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.

Half good half bad
May 13, 2025

Sometimes this is good and other times it isn't. I cannot tell if I like this or not. It's repetitive but it's better than other programs like iReady

Super slow
January 17, 2025

Zearn is SO SLOW. Takes forever to load, and most times the entire page just crashes. Would NOT recommend. Zearn also make you do an entirely new problem if you get something incorrect.

Why is zearn helpful?
January 16, 2025

So everytime I do a problem they make me to step for easy questions like can you just let me do it myself without unnecessary steps. Oh and also pls remove boost it doesn't really help you it just makes you do the question again with more steps( unnecessary) and it makes my friends stress out.

Zearn is so stupid
January 13, 2025

Zearn is so stupid the sprints don't care if you do nothing. The wild cards are so cringey. And don't get me started on the tower of power and I used to like math but since 2nd grade I have hated it. I hate ZEARN and cant wait for it to be banned

SO BAD
December 2, 2024

This is the worst. Zearn makes it so hard to understand. They make it so hard that it is so complicated. Whenever I type in what most people would put in, it just says that I am wrong. And a another thing is that they make each mission soooooo long and nobody would be able to complete it.

Incompetent
August 22, 2024

Incompetence knows no bounds at Zearn. Just, avoid. Communication is not viable and the company makes learning experiences impossible rather than facilitate them.

THIS APP IS THE WORST. Listen any time my child has to do Zearn he HATES it and so do I every time he signs out it deletes his progress, furthermore he constantly has to ask me for help and even when I Google the answer it still says it's wrong only to tell us the EXACT SAME ANSWER I worked at a school where they had to do zearn and EVERYONE hated it PLEASE get RID OF ZEARN. Teachers and school boards and administrators DO NOT MAKE YOUR STUDENTS PLAY THIS.😡😡😡

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.

Do not use!
February 27, 2024

This website teaches nothing new. If you make a small mistake on the tower of power your progress is reset. The image below is really ez math and is said to be "6th grade math". The video is really unnecessary long, and its better to skip to the questions. Also there a lot of unnecessary things such as sprint. This is coming from a 6th grader and its insane how they get MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUNDING!

Kids across America are 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 many kids, 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 is harming our children and should NOT be a required activity in schools.

Zearn bad
January 17, 2024

Zearn is complete and utter garbage, the work does not even compare to the same difficulty of work as my grade level has. It is too easy yet I, and many others seem to get our answers wrong. Zearn should be taken down.
