Horrible

This app used to be amazing and I was getting through my classes quickly while still obtaining the knowledge and skills. But they keep changing things and making it harder for students to complete classes as they want at the speed they want.

Amazing

I love this app. In the beginning, it kind of confused me how they taught but now it has helped me . 2.75 GPA with their help now I’m at a 4.0 GPA! Some of the teachers teach really slowly and act, as if I am younger than they think I am.

Worst program

I want you guys to kick me out right now because your program is the worst You guys have the worst teachers, the worst courses and most importantly the worst course of all time algebra either you guys kicked me out or I will go ahead and go bomb the company which one will it be? And you have an AI assistant as my guide what is wrong with you? I always have to do vector instruction because of how hard the questions are and I watch the same video 1000 times during my final exam and during vector instruction. it also randomly kicked me out for no reason when I’m on a course. So this is my message to y’all either you guys kick me out permanently or I will go ahead and go tell my mom to kick me out of this 1940s program which one will it be?!?!?!?!?!?!?

This is a SCAM!!!

I use this app to do my school work. The social and emotional class is just about submitting to what SOCIETY WANTS!! You aren't happy around your friends?? WELL FORCE YOURSELF TO BE!!! You do not share soneone elses opinion?? NOW YOU HAVE TO!! Not to mention the fact that it gives you questions to trick you and purposely get it wrong!!! DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD DO THIS!!! I do NOT care what anyone says. IT IS A BAD FORM OF ONLINE SHCOOL. It does NOT teach me anything except how to conform to societal standards like a robot, if you do not agree with their standards, then you're wrong!!

Changed for the worse

This program started out good but each update brings new challenges. Our frustrations started several months ago with videos replaying 3 to 4 times before letting my child continue. I spoke with Acellus who gave suggestions, which we tried but no success with the problem. Then, the program began limiting how much progress my child could make each week. We are using this program to catch up after being out of school several years due to medical reasons. We were told the program is self paced and my son could catch up the last 2 years to join his peers this coming fall. Now the program won’t let him due more than a few hours a week. I called Acellus and they said he can’t progress faster than the school year pace! This was the whole reason we chose this platform! Now, the app is glitching multiple times a day and causing nonstop frustration for both my son and I. We’re saying goodbye to Acellus and switching to a different company. It’s more money but at least we’ll get better quality for the money, do better Acellus!

Learning

I learned a lot from this app!!

This is dumb

I do school work on here, it sucks because one there’s no deadlines, I can do it whenever so I’m super behind— and two in English writing assignments it label words in other languages as wrong. At this point I’m ready to submit one FULLY not in English because there’s no reason I should have to remove the last name of someone’s name when giving credit to them in my work just cause it’s not English

This school is great

In my opinion it’s not better than private school but I like it I’m doing it right now it’s a pretty good school but I wish I could raise it to where I was before I joined the school

Hey

Glitched and slow

Pretty Solid App

Due to issues, I’ve been behind in school for years. I got this app a year or two ago.

I started in grade two, and I’m already in 6th, but even though it teaches you things my parents didn't even know, it is not perfect. I, for one, don’t like that when you take the final exam, even if you only missed one question, you have to redo the 30+ auditions from the whole grade to get 100%.

It bothers me because most of the time it wasn't because I got it wrong, it was because I put it in wrong.

Like earlier in your lesson, it’ll tell you to do the math, THEN simplify, but after it starts teaching you to simplify before submitting, so after getting in the habit of simplifying first, you decide I get a 94% or lower because I didn't put in the answer before simplifying? I don’t really know, but that’s just my feelings about it, and I don’t have an issue with any other part of the app.

I just hope they can change the final exam so we don’t have to do all of the questions again just to get two extra answers correct for 100%

New step limit is irritating

I’ve been using this program for the past 6 years, and I’ve loved it until the recent updates. Before, I believe the 40 steps per week limit was okay, it was enough to get stuff done. Now, I can barely get percentages up for my classes (even if I’m behind on classes) and cannot graduate early like I was looking forward to. If the 40 steps limit comes back, I’d recommend this program to others.

False advertising

When I first started Acellus, their main thing was self-pace, and now it's not. I can only do a couple of steps a week, and it's holding me back from returning to school on time. If I had known this from the beginning, I would have never done it. You all are so inconsiderate, selfish, and liars, and you will end up losing customers with your false advertising. Even when my mom tried to call, your employees sounded like they don't care. Keep this up, and you will lose a lot of people. I regret picking Acellus; they changed.

Fix it now

So after the last update and every time you swipe out of Acellus it signs you out every time you swipe of the app fix it now

Easier for Parents Horrible for the Kids

I've been using acellus for the past three years and I'm disappointed to be saying this is what I'm using to graduate from. The lack of tools and how outdated sources is ridiculous especially considering that many special needs users like myself have to use this. Many things such as when you have to write grades you automatically which is easier to some, but no matter what you have to write on you could write about something completely seperate and still manage to get a 100. It's also just not engaging whatsoever, and it's the same basic format for every type of class.

Expected More

I've been a student at Acellus for the past six years. When I first started, there were no weekly step limits. The platform was easy to use, very accessible, and you could contact teachers if you needed help. You were also able to complete as much work as you wanted, making it easier to stay on track and reach your goals. Now, it's completely different. The 15-step weekly limit is incredibly frustrating. You could be just three steps away from finishing a class, but Acellus won't let you continue until the following week. That can be especially discouraging for students who are trying to graduate on time. My brother was also an Acellus student, and he had a difficult experience when it came to graduating. He was required to complete two additional classes that weren't necessary, which delayed his graduation. Acellus should listen to the students who use the platform every day. Bringing back unlimited steps or at least offering more flexibility for students who are close to finishing a course. that would make a huge difference. The current system creates unnecessary stress and makes it harder for motivated students to make progress. PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR STUDENTS!!

Was good but it’s gone downhill.

App is glitchy, uses AI, writing assignments are horrible to do on here, and a new update made signing in a real pain.

New step limit

They need to bring the old step limit back😐😐

Almost perfect

I like the classes, especially as a finance in history classes the sixth and seventh grade teachers w but writing tutor more like help you go insane and break your computer tutor number one it doesn’t give you any creativity always locking you down and I’m fine if it’s like oh you should’ve put a comma there but sometimes I use a word and then it tells me to put a different word there in both words could’ve been used and it says this text is unnecessary like no it’s made me correct errors on writing that Acellus did and whenever I’m writing a large word it usually doesn’t get all of the key presses I put down so I have to rewrite it three times very frustrating. Please fix this and if you write 300 words on a 50 word essay, you should get points and want to be real unless you’re not paying attention re-watching the video is not a good help video and one time I wrote so the plaster does not stick now you put the plaster on and let it dry and it said do you mean the to all of it?☹️☹️☹️☹️😂😂😂😂😂 seventh grade social studies class. They have one about searching and it’s like Bob wants to learn about gardening. What does he look at question cool keyboard question two how to drive a car three cool gardening stuff.
