I don't not like it
★★★★ Yared Bedane 7/1/2026 v8.2.2
ITS THE WORST APP I EVER GOT ITS A SCAM I HAVE BEN ON A LESSON FOR 5 HOURS AND 494 QUESTIONS ANSWERED
★★★★ Elza Deeley 6/30/2026 v8.2.2
during school my teacher forced my entire class to use IXL and it was im pretty sure 20% of our math grade, she would assign like 3-5 IXL's a day and only three people in my class could keep up, IXL gave me so much anxiety throughout the school year that I started to pull out my hair and I kept crying and almost threw up from stress while doing IXL multiple times. I stg if next school year i get more IXL stress im just gonna refuse to do them
★★★★ Phil Sheridan 6/30/2026 v8.2.2
it wont let you play games that are available on desktop. it wont even let you play the games in desktop browser mode if you have the app.. it keeps trying to open the app..
★★★★ Silver Reign 6/30/2026 v8.2.2
nah this sucks i used it in school all the time but it just sucks
★★★★ Claudia Sommers 6/30/2026 v8.1.1
Review for app only: As a parent user, I can't access analytics from the app. And that's what I need. IXL website is amazing and useful. My kids have learned a lot from it.
★★★★ Maryam Burhan 6/29/2026 v8.2.2
This app was horrible for math as it did not have equivalent so if you added 3+2 instead of 2+3 it would mark wrong
★★★★ Chante Clarke (Ms Clarke) 6/28/2026 v8.2.2
the app isn't easy to use because you have to have a username and password which I don't have access to.
★★★★ Jason Dixon 6/27/2026 v8.2.2
it doesn't teach you anything, it uses the same problems, and it's trying to torture kids
★★★★ rodolfo villano 6/27/2026 v8.2.2
horrible and perfect for crashing out
★★★★ Veronika Kosacheva 6/27/2026 v8.2.2
I hate this app because, there isn't anything like customising your avatar, or having something fun. Also instead of going back when you get your Answers wrong the percent stay where it is, and when you get it wrong the explanations don't help at all. Make this more fun or if you don't change I will complain. It must get closer to Mathematics, then I am quitting. DELETE IS APP OR DIE.
★★★★ irene ondieki 6/26/2026 v8.2.2
It sometimes marks you wrong if you get it right like I answered 2/3 times 3/10 equals 1/5 and I got it wrong.So then I had to restart because of smth I got corrected,and I only used the app for one day and it happened
★★★★ Bob Jones 6/25/2026
I was going to do some ixl for fun, but $20 a month for just the core subjects???? im not paying for that, you also cant even sign up in the app
★★★★ Rasha Jaoad 6/25/2026 v8.2.2
frustrating a LOT
★★★★ Reese 6/23/2026
I hate IXL. I spend too much time on a device learning in class when my teacher could do what she is supposed to do and TEACH.
★★★★ Taylin Harriott 6/23/2026 v8.2.2
boring is annoying it's barely fun make it more Incredible please make it more fun I'm I hate your game 😭🥀🤢🤢🤌
★★★★ Elijah Marshall 6/22/2026 v8.2.2
You can't learn anything from this.
★★★★ jacob paterson 6/22/2026
I should of listened to the reviews, this app is quite awful. it tells me I have to sign in but doest give an option to create an account so your forced to play as a guest and learn nothing
★★★★ Amber Ward 6/21/2026 v8.2.2
cant even log in normally imagine making a child pay to use without school,disgraceful.
★★★★ Bailey 6/20/2026 v8.2.2
i accidentally touch a answer and there are no the submit button because it disappeared so then my smart score droped to zero just because i accidentally touch a answer so I hate this
★★★★ Keza Tatala 6/14/2026 v8.2.2
worst
★★★★ Williamday 6/12/2026
it needs to have guest usage for like 10 of its subjects but we can only do like half of that
★★★★ Lillian Osting 6/11/2026 v8.2.2
Dont use this for your children
★★★★ Anthonyo Oge Duperval 6/11/2026 v8.2.2
l don't want to learn
★★★★ Jayde Smith 6/10/2026 v8.2.2
this is a horrible app and it doesn't help at all! the point system is messed up and it always lags. it is a dumb app, don't get it!
★★★★ Skye Hunter 6/10/2026
holy waste of time. you can spend up to 3 hours on a singular ixl. I don't know why my school uses this stupid app, I don't even learn anything. when you get to 80 percent, you only go up 2 POINT, LIKE HOW DO THEY ACTUALLY EXPECT US TO LIKE THIS APP WHEN EVERY SECOND I HOPE THE CREATER AND THIS APP GO BANKRUPT AND GO POOR. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON THESE EXPLANATIONS. WHEN I WAS DOING A REALLY HARD LESSON, THE ONLY EXPLANATION WAS THAT THE ANSWER WAS THIS BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS THIS. 1 STAR
★★★★ Ethan Cho 6/9/2026
That ixl suck dont download it what you they just make every thing worse and more! ヽ(`Д´#)ノ
★★★★ Isabelle (Izzy) 6/9/2026
I was picking the answers in the app (Learning) and it said I got the answer wrong when I got it right.

As a 13 year old, this app just sucks. I recommend seeing the other 1 star reviews.
★★★★★ Abimbola Ogundola 6/19/2026 v8.2.2
I don't like how if I almost press something it gets to something else 🙄
★★★★★ Birdy King2555 6/7/2026 v8.2.2
having a app you need to sign into without being able to create an account like what backwards logic is that???
★★★★★ Paris Earl 6/5/2026

★★★★★ Jane Szortyka 6/3/2026 v8.2.2
