en | Well, it works fine for what it's for. Most of the negative reviews here seem to be a vain attempt at getting this app removed from the web store and/or to vent. |

en | this is the worst application to practice ANYTHING. The point system is shouldn't even be in a practice program. Your trying to teach kids how to learn, not to simply google the answers because of how broken the system is. IXl is not for older kids, older kids tend to focus on things that are fun and that's why their GPA score is a lot lower than younger kids GPA score. Get rid of the point system and give us an actual grade instead of forcing us to get a 100. When we practice, we are expected to get things wrong and that's okay. But, forcing us to get it right is just plain out wrong. IXl would be entertaining without the point system. Doing a summer packet on IXL is hell. Do better IXL -a 7th grade student. |

en | Fundamentally, IXL is actually an XLent application. (see what I did there? why aren't you laughing at the joke? *pulls colt smg* laugh at the joke.) At grade levels 5 and under, the application is great for a quick 10-minute practice session, and is a great application to use if you're a teacher looking to quickly give the students an assignment to refresh their memory. However, once you reach 6th grade, things become shaky as hell. First of all, I hate the point system. Everyone hates the point system. It's unfair, and cannot be reset under ANY condition. This means that if you answer 30 questions and you're still confused with the topic (which can be represented through a score of 70 or below for assignments with the normal scoring type), when you come back and finally understand the topic, you have to spend a ridiculous amount of time essentially answering the same question with different variables. I'm of course talking about IXL math, since it's the most commonly used subject on IXL. On top of that, the point deductions are frustrating beyond belief. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I went from 97 to 89 points because of one silly mistake. Additionally, for IXL math grades 6 and up, the questions don't actually get any more difficult once you reach a SmartScore of 85 or 90, depending on whatever topic you're practicing. All they do is throw in some extra variables and decimal areas, making the assignment more complicated, not harder. The application isn't as terrible as people make it out to be, and if you look past the experience you have with the horrible point system, you can see the silver lining. This is coming from someone that just answered seventy questions to master a skill, and I can say that the Diagnostic arena is my favorite part of the application. It lets you know if you've been improving (if you wait for it to refresh for about a month after taking it), and you can flex on your friends that you're 3,402,840,275,684,002,987,453 grade levels ahead of your own. For those that don't want to read this essay, I understand. Overall, I cannot recommend this to anybody that's trying IXL math at a high level. The point system and the difficulty "increase" (which just overcomplicates questions) leave much to be desired, but I only cried over the application once! Don't worry, I've cried over Roblox more. Have a good! |

en | WORST APP EVER!!! I swear to god if my lazy teachers tell me to use this again im going to flip. This app is used by really really boring and lazy teachers whom dont want to do anything. I am in the 7th grade and I have used this for Many years. This app is not fun AT ALL, Its actually the opposite of fun. It makes students stress too much which makes it harder for us to focus.If you are a teacher whom uses this app. From now on, you are forbidden to use this application with your students. You are only making it worse for the kids to learn and pay attention. (i have broken 2 computers because of this app) |
