Amazing site!
March 5, 2023

This is so awesome, and the games are so fun! On the math games, you can use gaming skills and practice fun math at the same time! The diagnostic is also amazing! I, as a student, love and greatly appreciate them. Would recommend for all teachers. However, the one thing I would want to change is have a brain break for high schoolers!

I-ready is an app that is supposed to teach you stuff right? NOPE WRONG DEAD WRONG teachers expect you to be able to get minutes and I sat for 20 minutes, and it said I only got 8 minutes also, the lessons are stupid hard 3 out of 4 questions say basically the same thing and you pick one it will say it's wrong and most of the times the right answer is really dumb. IF YOU'RE A TAECHER AND SEE THIS APP ON THE STORE SKIP RIGHT OVER IT AND FIND SOMTHING ELSE YOUR STUDENTS WILL THANK YOU. THIS APP IS ABSALUTE TORTURE!

This app sucks
February 23, 2023

I hate I-ready with a passion and here's why. The pacing is slow, and lessons take a long time to do. The number 2 reason why i ready sucks is because of the lessons being too boring to do with little to no due date time because of how long they take. I-ready is the reason i have over 50 missing assignments and is the reason i got a detension and i hate this app and hope that they get sued and have to shut down the app. Thank you for listening

Yes, you heard me right. It sucks, but it's somehow better than whatever the $#*! ALEKS is. But this is a review about I-Ready, so Imma start flaming the $#*! out of I-Ready.
Ok, so, where do I begin? I had to learn from I-Ready until 6th grade and it was hell, the lessons were dog $#*! and just PAINFUL to sit through, and the diagnostics were not even better, the only good thing about I-ready were the minigames and breaks inbetween parts of th diagnostic. Also the intro for the diagnostics are long as hell and can hinder your performance time wise. Also, when you spend time thinking, the clock pauses and you don't get to the goal of 45 minutes. Also If you're reading this there's no 100 character limit so go absolutely Crazy.

Too much talking
February 8, 2023

I thought school was boring, but this is even worse. Some of the lessons that I could complete in five minutes in class take thirty minutes to do in I ready. It is a good idea but it just doesn't work out well. I hope I-ready shuts down.

Thank you.

BAN iReady!
February 8, 2023

I ready is a terrible ¨learning¨ website for kids. It does not help them with anything and the characters talk way too much. IReady should be banned it makes students have horrible mental health and makes them grouchy. Ban iReady its not worth it!

Iready is so boring...
February 7, 2023

My teacher makes us do Iready every single day, and Iready doesn't help me learn any math at all, in fact, all it does is makes me me hate math. The servers keep on crashing, and glitching, this site sucks in every way possible.

Slow and ineffective
January 18, 2023

My child entered school ahead of his grade peers. While he tested grades ahead, this program lags and forces him to do the same repetitive math problems without advancing even though he consistently gets 100%. He also has to endure unfunny characters that attempt to make jokes between problem solving and read the equation before you're allowed to solve it. You can't mute them and it is just painful to sit there when he knows 2+2=4. Let the kid just solve the problem already! I clearly hate iReady and knowing that I can't afford to pull him out of the public school that pays for this disastrous program breaks my heart on the daily. It's also common core based, which is problematic in itself.

I-ready Sucks!
January 9, 2023

I-ready is NOT teaching me anything, it's something forced on kids to "help" kids with math, reading, and writing even though it does nothing to help children. You are supposed to do lessons to get coins to play games but you can play math games any time you want to play and with no time limit, not like it helps because sometimes you are in an infinite loading screen so you need to go out and go back just to play the games that are even that much fun. 1 Star, don't pay for this 4:3 garbage. - Lawrence
