fast as possible without helping them learn it, the answering system will make you upset and if you get one question wrong once you hit around 60, it makes you go down at least 15 points." This is about my self the Ixl i'm on made me cry and it was very hard

Im gonna cut straight to the chase, IXL is a very frustrating thing for a student like me to experience. The point system is very frustrating, for example, when you start the IXL, you increase by 10,7 points per each question you get right. And if you get one wrong, you decrease by about 3. But by the end, you increase by 3 or 2 points, and decrease by 7-9 points. This makes it so that students like me are stuck with 50 points. Learning platforms should make it easier when you try to achieve a goal. IXL tries to stop you.

It just doesn't explain well enough. When I get something wrong, I want a good concise explanation on how to do it, not a bunch of yapping going nowhere or 10 words basically saying "look at the picture". Just use Khan Academy, it's so much better

Very bad site when I get the question wrong it gives away points... Not fair I got mad about ixl's Smart score. Must be removed. But Good news in 2020 the founder of ixl made a new learning program awesome!

Instead of taking away points from your smart score let try the question again. I take hours to do one lesson because ixl words their questions weirdly. I don't recommend it. Its better then I ready but still

I don't hate IXL. I rate it a 4 stars for quality, 1 star for service, value and returns. It's just, well, boring. The point system isn't all that bad unless you're doing an IXL on long division.
Pro Tip: If you've practiced for two hours and still can't get 100, your teacher will see the 2 hours of practice and likely give you credit.

My kids (10 and 13) are forced to use this program for their school. All I can say about it, is that this is the perfect way to cause your kids stress and anger when doing their homework. They get awarded less points for correct answers than are deducted for incorrect answers. There have been many times when my children were nearly at 100 percent but because of just a few mistakes they ended up with a very low score. Assignments can end up taking far too long due to this rigged system. This whole learning program is set up to cause kids to feel anxious about getting a wrong answer because of the ridiculous amount of points deducted. If you want to listen to your kids scream and cry in frustration, I recommend IXL. Otherwise stay far away!

I don't like IXL.com! It is the most stressful, toxic and stupid thing ever! My father makes do it everyday, I don't wanna do it anymore, I literally cut through my exercise to write the truth about this sit/app.
I sometimes cry because the exercises are impossible, some are easy but others are absurdly unattainable to the hundredth %! I started IXL when I was 5, and I am now 12 and tired of doing it!
