Zearn.org Reviews Summary

The overall reputation of the company is significantly challenged by customer feedback, with a predominant sentiment of frustration and dissatisfaction. Users consistently express that the platform is overly complicated and repetitive, leading to feelings of stress and confusion. Many reviews highlight issues with the instructional design, particularly in the "Tower of Power," where students feel unsupported and overwhelmed. While some users acknowledge minor positives, such as the warm-up exercises, the overwhelming majority of feedback indicates that the service is not meeting the needs of its users, particularly students. This disconnect between teacher endorsements and student experiences suggests a critical need for reevaluation of the platform's usability and instructional effectiveness.

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.

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.

Zearn Sucks!
May 2, 2024

Zearn is absoulutly rigged. It is like speaking in a different language but when you mess up a word, your interpretator makes you start over. Don't even get me started on the tower of power. It is so rigged. You have to get every single question right or else a cheese comes over to help and your progress resets. There is only a couple types of people who like Zearn, nerds, teachers, teachers pets, and geeky no-lifers. Also, the wild cards are absolutely garbage, like that time they tried to fit in with the new TikTok theme of the "That dance you do when you finally finish that tough Zearn lesson" That is my summary on this rigged website, hope you liked it.

I hate zearn because it lowers my self-esteem. I keep on seeing that stupid cube when I get even one try wrong, and I used math, but that stupid system is always like "OH, YOU'RE WRONG, LET'S GO THROUGH THIS PROBLEM TOGETHER, YOU STUPID DUMB-DUMB!" like, I calculated it! I did the math! But, when I enter on the tower of power, it says "Nuh uh, you're really stupid, kids are always like that. Here, let's do it together, just to get either what you answered, or the wrong answers because when we think we're helping you, we're just making you extra depressed and misinformed! You'll never graduate anything with OUR 'education and help' and now you're crying and screaming while the creator is swimming in her money made from tears like yours!" (Yes, I actually cried because I couldn't complete a dumb tower of power. I can't wait until my teacher moves me to the next mission because I couldn't complete the one I'm on.) I want the creator dead. She's a real, big old dumby. All she's doing is making me sad, not smart.

DO NOT USE!
April 12, 2024

Zearn is a popular website where kids supposedly learn how to do certain types of math in their grade level. Yet, this website fails to do the thing it is supposed to do, despite receiving millions in funding. You may be thinking right now that this review was written by another Elementary kid complaining about doing this every day, but I have tried my best to write an honest review and not just devolve into saying 'F*** Zearn'. Firstly, Zearn has multiple modules in one grade usually comprised of 20 or so lessons. In these lessons, students are forced to do simple addition/subtraction/counting, despite grade level. Afterwards, there is a video called a "Math Chat" that shows the student how to do the thing they are learning. Unfortunately, the video is mostly a waste of time, as students can skip to the easy questions. The video itself is largely useless and does not clearly show how to do the questions. Next, students are helped out by a block that resets the entire questions or set of questions to help. While the block is somewhat helpful, the amount of questions it makes you do to return to the regular set is incredibly unnecessary. After the "Math Chat", you go to the "Tower of Power" at the end of the lesson. This Tower is simply just another set of questions, but the previously mentioned "block" makes you do the entire 8 or so questions again if you get any of them wrong more than once. After the "Tower of Power" is completed, the cycle repeats. In conclusion, Zearn makes the already hated math experience even worse. DO NOT USE!
