### 2/5 — I hate i-Ready

*2026-09-01, version 9.1.0*

When I get a question wrong and listen to why it is wrong. It tells me to enter in the correct answer and I hate that it is a 2.4 star rating and we are still doing it in sixth grade. I HATE I-READY.

### 1/5 — Why do schools still have this

*2026-08-31, version 9.1.0*

I absolutely hate this app hear me out. Their lessons are BORING. yea i said it BORING. when they were designing this app they could’ve made the lessons fun. It’s lowkey boring and every grade im in we groan bc we don’t wanna do I ready. Also the diagnostic is sooooooooooo long <:( it takes like 2 hours just to finish the diagnostic. The results never thrill me

### 2/5 — Not just homework

*2026-08-31, version 9.1.0*

I am a student with this app, and I hate it, it slowly takes Plory and Yoop away from us then their voices, it used to be okay but as you get older it takes away the fun in learning 😔

### 1/5 — Made me crash out and cry

*2026-08-30, version 9.1.0*

THIS APP IS HORRIBLE,A SINGLE MATH LESSON TAKES LIKE AN HOUR, AND IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE THEY GIVE YOU A 15 MINUTE ESSAY TO SAY YOU WERE WRONG,AND APPARENTLY THEY ARE GETTING SUED BCZ THEY ARE LEAKING STUDENTS PERSONAL INFO, THIS APP MADE MY CHILDHOOD A NIGHTMARE!

### 3/5 — A little bit horrible

*2026-08-30, version 9.1.0*

Every time when I get one question wrong at the end of the lesson, it gives me 83% white why why 83% and the crazy part is it attracts your data attracts your data and it gets sent to the teachers of your school why is I tracking your data? The reason why I gave it three stars the rest is good good interesting lessons. It has games and other stuff

### 1/5 — Make me work hard and make made me cry and made me tired

### 1/5 — Torture

*2026-09-08, version 9.1.0*

I will give you a one star because if you get like three questions wrong it gives you a low score and you don’t pass, which is not fair and also it just torments you psychologically

### 1/5 — Sad

*2026-09-06, version 9.1.0*

I hate I-ready if you get the math question wrong that is like for 3rd grade bro it’s so hard like fahhhhhhhhhh 😭😭✌️✌️

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2026-09-05, version 9.1.0*

100 questions more like 100 pain.

*2026-09-05, version 9.1.0*

I hate this app

### 1/5 — Gives you long instructions

*2026-09-05, version 9.1.0*

I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS. I ALREADY KNOW STOP TRYING TO GIVE ME THE INSTRUCTIONS I ALREADY KNOW YOU ARE LITERALLY SO UGLY 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — I am tired

*2026-09-05, version 9.1.0*

Literally scamming

### 1/5 — THANK GOD MY TEACHERS STOPPED.

*2026-09-04, version 9.1.0*

This bs of an app sucks. Half an hour for a lesson. Takes 30 seconds till I can fix a wrong answer. AND THEY TOOK AWAY THE FUN GAMES! They got sued for leaking private info to. Just sucks in general, thank goodness I don’t use anymore.

### 1/5 — genuinely suffering.

*2026-09-03, version 9.1.0*

Hey, my experience with this app started alright but the diagnostic is genuinely boring. The only fun thing was cat stacker but now it’s a breath exercise that’s more stressing now.  Now I got to I ready “pro” or whatever.  Barely any  customisation, the lessons are repetitive and boring. Horrible.

### 1/5 — IREADY IS A JOKE

*2026-09-02, version 9.1.0*

So basically everytime you get a question wrong, it gives you an essay about why you got it wrong. Not to mention the diagnostic, it is a nightmare I swear it mentally hurts me, and the people around me. It got sued for tracking innocent kids that were probably FORCED to do Iready. But yet, my school still uses it. Ixl is already bad enough. I hope this review helps you understand the horrors of this app.

### 1/5 — This isn’t a good education app for K-8

*2026-09-02, version 9.1.0*

Hi, I’m a 6th grader in Hialeah, Florida and I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS APP! Can you believe that YOUR “Educational” APP CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE DEPRESSION. Why, just why. And the reason I-Ready got sued is because it tracked data like your school search history and IP address. I HAD TO GO THROUGH 6 YEARS DOING I-READY DOING 45 MINUTES ON MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS. YOU DECIDED TO MAKE I-READY PRO AND…actually i haven’t really heard of I-Ready pro im just using it now. But anyways, this is just not a good education app. Please, if any parents or teachers are looking at this review, please look at your kid by ACTUALLY looking at them ok?

*2026-09-05, version 9.1.0*

I use this every day and it’s great only failed one lesson but I passed on the second attempt.Why is kids saying this is bad?

### 5/5 — worst app to ever exist it’s what caused the dinosaurs extinction (5 star to be seen)

### 5/5 — Useful learning tool

*2026-09-04, version 9.1.0*

I ready really helps me learn topics and understands them. Some people may think that it takes too long but if you get something wrong, you get feedback and you might even learn about something you have on a test. Continue to make iready better though

### 5/5 — THIS IS A WRETCHED CREATION

*2026-09-04, version 9.1.0*

You are a disgusting money hungry company traumatizing children. WE GOTTA SIGN A PETITION TO BAN I READY NOW!!! Hopefully you see this… I rated it five stars so you could see this… This… this is just torture to my mind and thousands of other minds… Trauma, torture, hate… trauma, torture, hate… trauma, torture…

### 5/5 — Only rating 5 stars so it can be seen

*2026-09-01, version 9.1.0*

I tried to do my iready but I can’t even log in from my district so I can’t log in and this app is HORRIBLE 1 STAR

### 5/5 — I love i-Ready

*2026-09-01, version 9.1.0*

A flawless app it has no bad stuff about it and I learned a ton of stuff

### 5/5 — I only rated 5 to be seen.

*2026-08-31, version 9.1.0*

This is the worst learning app ever and if you don’t know, they have been sued for tracking IP address without parental consent and school search history does might be allegations but still, and if I get one question wrong, it gives me a whole freaking one hour presentation on how I got it wrong and then it gives me the most unhelpful hint ever do not download this right now. I’m writing this review and there’s 2.4. Stars is the rating and there’s been over 22,000 ratings and that shows a lot please do not download i-Ready if you’re a parent reading this I will tell you from my personal experience. I downloaded i-Ready and I did it in my fifth grade year and I suffered bad. I was stressed at school all the time and I weaken some of my friendships because of the stress is the worst I’ve ever and it has made so many people cry, including me there’s currently a petition online to get i-Ready removed in the US and they needs 200,000 signing so please go sign.

### 5/5 — I hate delete this right now

*2026-08-29, version 9.1.0*

It doesn’t teach you education it just  testing your patience on things that don’t even matter do kindergarten learn anything from that no does kindergarten understand it no does kindergarten use this no so just delete I ready for  eternity and it -9 star but so it shows up I said five star but guys hate this stupid thing called I ready
