Question

Is this supposed to be the main schooling if I don’t go to public school?, cause this has been my only schooling since 2nd grade..I’m in 5th now

It’s not bad

The school is great! But the only problem I have is the history it’s teaching religion history and not actual history like Martin LkJ or wars and religion history should only be bought on books or different types of churches

Not working

This app just isn’t working on my phone or my computer. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

This school SUCKS

Mr Rodger’s sucks he is sooooo annoying and his wife or sister is really annoying to the all talk way to slow like I don’t have time for this and homeschool is supposed to be quicker then regular school but this program is not it’s just a bunch of old grannies and most the vids are from 2013 and 2009 years old there talking like there from the dinosaur ages who knows what there even talking about my old teachers in public school are better then these people.and my teacher corrected me and asked what is 12x8 and I answered it’s 96 and she was like no your wrong I’m like no I’m right your wrong I also said 96 like 96 inches and 6 butcher blocks she was so confused and it’s also 8 feet and I said I beat all my money I’m right you wrong so she looked it up and I was right

Good in learning but sucks in scoring

When I get a 100% it erases it and starts me over fix this now!!

Love acellus but needs work.

I love learning with acellus, BUT the A.I. sometimes just is a little too strict. But my main concern is that if I go back to get information I cant go back, Im suggesting that we can fast forward back to where we were. But not past where we was, I love to clarify but its hard to when I have to rewatch the whole thing if something I needed was at the start. Thank you!!

i cant use it

this app actually is horribly buggy because i cant use it in different states and anywhere, it also fails me when i get something right for once.

the amount of steps you give us is way too low.

it says you have to do 40 hours a week, but it doesn’t give you enough steps to do and and it only gives you three classes to do at a time. I don’t know how they expect us to do 40 hours a week, but only give us around 30 steps to do a week per class. it takes me a couple hours to complete it and i cant even get close to the 40 hours.

several issues (at least, in my opinion)

I’m taking the seventh grade course on Acellus, and I’ve found several issues with the app. if normal school is hell, this thing is like…hell but hell-ier…

this might just be my iPad, but I often find myself waiting ages for the application to load and experienced a fair amount of lag.

in my opinion, some of the teachers spoke way too slow or over-explained, and some didn’t cover the topic enough.

another issue I came across that really bothered me was the AI grading system.
I typically write above grade level, but the AI, instead of reading my essays as a whole like other artificial intelligence systems (chatgpt and all), it only reads the words without taking them in context.
I’ve consistently gotten marked as having 4th and 5th grade writing levels, even though, when I ask others, they usually say it’s 7th/8th grade level.
it constantly recommends that I use different words for “very,” “well,” “said,” and others, even when switching them out wouldn’t make sense.
I, personally, find this issue to be quite upsetting. it means my grade is being lowered for essentially no reason.

I recommend finding a different app or using platforms like Zoom to participate in virtual school classes.
feel free to ignore my probably heavily biased opinion, but this app made me shed tears so I felt the need to share my experience. !!

Doesn’t teach my little brother

I hate it

Just fixed the AI grammar

Can you guys please fix your AI grammar checking? I keep getting this thing that pops up saying that I misspelled. The name Icarus to the point that I just can’t use it. It happened again the school is supposed to be so advanced, but apparently duplicities isn’t a word. And they’re ignoring multiple people in the reviews that are talking about it. Edit: the problem still hasn’t changed. Now the problem is I put mom instead of mommy when asked who I was gonna write about. Then the text that they made was marked as unclear like I’m so frustrated

App Log In

I love the general education system. But setting up my easy sign in was really hard. It said choose new sign in. But whatever I put in it would say invalid username or password. So overall I like the rest of the system but the sign in part has some problems.

My school doesn’t work

It never works! I update it I try everything
The app doesn’t work at all! When you try to hit an answer it never works always freezes!!
Pls fix the app

Acellus sucks

It does not give good information and the teachers suck a lot. They do not get very good privilege and information. They are very under knowledge and they do not understand when the kids do not do very well. They just send them right off to a video if they get under 70% and I think that I said them off they should get a chance because I think they do know what they’re doing because they are because Acellus is very bad

Sucks

This app is rigged and SHOUKD never be downloaded

Max amount of steps

this new cap on the amount of steps you can do in a week is genuinely irritated, i used to do 40 and now i can only do 17. I was going to be able to be done in october and now it’s january. I’ve seen many people upset at this no one can get work done when that amount is done in 2 days even with notes and test and then you have to wait a week for it to restart 🙄 Other than that the app is fine but this money grab stunt you’re pulling is irritating

Good acellus

Very good i got cellus bot it connects too sign in I don’t like it but possible

Greedy

I truly used to love Acellus, but now with the new updates it is truly just no worth it on my NEW laptop and Ipad it glitches and replays the video and sometimes makes me not be able to answer questions without logging out. And I am going to be going to a new homeschool app from how they added the new week limit I am officially behind in school because they add this limit when I was out of town and skipped some of my work I can’t even catch up in a month. Please fix your glitchy app but I will be moving to a new app.

Dislike New Changes

My son started with Power Homeschool in Grade 5. He is now in Acellus Academy Grade 12. The recent (July 2026) changes have potentially impacted his graduation date as he had plans to push hard and take more courses to get a broad range of required courses for his college applications. It is no longer the self paced learning they advertise. Before, some core courses had a max of 40 steps per week. Those are now 24-26 steps per week. The other courses didn’t have that threshold but now they do which means some are as low as 12 steps per week. So a child who is engaged and interested in learning has to sit around and wait to do more. 12 steps is 6 videos and 6 quizzes. That is not a lot of work per week. All to extend “learning time” and $$$ paid.

Homeschooling

hello i started homeschool just a few days ago and im here to answer some of ur questions.
you get videos that are easy to understand and WAY less stressful then a normal school would be
you can do this anytime in the day i like to do it before bed or in the morning so i have all day with my mom and everything.
this improved my mental state and my anxiety by a ton as someone who has severe social anxiety
this app is the one
Once ur done with ur classes for the day you can also play some informational games which are kinda nice.! Hope this helped.
