IXL sucks balls!
August 22, 2023

You have to do all this work and then the unfair point system takes it all away! For some reason, teachers love it, but I haven't learned a single thing from it but to expect disappointment.

So frustrating.
August 15, 2023

IXL has never helped me, It always gets me in the worst mood. If you get a question wrong you go back heaps. Making it impossible. It has never done anything for me out of the frustration I have distracting me I can't learn.

This is nothing but tourture, the explanations are so bad I think a mentally $#*!ed, blindfolded, monkey wrote them. Id rather eat bricks than go through this. I swear this will make you studants/children want to go home and blow there face off. The question are faker than michal Jackson's skin color. I would like to think that the CEO of IXL is a convicted sex offender and Is out of jail on bond. Then the score system. Say your at a 99 and then get 1 question wrong, you drop down to a 14 and then need to get 636 questions right in a row to get back to a 99 score WOULD 1000% NOT RECOMMEND!

It has a a lot of issues like a part that you will get wrong if you do not put a capital letter even though the word that you answer is correct or not and it is really painful to see that $#*! of the smart score go down. A lot of teacher thinks that ixl is perfect but for me is a total bull$#*! and is more a torture than a learning tool

I wouldn't even want to rate this but the lowest I can go is a one. They make it very so you are very nervous because they do a points system. For example let's say you have 93 points and are about to finish and, you mess up a question you go down to a 76. The worst part about it that is you go up by four max at the end of it. It made my friends very agitated and not in a great mood like they usually are. The help part of it is a joke the videos show a different part of the topic then you are on. The learn with example is also on a different topic. Please parents and teachers don't put your kids through this and save your money. It will only make your kids dislike learning.

The exercises in IXL do not help my child learn anything new. They even give the wrong answers to the questions we searched up together. I do not recommend this site at all.

On the question it said write 2 7/12 in words and the plural of twelve can be twelves or twelfths, not just twelfths so over all i give it 3.5. Because you can go in contests to win a 32GB Ipad sometimes and sometimes a 330$ Visa card and i payed half the money to get Ixl for a whole year so i get my money back.

Thanks,

IXL is the worst
June 13, 2023

IXL is honestly great... IF YOU WANT TO FIND A WAY TO TORTURE YOUR KIDS!

1) Videos don't go into depth about what you're learning
2) You lose too many points when you make a mistake
3) The explanation of why I got a question wrong is not clear to me
4) Lack of fun or interaction while doing the skills. (It feels more like you're doing problem after problem to just finish instead of trying to learn.)

Don't use IXL because of these reasons!

Point System
June 12, 2023

Alot of people dislike Ixl and I could see why. For me it's the point system that needs to be changed. A great example why is when I had to do a geometry lesson in 2nd grade. I still have no why I had to do this lesson since we never learned geometry but anyways, THIS LESSON WAS SO HARD I kept on getting the answers wrong so my mom had to do it for me and she couldn't figure it out EITHER. So my mom spent 100 min trying to finish it. And that was 100 mins of my life wasted. PLEASE IXL MAKE IT TAKE YOUR POINT SSTEM DOESN'T LOWER DOWN YOUR SCORE. PLEASE
