Ixl sucks dont waste your money on this i trigerrs kids dont even think about it i am being honest if you get right 1 point wrong -10 points
Ixl sucks because i will be at 69 and get one wrong and go down to 51 and i have to waist my not so long time and be so frushtrared at the same time get rid of it!
IXL is overall not very helpful to me. It is very uninteresting and its point system is very outdated. The point system will start at 0, and when I get a problem right, it gives me about, 6-8 points, but if you get a problem wrong, it will take away 10-12 points and it is very frustrating when you need to get it done. It also gives younger kids (and just kids in general) no encouragement! You can't just tell a kindergartener "you haven't mastered any skills"! They think of that sentence as "haha, you're dumb and terrible and counting". It's frustrating me to ridiculous levels! All schools should use Khan Academy because it's way better and offers you actual help with math and many other topics AND it's free! IXL charges you a whopping 80 DOLLARS A MONTH! Teachers are wasting their money on something that isn't even helping us kids! Everyone should use Khan Academy! ( also I accidentally went on IXL's view source page and GUESS WHAT I FOUND!? It says the smart score system is out of date!
This website is so bad i feel like commit suiciding.My mom makes me do it everyday none stop KIDS DONT EVER USE THIS APP (website) its terribe its $hit i want this websit to be shutdown some money for the dumest website ITS A WASTE OF MONEY ITS LIKE THROWING T IN THE DRAIN I WISH I WAS DEAD THIS IS THE WORST CAUSE I HAVE TO DO IT EVERY DY ITS A APOORLING WEBSITE graphics Terrible Explantinon Just why... its like the image below
It's bad. You'll regret doing this and I wonder why they didn't make this as a tool for extreme punishment. If there's one thing you should learn in life, its that IXL is horrible. I bet Khan Academy is better, wait never mind. Khan Academy IS better, so I don't have to bet actually.
Apparently teachers still do not understand that THIS SITE IS NOT GOOD AND SHOULD NEVER EVER< EVER BE USED! I am assigned 3 topics a week, and even that's extremely annoying. IXL takes away so many points any time you get one question wrong. In the challenge zone (90 points and up) it will give only one point for every question correct, and then has a fun time bringing you down to like 84 points when you get one wrong. If I could give this horrible, awful, annoying, and terrible website zero stars, definitely would. If a teacher is reading this DO NOT MAKE YOUR STUDENTS GO THROUGH THE PAIN OF DOING EVEN ONE TOPIC A WEEK!
It stresses me out so much and its so riggged and confusing i once spent 50 mins on not even half way and i almost smashed my laptop doing ixl dont try getting member ship its a waste of money and it makes ur child cry and id rather stay with a abuser for 1000 years in hell then this fuking waste of time ixl drin my $#*!
It's ok, but It can be frustating. It only gives you one atemp to get an answer right, and when you get it wrong it makes a big fuss, and some times you put in the right awnser, but it marks it wrong for the sheer fun of it.
This site is very terable, and disorages young learners. I wouuld recomend your students to play prodigy math game instead. https://sso.prodigygame.com/game/start?rid=a2f57a2d-88c4-468c-bc99-46b*******.
So early today I was doing IXL at school. I was already in a bad mood as I was tired and and was hungry. So we have to get to 90 so after a good 20 question I get to 84 I was happy because I was close then Suddenly I get 2 incorrect in a row and boom bam bop im down to 52 this has me make an action of ripping my pencil bag in half. There is a petition about banning IXL in amercia which I wold like you to sign please Here is link:

Thank you!
IXL IS THE WORST IT SHOULD BE A TORTURE METHOD TO MAKE PEOPLES ANXIETY GO THROUGH THE ROOF AND MAKE THEM WANT TTO INFINITELY COMPLETE A SKILL WHEN YOU CANT
I hate IxL because I know the subject, but the teacher doesn't think so because I make a minor mistake, and its sets me so far back, and it causes me to mess up more. It is rigged and causes more harm than it helps, there are many study on this If you want to look it up. Thanks
IXL is so bad that when you get something right, it only gives you 1 point. But when you get something wrong, it is like "haha, you are dumb, time to take away 10 points" like, dude, this system is very unbalanced. I remember back in 3rd grade when I had some ixl for homework, and I stayed up until like mid night doing it. 1 star.
I try to get my teachers to stop IXL. I feel stupid doing it. It will give you 1 point right. -10 wrong. DO NOT DO IXL.
This takes my child forever to finish one small thing and it is totally useless and I hate it because his teachers tell him finish but it takes him so long and he gets super stressed.
My sister and and i use ixl and it is STUPID. The smart score system is really horrible. We cry lots when we get one question wrong cause it takes down ten points and adds one when your answer is correct. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE/APP!
This is the worst online learning program ever and there isn't much else to say about it this app is so bad. Also who ever says that it is amazing you need your brain checked for damage!
I would put 0 stars if I could! I'm crying when I have to do this. Do not buy. I will happily cus at it! Do not buy! It takes away points when you get a question wrong! I hate it so much
Evreything about this website is honestly pure idiocy. If you look at it some of the answers are wrong, sometimes when you look at the answers given on a multiple choice question and the explanation given to you (after you get the question wrong) the correct answer on the explanation WASN'T GIVEN TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. So all in all this website should be deleted and burned in hellfire for all the stress and anger it's caused students and parent throughout grades K-12
The problem about IXL is it's rigged. The point system is glitched and it doesn't help kids. I looked at recent reviews and it actually makes students less engaged in the lesson IXL has to offer. Also, I found that some of the lessons make you assume genders.
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.
