There are lots of reviews on here that have one or two stars but those are just kids who hate learning and don't know the Insufferable pain that is I-Ready. IXL has helped me a lot through middle school and to put how helpful IXL is into perspective I learned imaginary numbers in 7th grade. Please do not listen to all these whiny kids who don't like learning.
OK, I'm gonna be honest, this site would not be so GODAWFUL if they changed the question format and gave us a 'Dark mode' setting. I mean, you're gonna see the same damn question like 400 times if you get it wrong ONCE. And there is no setting for disabled people like a line reader or anything. Only a stupid little piece of sh*t they call the 'Drawing tool.' I mean, come on. No one actually uses that except when they're bored of being on IXL, which is a little ironic. So, some tips: don't use. Boring as watching paint f*cking dry.
The point system is unfair, making a lot of stress for students. Also, the explanations are trash as f##k, adding even more stress when students get questions wrong and then they see the same exact f##king thing over and over just cause they got one wrong. This site should be banned from all school districts forever and ever. (Seriously, just use khan academy).

I am a middle school student, age 11 who loves going to school but IXL just ruins it. IXL was a good idea but the owners have failed to execute the idea decently. IXL can be stressful because of the point system. The point system doesn´t make any sense because why should I be losing 16 points over 1 question? The percentage system seems way more reasonable here. I did not buy the IXL subscription and I am happy that the school does because I would never buy such a thing. IXL should change a few things.
Tip for consumers:
IXL is terrible.

I implore you, do not use this website. My younger brother and I have actually cried in Ixl, you get 1 problem away from finishing, and then it brings you down 10 points. I request that you do not call this "education" it is simply an excuse for a painful way to get kids to memorize a sentence. This website is absolute trash and I hope it gets ripped to shreds like paper, please, don't use this.

I was on ixl for a lesson on percentages. When I was on my last question I got it wrong, no worries right?
WRONG I got down from a 99 to a 87 But when i get something right, I only get 3 points.
I love ixl but this makes it to 2 stars, If the points problem was fixed a 5 stars.
Ixl makes me slave away 100 hours a day. I have not seen my family in 22 straight days since 1/2/24... I miss them so much. Please bring justice for this horrendous site that won't and will not EVER let me catch a break. For over 432 days, i have been slaving away. I thought it was a harmless site, but NO! I was happy to join the time, but like iready... I slave away, each day, crippling loneliness... depression. Justice to the slavess of IXL

This app put me in the psychiatric hospital because i stayed up to late doing it and got a bit silly and quirky... long story short i ended up with federal felony and many other criminal charges across just a few different states! Now i am writing this review from the mental hospital after pleading insanity to all of my charges... hopefully my ward doesn't look through this search history...

Most teachers think that Ixl is a good thing for kids but studies have shown that it can increase anxiety can hurt your Mental Health. Most children who have gone though this know "IXL only make a student or user want to get through the lesson as fast as possible without helping them learn it, the answering system will make you upset and if you get one question wrong once you hit around 60, it makes you go down at least 15 points." This is about my self the Ixl i'm on made me cry and it was very hard

I actually used my brain on IXL unlike I-Ready.
Unlike I-ready I actually learn things on IXL. (But unfortunately, my dumb school canceled their subscription to IXL) And also unlike I-ready I get to pick what I want to learn. On I-Ready I have to learn stuff I already know but on IXL if 7th grade math is too easy (Which it is) I can go up to Math 2 at will. Go to https://www.change.org/p/ban-i-ready-from-schools to help destroy the useless, free time extinguisher that is I-ready.

