Dear Zearn Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express some concerns and feedback regarding my experience with the Zearn platform. While I appreciate the mission and innovative approach that Zearn brings to mathematics education, I have encountered several challenges that I believe could be addressed to enhance the user experience for both students and educators. One of the most significant challenges I have faced is the user interface. While I understand that the platform is designed to be intuitive, I have found it to be somewhat confusing, particularly for younger students. Navigation between lessons and activities can be unclear, which sometimes leads to frustration. I believe that a more streamlined and visually engaging interface could greatly improve the overall experience for users. I have experienced several technical glitches while using the Zearn platform. For instance, there have been instances where the platform has lagged significantly or even crashed during critical lessons. This not only disrupts the learning process but also causes frustration for students who are eager to engage with the material. Consistent performance and reliability are crucial for an effective online learning experience. As an educator, I value the ability to customize lessons and track student progress. However, I have found that the current options for customization within Zearn are limited. It would be beneficial to have more flexibility in tailoring lessons to meet the diverse needs of students. Furthermore, providing more detailed analytics on student performance would allow educators to identify areas for improvement and adjust their teaching strategies accordingly. While Zearn provides some support resources, I feel that there is a lack of comprehensive materials to help educators effectively implement the program in their classrooms. Additional resources such as detailed lesson plans, video tutorials, and best practice guides would be incredibly valuable. These resources could help educators maximize the potential of the platform and enhance student engagement. Feedback is a crucial component of the learning process, yet I have found that the feedback mechanisms within Zearn are not as robust as they could be. Providing immediate, actionable feedback to students as they work through problems is essential for their learning. I would appreciate more features that allow for timely feedback and assessments to help guide student learning effectively. In my attempts to address some of these issues, I have reached out to your support team. While I appreciate their efforts, the response time has been longer than expected. Timely communication is essential for resolving issues quickly, especially when they impact student learning. I suggest improving response times and possibly providing a more direct line of communication for urgent matters. In today's educational landscape, the ability to integrate with other educational tools is vital. I have found that Zearn's compatibility with other platforms is limited. Expanding integration options would not only streamline the educational experience but also allow for a more holistic approach to learning. While Zearn's curriculum is well-structured, there are times when I have noticed a misalignment with state standards. Ensuring that the content is consistently updated and aligned with current educational standards is essential for maintaining the program's credibility and effectiveness. In conclusion, I want to reiterate that I value the work that Zearn is doing in the field of education. The platform has the potential to be a transformative tool for students and educators alike. However, addressing the issues outlined above would significantly enhance the user experience and support the educational community more effectively.

I hope that you will take this feedback into consideration as you continue to develop and improve the Zearn platform. I believe that with some adjustments, Zearn can become an even more valuable resource for mathematics education.
Thank you for your attention to these matters. I look forward to seeing how Zearn evolves in the future.
Sincerely,
Mariah

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 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.

ITS THE WORST THEY PUT UNECESARY THINGS LIKE STUPID SPRINTS LIKE WARM UPS IT WASTE A LOT OF TIME WE DO LIKE ONE HUNDRED MINUTES AND THE WARM UPS ARE USELESS IT MAKES ME WANT TO RIP MY HAIR OUT.🤬

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 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.

This is either always to hard or to easy and it really is annoying in the tower of power you make one mistake and it makes you start over it is really unfair and annoying i hate it

I mean at least make it so you dont have to repeat a whole level at tower of power or else im writing even worse reviews (Trust me the next reviews are going to be worse)

The image below is "7th Grade math". The question was which image looks closest to the original. Zearn's "Tower of Power" teaches us how to climb the tower to get the power of losing brain cells. My grade is lucky enough to my provided with Desmos as the main math provider. We are only required to use this brain pollution as "advanced math", while the rest of the school has to use it for all of the math classes. I'm disappointed by the fact that they ask you to donate to this $#*!. Whatever nimrod made this can go $#*! themselves.

Most of the questions are elementary level. For example, I am in 8th grade, and I get 10s and 1s blocks to add and subtract. This is way too easy and they require 3 of these a week. Other times when I get actual questions I get x,y coordinates and have to plot them or find the coordinates on the graph from the shape or letter. Then the tower of power. If I ever do miss a question, I have to redo all of it, like just let me put the right answer in. And, when finding the x,y on the graph, if I type in for example, 3, it is right. But, if I type in 2 and 2/2 or whatever, it says nuh uh. This makes zero sense.

One day, i was watching my son do zearn. He got a question wrong and asked me to help so i answered the question, but i mistyped and got it wrong and it electrocuted me, which made me extremely hard. Now me and my wife use tasers in bed
