1. [R1] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Needs more work: Videos sometimes do not play, app crashes frequently and lessons also very frequently have incorrect solutions and glitches requiring you to restart the lesson. Typing using the in-app keyboard is also very finnicky, creating and logging into accounts do not work well, and things taught in the videos aren't in the lessons after.
2. [R3] Khan Academy 3/5 · US This is not math: They said 12 equals 10
3. [R16] Khan Academy 1/5 · US ABSOLUTE HORIBLE: IT DOESNT LET U RESTART, EXPLANATIONS AND PROBLEM ARE UNCLEAR, AND APP DOESNT SUPPORT ANYTHING INCLUDING. TYPING EXPONENTS ON THE KEYBOARD THE CONTROL CENTER IS TRASH AND THE FEEDBACK AND ACCOUNT SETTINGS DONT EVEN MAKE SENSE
4. [R39] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Worst app I have ever used: Whatever you do don't get this app it does not teach you anything accept for crashing out 🤬🤬🤬🤬
5. [R6] Khan Academy 3/5 · US keybord ragebait: the keyboard is absolute ragebait it thinks 2 = 1 and 7 = 9 the keyboard is the most annoying form of ragebait Hope to see more content too My parents make me do this a million times a day and learning is not fun and you cannot learn anything Unpurposeful app = this Ragebait app = this Uidfciugreifugiuefrgiufre
6. [R27] Khan Academy 1/5 · US So bad: Makes my kids cry. Every time they click it does the wrong number don’t add
7. [R9] Khan Academy 3/5 · US Khan academy: It was OK but it never showed me where I left off in the unit so I ended up retaking a whole unit over again!!
8. [R10] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Fix this!: I had an account for a couple months and I made 5 accounts because of this problem!when I'm signing in my account it's saying "you password or username is incorrect" even though i know it is! Looks like I have to make another 2 accounts.
9. [R13] Khan Academy 2/5 · US Khan academy deleted all of my progress: So I just came back to do khan academy and I see a screen telling me to sign up even though I was at the end of 4th grade. Khan academy should see what happened. Now all of my progress is gone and I was on my last unit in 4th grade
10. [R25] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Stupid change does not allow anyone to continue access: The irrelevant confirmation has no appropriate choices, and disrupted the continued education. It’s quite frustrating and stupid change
11. [R15] Khan Academy 3/5 · GB We need this pls 😭: This app is goated, we just need y’all to put the courses in the app, it’s hard to find the chrome tab with the course when it’s surrounded by a million others
12. [R17] Khan Academy 4/5 · US Good but one thing for mobile users: This app is very useful and helpful, but there is something you should know. If you are on an ipad or a phone, beware that the answers won’t fully show up. If your on a computer than your totally good to keep on learning.
13. [R18] Khan Academy 3/5 · GB Ok until subject: I love khan academy, and it’s great until you need a specific subject then… not that great. For me I was trying to get khan academy to explain something for my homework, but I just couldn’t find the exact thing I needed. So it’s great and all if you don’t need a specific subject question and are fine with just following their ways.
14. [R7] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Boo: Too much learning
15. [R19] Khan Academy 1/5 · US The worst app ever….: I hate doing math you can not learn anything
16. [R22] Khan Academy 4/5 · US Let’s talk: It’s good and educational but can you add some play or something and also can you make the lessons more fun cus they get boring on the third lesson so can you please add a bit of play and fun and can you make the videos better and fun please but out of everything it’s pretty great
17. [R23] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Worst app ever!: I hate khan academy!!!!!!!!!its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg! Absolutely hate it and it doesn’t help with anything at all
18. [R52] Duolingo 5/5 · US Would definitely recommend!!: I knew like no Spanish before this and after 3 days I’ve learned so much! This app is great! I would totally recommend for anyone interested in learning! And I even wanted to do more after my first lesson then found out I could only do a certain amount. You can even make it to where you can’t go on any other apps until you do your Duo lesson for the day do you don’t f
19. [R58] Duolingo 5/5 · US I love it: It helps me learn a lot, try Duolingo · translated
20. [R61] Duolingo 4/5 · US I love learning Spanish: This app teaches me a lot of Spanish. Thanks to it, I’m going to be great at Spanish in Middle school
21. [R64] Duolingo 5/5 · US Its great: It’s great if you don’t now a language
22. [R66] Quizlet 5/5 · US CCMA-RN: I have used Quizlet for years. I love the ease of studying on the go no matter where I am.
23. [R70] Quizlet 3/5 · US Okay - could be less clunky: I like the app generally, and have found it useful . I like how the free responsequizzes do not need to be exactly worded to match the original answer, it has some sort of AI to see if they’re close. However, editing sets is clunky. If there’s a card I want to edit in a large set, I can’t just hold down on the card while it’s on my screen- I need to go to “Edit Set” wh
24. [R72] Quizlet 5/5 · US Love it !!!: My literal go to study app every time.