BURN IN HELL I-READY

My brain.
It just doesn't explain well enough. When I get something wrong, I want a good concise explanation on how to do it, not a bunch of yapping going nowhere or 10 words basically saying "look at the picture". Just use Khan Academy, it's so much better
IXL's point system is painful. In the later stages of tasks, when you get a question right your 'smartscore' (which I think is a pretty stupid name. It suggests that your intelligence revolves around this one revolutionary task that you'll forget about in 5 minutes) Increases by 1 or 2, but if you get a question wrong it decreases by 7 or 8, putting you back as much as 8 questions. I hate it. Do not recommend. If your teacher is putting you through this, file a court case for child abuse. I send my prayers.
Tip for consumers:
Don't use it

I was cruelly inflicted IXL homework, so I used the teacher recommendations and the diagnostic.
I'll has caused me so much anxiety. The smartphone system is so stupid, just building a child up just to knock them down again. I spend 5 hours on one little practice because of the point system being so rigged. My mind gets so fuzzy after a while and I can't focus on this crap. It's so harsh on students.
Tips for educators and parents: do not buy this! Has given my friends severe depression and aanxiety.makes me so mad at this app for giving me so much anxiety from this

IXL actually sucks $#*!, the fact you are so close to 100 and it kicks you back to square one. Somebody shoot this website. It's stupid that I spent 3 $#*!ing hours of my life each day for this piece of $#*!. Golly, who is the damn CEO of this failed company. It's not even a $#*!ing company, it's a peanut gallery, faggot made website. If I was in charge of this website, I would delete it all and then kill myself for thinking of something so rigged and $#*!ing dumb.

Not worth its rigged. U go up so little points but go down so much points its a rage factory it sucks waste of time
Geez, if you hate IXL, then what about I-Ready? IXL can be boring, but at least you can actually pick your lessons instead of just getting whatever you got picked for you by the app. If you hate I-Ready, try IXL it's a lot better. Glad there is some math app that's better than I-Ready.
Tip for consumers:
Don't do I-Ready. Do IXL, it's a LOT better

I have seen so many children hate this. They say it does not help, it just cements it into their brain and doesn't make a difference. For the districts, you are paying for something kids aren't doing, so why bother? Little origami swans won't motivate children, so why are you giving these awards? They are only good for flexing them, and NO child will do that. This is beyond horrible, to make it fun, you must redo it!
Goodbye, Gummy
Tip for consumers:
Hate it. Delete it. Get a refund. Don't buy it.

IXL is the worst website to possibly use in school. It's "Smart Score" system is not at all smart, quite frankly it is rigged. You can answer 15 questions to get up to an 85, then drop down 20 points because of a single wrong answer. And a note to parents and teachers: Do not put your kids through this, Districts across the United States have had to replace devices because of kids raging while doing IXL.
This is horrible, it's dumb, it's so annoying, The worst app ever, i would've liked it better if i dont have to keep going up and down okay bye.
As you can see from the other reviews from this site, IXL is a learning site... THAT IS SO PAINFUL! Though IXL says it's personalized learning, all it does is push skills towards you. In each skill you have to get 100 points to earn mastery. At first, you get 10 or more points per question... but then that number dwindles to a few points. Worse, IXL is really unforgiving - mistyping, misclicking, forgetting a zero, making a rounding mistake, and more can cause you to lose a TON of points later in the level.
If you are an adult reading this, DON'T MAKE KIDS DO THIS! If you are a kid like me, GET AN ACCOUNT AND WRITE A REVIEW!

Sucks ballssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
It is the BEST BEST way to put your kid into a complete breakdown. You can make him/her have constant mental breakdowns, and see him/her get frustrated. Its also the best way to turn him/her into a nuke! The constant setback with its lenient punishment for getting a question wrong is THE BEST! There's ONE MAIN ISSUE; for some reason, after I do ixl, my computer always is folded in half again, and has a few more cracks in it. It also for some reason, has this green thing with small boxes and lines and letters... I don't know
My teacher is making me and my fellow classmates do 2 hours and 30 minutes of IXL each week for the rest of the entire year. It counts for over 40% of our overall grade. Every time I finish my IXL homework I am always in a worse mood than I was before. Its "smart score" is rigged and broken. No dark mode, either. Please just don't use this website, and especially avoid how my teacher uses it.
IXL is the world's most popular subscription-based learning site for K-12. Used by over 6 million students, IXL provides unlimited practice in more than 7,000 topics, covering math, language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish. Interactive quest...
