DISCLAIMER-This review of IXL is not meant to hurt or offend anyone's feelings. It's just my honest opinion.
First of all, I like the premise of IXL, but the fact that they only let users that don't pay do 10 questions MAX is just horrible. If they are doing this, they should take down the whole website. Plus, the price you pay for unlimited lessons/questions is a little too steep. Another thing I dislike is the atmosphere of the website. It could be a little easier to navigate and look a little more enticing to kids. IXL just needs to improve some stuff and maybe make some of the problems a little easier as well.
Hope the Devs of IXL see this and take some action upon it. :))
There isn't just smartscore. Oh no people. There are skills that FORCE you to get 4/5 correct IN THREE ROUNDS IN A ROW and worse, skills that FORCE you to get 5 correct in a row THREE ROUNDS IN A ROW and in that in a row there are parts where they send you back to the previous round if you get it wrong and it can't get worse right? WRONG i follow the directions, and BOOM it tells me i'm wrong so in summary IT'S BAD
I understand peoples pain! Boy! It huts so much when the smart score goes down. But it teaches you a lot. Many people are so over dramatic. I use it quite often!*
Thanks to ixl i did get a very good score in my test. But if i use it for to long it can get depressing...I struggle with maths and my class never lets me learn english (trouble maker) But still it teaches me a lot...Hopefully this show that it is not bad but not amazing<3
*not in an npc by the way
Ixl has a timer and every time i use ixl the timer preesures me! I also hate that you have to be a member to get unlimuted time to practice,its a rip off to buy the membership! I hate ixl!
IXL is a website sent from the devil himself. It sucks so hard and bad. It was made by a duranged lunatic and it can suck ma balls. This is mike hawk signing off. Kill IXL.
The smartscre doesnt deserve its name
The "challenge" zone is not a challenge
it takes 7-9 points and gives only 2-3
IT is also very boring
It doesnt teach and the explanations dont help
The skills are endless and there is not good prizes
Idk if its the same for you, but it keeps saying: sorry, incorrect. And i hate it (made me punch my Mac 12 times.)
Every site is just like ixl so what is so bad about this app its just an app that hasnt really done nothing to you all of yall are haters
Teachers will think ixl is so good to teach students but it is the opposite. Getting a question right might give you some points but getting 1 question wrong and your down 15 points. Once i used ixl and beacuse of the points system i answered over 100 questions and still was at a 57 smartscore.
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 would go on IXL for homework and IT WOULD SUCK! LIke, I would go on IXL to study and I would get Instant Depression. Also IXL IS RIGGED! THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF AN ¨EDUCATIONAL APP¨ IS TRASH. SPARE YOUR HAPPINESS AND DON'T GET THIS APP
IXL is horrible for your child, It is stressful, it doesn't benefit your child and it needs to be shut down ASAP.
Ixl needs more improvements the worst thing to do when you do ixl is when your smart score goes down. Sometimes my teacher asks why I take so long to do this ixl and I say it's because of the smart score
But they don't believe me. But overall it's a nice app to use am happy that we don't have to get homework anymore and thank you for reading this.
I hate when you get a single question wrong and it takes you back by seven points as a nine year old it can get pretty frustrating
Bad and sucks i dont learn nothing. It just rivels up my anger and does not help me learn. It just makes me more angry. This is the worst learning experience i have ever had.
$#*! ixl, I don't know how many times I've punched my computer because I lost an absurd amount of points. At least Khan Academy allows you to review your answer if you got it incorrect. Ixl has the most bull$#*! point system. Considering teachers base your completion of the skill on points, you can guess how that goes. I've been doing IXLs since I've been in the 1st grade, even as a young man I knew that the creators of IXL needs to burn in hell.
Stop assigning IXLs, please.
It is horrible because it gives kids anxiety and kids hate this they have trouble getting each thing wrong
I HATE IXL PEOPLE THINK IT IS AMAZING WHOEVER MADE IXL $#*! YOU I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL STUPID UGLY MOTHER TWERKING $#*! UGLY $#*! FACE I HATE YOU UGLY HOE UGLY $#*! STUPID GOOFY $#*! UGLY GO TO HELL YOU MADE MY LIFE PRISON STUPID $#*! UGLY MOTHER$#*!ER UGLY $#*! FACE $#*! child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er child-$#*!er (to the CEO of IXL)
I'm usally a nice family friendly guy that's in middle school but the smart score is $#!# if you get one right at the beiginning it gives you 10 smartscore but if you get 1 wrong it decreases you by an estimated 25 dang point, the only subject that this website is good for is social studies other than that it's only good for stress, making kids break cromebooks and wasting kids time fix this website along with it's smartscore and lack of teaching kids how to learn
Answer: SCAM! IXL is the worst learning site I have ever seen!
Answer: Dunno. Just please, dont use it and if your forced to do it as an assinment beg your teacher to quit cause IXL is annoying s he11.
Answer: To be a scam to get 20 dollars a month for every person who falls in. Also to be the worlds best torture device for kids under 18
Answer: Sadly No... Unless you use Inspect element to fake scores everytime you open it.
Answer: I dunno, just beg your parents/teachers to stop usuing the $#%&ing
Answer: YES. I HAVE LOST MY VOICE MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO BEG MY MOM TO GET ME OFF OF THIS 1.1 STAR WEBSITE/APP
Answer: Probably nobody. Unless a bigwig government official who REMEMBERS WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE A KID actually looks at IXL for a literal freaking nanosecond goes, "This is actually horrible!" Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are so low that it probably won't happen in my lifetime.
Answer: * That's an asterisk. You have probably seen what it does.
Answer: It is really good it gives lessons and videos how to do it and if you buy yearly subscription it is 10% of and it improved my sons grades, but it has some errors.
