IXL - Math, English, & More 4+

As a student I think ixl is not very fun only because when you get a question wrong it sets you back more points than when you get one right. It’s still a good learning app exept for when it makes me cry out of flustration because of how it’s set up. Most teachers assign and encourage children to use this app because of the education that it offers. Yes it does offer good help and practice but is still quite annoying when I get one wrong and it sets me back even more points. I have heard from so many other kids that they dislike ixl because of the way it’s set up. This can often effect how long your child spends on the app trying to get a perfect score. They can stay up hours just trying to get that score, and in my opinion I think that ixl needs to be changed in a way that children are not staying up so late trying to get a good score and instead only spending so much time on the app. If ixl could make it so that when you get a problem wrong it demotes you the same amount of points as it would when you get one right. I think this would help so many children and parents not stay up late and still be able to practice. I don’t know if this function was on purpose and the ixl company had a reason for this, but almost every person I ask gives me an explanation on why they dislike ixl.

I’m a student in 3rd grade and my parent is encouraging me to use this app I think it is fine but it’s confusing to navigate through the app. IXL doesn’t give any instructions at all of how to use this app. My second complaint is that the “recommendations” part is weird! I did a course to see what level I’m at and it put me to 5th doing things I don’t even understand and never learned in 3rd grade at all! Some of the past reviews say that it’s a stressful app and one of them said there kids came home in tears because it put their level down low? I really don’t think that’s how a kid should feel after a math app. If you’ve had these experiences try “Zearn” or “Kumon” because in both of those apps it doesn’t make you feel bad or mad or sad. If you’ve ever had a bad experience with this app try those apps they are better. I hope the owner reads this and tries to find a way to make a better experience in this app. I am not trying to spread hate into this app I’m just trying to make it better but so far none of the reviews have a developer response and I really hope someone reads this and does something about it. Please don’t take this as a offense.

-just trying to make math
A better and funner thing.

I’m a parent and I don’t like how we aren’t able to set it up on our personal phones or computers…my kids have learning disabilities and I feel it can help more if my kids can work on the same thing as many times as they want at home that they are in school to get better at it… the school has their own personal accounts for them so them having an account I can make for them at home isn’t going to bother anything for school but why can’t we as parents be able to have the exact account at home for more practice and learning for kids that way they doing the exact thing at school…also the point thing is ridiculous it causes kids to give up and just quit or put anything bc it takes way to long to pull score back up from a missed answer..also I think it will be good for school and home since everything is digital which is terrible for kids with adhd and disabilities but it would be great for them to give 3 examples and show step by step what to do before doing work like they just have to watch and listen before they have to actually do the lessons because the teachers don’t really teach anymore at all they literally just allow the computer to do it all so the computer needs to be set as acting as the teacher by showing 3 examples step by step mandatory to watch and listen to before any lesson began…help us help our children be successful as well
