Good for learning but not for homeschoolers
I got this app because I am homeschooled, as soon as I got the app it asked for me to sign up from my school? I thought signing up was to create a account not logging in? Besides I chose guest and started doing the activities and as soon as I hit 6 or 10 questions it said I have to wait another day or some hours to use it again because I have to sign up? This shouldn’t only be for schools but also for homeschoolers. Like we don’t even go to school how would you expect us to learn and leave a good review? I also have a suggestion to improve this. You could have 2 other options, one for just signing up for school and one for creating our OWN account to use any day without complaining. This way it will be SO much more helpful for the both and equally. Please fix this because it’s so annoying that I can’t learn anything. Thanks.

Emily’s (me) opinion
I ❤️IXL but there’s I tiny improvement I’d like u 2 fix : when u get a question wrong u lose so much points and it’s really annoying to have ur hard work erased. So maybe when we get a question incorrect maybe just take away 2 points or somthin thanks . Other than that IXL is a lovely app !. My school (Daystar Academy SLT ) located in Beijing China 🇨🇳 first introduced me to IXL , so shoutout to them. I also love how when u get awards u can make them ur icon ! I hope u can improve it a little for the better . Then again u might not take the advice of a 9 year old. Thanks Fr IXL byyyyyeeeeee !

IXL is horrible
The only good thing I’ve learnt on this app is roman numerals. though, it doesn’t explain it very well. the way they explain it is so confusing. I’ve been doing IXL for the past 3-2 years and I’ve not learnt a single thing. when you’re at 97 you go down to 83?. it’s absolutely ridiculous I hate it. I spend at least two hours on one IXL. it shouldn’t take me that long to finish one IXL. I’ve been stuck on the same one for a least four weeks now and I’ve still not completed it..
This is not worth the money.

okay…
This app is ok for humans that like to learn, but for me math is not my favourite thing, and math is sometimes confusing for me, and the explanations sometimes don’t really make sense. This app helps you to learn but it is better if you learn with a real human teaching you the information right in front of you, not a random AI robot that is telling you a complicated explanation.

don't download in my opinion!
i am a 6th grade student who's school does ixl, it is very stressful. we have to do 3 a week for math and 2 for english. we do skill plans based on our testing, I am very good at english and math so I score high. the problem is my skill level. I have been doing 11th and 12th grade english since 4th grade. I have also been doing calcus and algebra math. it had gotten so hard to the point where my own teacher could not do it. she, (math teacher) had let me do recommendations, they were still so hard. then it led to me purposely doing bad on my diagnostic, (not the same as state testing dw) so I would get easier things. the english is not too hard, but the stress of a learning program should not make any kids cry. our school is a blue ribbon school so we are doing things already a couple grades ahead of us, so regular school is already hard. our ixls for the week which I previously mentioned, carry over if we do not finish all of them. at the end of our school year, many kids couldn't go to the party we had because of the amount of ixls, I for one, was a kid that had 17 ixls during the school year. I finished them, but some didn't. one of my bsfs reese had 10, (I helped her finish) one kid had 50 to do, I know, thats sound really bad. so in summary I think this could really be helpful if it is just take it slow, do your grade level etc etc.
sincerely, caroline just trying to spread awareness about the app!

Why IXL is the worst program
IXL is the worst program to be known on the history of us human beings. This apps aim is to stress your kids out each day. Destroy their childhood, and waste all your money. And guess what your paying IXL money to stress your kids out every time they use the app. I’m still not sure why people are using this app for their children, but if you are, the more your kids will grow the more complex questions will come, and when you get a question right you will barely get any points, but when you get one wrong IXL got the AMAZING idea of taking the person who is answering the question 7-11 points down. So listen up IXL you should remove the SORRY INCORRECT NOW YOU’RE AT 80% thing and make explanations more clear. One more thing it sometimes tells random things like FIND THE INDEPENDENT CLAUSE and in some points it doesn’t explain it from scratch. IXL if you are reading this you need to change loosing points thing because my siblings are get fed up of it and are always stressed from it and become angry from it.

…IXL why EVERYTIME I’m on 99 I get 1 question wrong I just go all the way back to 64 and then when they get one question right it just adds two or three or four points and then it takes like two hours and then by that time my eyes would be literally dying out, but overall quite a good learning app if it had decimal points for rating and I would definitely rate it a 4.2

I like
So by reading other people’s comments I honestly think some people are over exaggerating. Also I have been using IXL for about 5 years now, I love IXL because it does give a nice learning experience for people that are using this app. But I will say a couple things if your child is young (I would say 6-10 in age) they will find this boring, bland and non engaging because this app is not very fun looking or colourful. Let’s be real younger kids just do the learning for the fun and the entertainment and not the learning, but if child is a little older I would say they care more about the learning and not the colours. Something I would say annoys me is that once your smart score gets higher you literally go up 1 point each question which is pretty frustrating and if you get a question wrong you loose like 4 points.

Horrible App
As a student myself, using IXL puts more anxiety on top of all my work. Sometimes, I would spend hours on IXL because of its different learning style. I remember this one time I was doing a seventh grade topic. I was sitting at my computer for 4 hours trying to finish it. The last question had a fill in the blank at the beginning of the sentence. I capitalized the first letter because that is the proper grammatical way. Somehow, I got it wrong. I rechecked my spelling and I had spelled it right. But that one capitalized letter threw it off. I was so upset, and I’m sure I’m not the only student with this problem. I read reviews from schools that weren’t on the app store and I saw that the app is very expensive. Not because of the program, but the devices it’s being used on. On principal commented that they lost lots of money because of students raging at IXL. Now these reviews are going easy on IXL. But if students like me were to come on here, this app would be rated a 2 at the most. Teachers might think this app is good for learning, and it is. But this is one of the worst assignments a student could get. Please hear out cries to ban this app. I would’ve given it zero stars but I want my side of the story to be heard. Not just the teachers who are blinded by how “good” and “educational” IXL really is.
