The Great Lexia

I personally think it’s fine for myself because it is somewhat like a video game

I started at . . .

I love this! I started at thirteen and made my way up to 21. In 3rd grade! We weren’t supposed to do that yet hahaha.

WORST FRIKIN THING IN THE UNIVERSEEEE

FRIK WHO EVER MADE THIS

Great app for educational purposes, but lacks perfection.

1. Way too buggy on mobile.
Reasoning:
When you go on mobile, and you get one of those “drag the word roots to the corresponding box”, it just glitches out and takes almost 5 seconds for it to load! Sometimes the system might even crash and you would have to restart the whole unit again!
How to fix:
Just make the reload time faster, that is it.
2. Talks too much
Reasoning:
Okay, this is even more frustrating. When you get 1 question wrong, it talks about “Oh, you got it wrong, do some practice problems that are literally the same.” Well, you have to waste your time doing literally the same problem that you got wrong 2 times! And then it explains the whole problem and talks for like a minute straight. Why can’t it just say “You are wrong.” And give you another try or attempt?
How to fix:
Just change the code of the app into giving students a second, or maybe even third try and not talk too much.
In conclusion, Lexia is a great app for educational purposes, but it has many bugs and it is very frustrating for users.
