Zearn is as useless as the dirt on a highway. It's reviews that they say are green ratings are most likely faked and just by teachers. The "games" they make you play to "learn" are grey and boring. Seriously who likes this site? I'm pretty sure everyone can agree with me when I say Zearn is a evil company that masks the bad reviews. You learn nothing from the questions and videos. They treat you like a three year old because every time you get one thing wrong you are immediately sent to a help question. Over all Zearn is horrible. Please for your own good don't use it.

I hate Zearn.
December 5, 2023

I'm 11 years old, so I'm just going to be as mature as I can with this. Zearn is very aggravating, because it resets me everytime I get a question wrong. Also, I would like to add that it is behind in our in-person classwork. We're learning percentages and stuff and decimal multiplication while it's still on ratios. Not very good. It doesn't help me learn either, I prefer Khan Academy if I'm being honest.

TL;DR: Teachers, please stop using Zearn. It does not help students.

Please do not use it.

Zearn is an overused math curriculum program that is, in fact, unhealthy for a child's neural pathways. The answers that they require do not assist my child in mathematics. Zearn is actually anything but helpful, and simple equations such as thirteen multiplied by two into an excessively elongated math problem. Those are my thoughts on Zearn. You should refrain from using this program, but only you can control your actions.
P.S. Shalinee Sharma made a mistake founding Zearn. This concludes my review.

This app is awful
April 20, 2023

My son hates this "educational" app, every day he uses this he ends up punching his computer and crying. On the Tower of Power, you have to get every single question right, or else it starts you over and "gives you a boost," but that so-called boost is just the app giving you a completely different problem and doesn't teach you anything. If there are any teachers reading this, learn from other's mistakes and never make your students use this app!

I hate this app so much.
October 20, 2023

Ok so, first off, that godd*mn cube from the tower of power is so annoying, and before that, comes questions that's just stuff you already know. Half the time, it doesn't help what you actually do in class. I've been using this for 3, maybe 4 years and have never in that time been helped by Zearn. Maybe we'll be working with division or something and Zearn is having us multiplying fractions in a way that we never even use in class.
This sh*t needs to fix itself.

It sucks
May 15, 2024

I am hating math more and more because of a website called Zearn. Zearn uses a strategy other companies have banned called the "One Shot and Restart" method to try and teach kids. But after kids lose that one shot, they have to restart on a harder question without enough explanation, which for me, can be so infuriating, they make conclusions about the overall subject and cause them to dislike learning about any sort of math. In conclusion, Zearn should NOT be a required activity in schools.

Zero Stars!
February 10, 2023

I really hate Zearn. Our teacher makes us do it! The questions are very dumb. They teach you things like 3-digit addition games in the middle of the fractions unit! The videos are stupid so all the kids in my class skip them. I also hate the box character that always makes you redo the lesson. My friend just got 3 redos and he is frustrated. So, don't make a Zearn account or else!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
April 10, 2025

Bro i spend so long on zearn when i just did it in class. The first part isn't even f*cking related to what we are doing. It makes me want to die. It is the most annoying app i have ever used. If u get 1 question wrong on the tower of power the freaking cheese cube makes you do the same problem without even helping.

This program is the worst possible thing a student could use to learn a subject. This program will reset you in something called "The Tower of Power" if you get a question wrong, even if it is a mild typo. This program stresses kids out when teachers assign this, and the video is so insanely long and unhelpful it's just better to skip to the questions, since you don't reset on the video.

ZEARN SUCKS! The person who made zearn is very mean and she is also mean. I want to bite her. OK, biting is mean but still!
She must have had the intention of torturing innocent people. Zearn does not teach you anything at all. It has cheesy animations, and overall, ULTIMATE STUPIDIDTY. DEATH TO ZEARN

Zearn bad
January 17, 2024

Zearn is complete and utter garbage, the work does not even compare to the same difficulty of work as my grade level has. It is too easy yet I, and many others seem to get our answers wrong. Zearn should be taken down.

Many others like myself, dislike Zearn. Whether it's rebellion against out of touch corporate websites, the inability to get a question right or the complex breakdowns of incredibly simple concepts. Lessons are known to drag on for long periods of time despite the topic in question being quite simple. The average lesson lasts between 6-10 minutes. Along with tower of power Zearn lessons usually take around 20 minutes. However, that is not the problem. The problem is the grueling task of making children wait to count by TENS around the age they start learning simple algrebra.

Hey, Fifth Grade student here. I really think Zearn is not a healthy thing to give kids. And often it overcomplicates things and stretches out simple problems like 4 + 18. And that's not even the start of it. I have ADHD and Anxiety and It has been proven that it affects those kinds of people. This app causes me panic attacks, depressive episodes, and suicidal thoughts. I really don't know what else to put here but have you even SEEN the other reviews? They're all the same! "Zearn is bad" "Zearn is tiring" "Stupid yellow cube" "tower of power is bad" It's clear this is horrible.

Not good at all
May 6, 2024

Hi I am 13 year old student in 7th grade, my teachers make me and my classmates do zearn, and it is not ideal for learning math at all. It teaches the same concept over and over, and when you actually are learning something the question will be worded in the most absurd way possible, making it impossible to solve. If I were you I would just get Khan Academy. It offers way more lessons then Zearn, like coding, pre-algebra, and plotting graphs with algebra, and plus you can pick what you want lessons you want to do all by your self. Unlike Zearn were you only have a limited amount of lessons, and you cant pick. This is my humble opinion and I hope you take the advice that I have givin.

It sucks because in Tower of Power, if you get one question wrong it makes you finish the question, then you have to do another problem. I advise all teachers to not use this app. And just so you know, I have complete experience in using Zearn so I know this stuff firsthand.

Zearn has made me suicidal. Do not under any circumstances use this website. I would literally defenestrate myself without opening the window first than use this. Im who know how many lessons behind because the cheese man keeps attacking me. Zearn, go do everyone and everything a favor by deleting yourself. Zearn go $#*! yourself it would be better for both of us