25. [R75] Quizlet 5/5 · US Quizlet the GOAT: Ten years strong Quizlet has never let me down. They remain accessible for students with minimal resources and never fail to provide much needed help. Absolute best network for students to help each other. Thank you Quizlet! Couldn’t do it without you! I’ll always love you. 🫶
26. [R86] Elevate 5/5 · US Great for my mind: This app helps me think faster. It challenges me. I love it.
27. [R89] Elevate 5/5 · US Daily Habit: Love this app since it only takes me a few minutes. Bummed when I miss a day
28. [R92] Elevate 5/5 · US Fun: Good fun educational games
29. [R79] Elevate 1/5 · US Not free like the ads claim: Yeah, it's free to download but you can't do anything unless you pay. You can play about five minutes worth of games and everything else is behind a pay wall. I only downloaded this app because the ad said that it was completely free. False advertising! Too bad because it did seem like it could have potential.
30. [R94] Vocabulary 5/5 · US Help a lot: I’m tryna improve charisma so this helps
31. [R97] Vocabulary 5/5 · US Volcab: Easy to learn new words and free website
32. [R100] Vocabulary 5/5 · US AMAZING 🤩🤩🤩: learned so many words and won my spelling bee
33. [R103] Vocabulary 5/5 · US Genuinely a good app: I wasn’t expecting it to be a good app when I saw that it had in app purchases, but it actually doesn’t restrict you from doing much, the free features are still great quality and it’s fun to use, widgets are cool too.
34. [R111] IXL 5/5 · US Why do love ixl app: I really like ixl because it’s fun to learn and have fun and you can play games with it the whole time you play, learn,have fun with it
35. [R116] IXL 5/5 · US Amazing: This is the best app for my kid I ever found.👍
36. [R118] IXL 5/5 · US Learn: Makes you learn a lot
37. [R8] Khan Academy 5/5 · US Khan Academy is better than IXL: This is way better than Ixl because Ixl smartscore system is making me very angry. I rather not recommend to use Ixl ever again. Ixl, this is all your fault, khan academy wins forever.
38. [R35] Khan Academy 1/5 · US Good but sometimes make me angry: The app is good but as being a fast typer, when type something fast it misunderstand. That really the only thing but also this is a request do not have to do it but can you make it movie-themed? It will help younger kids learn in a fun way
39. [R54] Duolingo 1/5 · US This app is terrible: Just get a teacher for the language you want to learn! This app teaches you absolutely nothing I’ve been doing it for 9 months every night and it has taught me hardly anything I’ve been learning Japanese and it’s taught me like 14 words and it constantly asks you to buy a subscription and I haven’t done that because I don’t want to pay them! Plus this app is AI Slop literally
40. [R57] Duolingo 1/5 · US Duolingo is not it.: Dualingo is not that bad at teaching I’ll give them that, but the things is they don’t teach you regular everyday terms and words. They teach you the most random things ever. I tried to learn mandarin on Duolingo and they taught me how to say “I love porridge,” “my friend is American,” and “ do you like music” before they told me how to say hello, goodbye, thank you, or your w
41. [R67] Quizlet 3/5 · US Pay to use: This app used to be mostly free but to even finish learning a card set you have to pay for it. I get you want to make more money but to not even let someone finish a set is shameful. As someone who’s used Quizlet for over 6 years, the paying for EVERYTHING is ridiculous.
42. [R78] Quizlet 5/5 · US 5 star app: The paid subscription is soooo useful
43. [R81] Elevate 3/5 · US Fine: Stop asking me to share my goals with others. It’s soooo annoying because it’s after everything. I paid $40 and I kinda regret it.
44. [R91] Elevate 1/5 · US Subscription: Still tried to take out 39.99 after I canceled the free trial way before the 7 days was up.
45. [R93] Vocabulary 1/5 · US They don’t really care, as long as they get your money.: A fine app but unfortunately I don’t believe that the premium version is worth $50 a year. (Maybe it is to someone, but not me). The developer’s FAQ site that’s linked in the App Store isn’t helpful to me as it doesn’t have any email contact information. So I’m leaving a review here. I’d like to cancel my subscription (I thought I had alread
46. [R98] Vocabulary 3/5 · US Practically Requiring Pay: The application’s most basic functions are granted freely; however any more advanced functions, such as games or learning tools, are hidden behind paywalls. I would say that the concept is lovely but paying 60 bucks for it is probably not worth it. The basic functions of the app are pleasing, though.
47. [R102] Vocabulary 1/5 · US $60 subscription: I did not intend to subscribe to the premium subscription but it still charged me with no warning on the third day. No refund. Not worth $60.
48. [R106] Vocabulary 5/5 · US vocabulary: i love leaning new words but I don’t like how you need to pay $60 to get all of the extra stuff I would prefer to have a longer free trial and or to pay less
49. [R110] IXL 1/5 · US What is this hecking delusional app bro: Me and my cousin use this crusty dusty rusty moldy mistake to learn. Unfortunately when we use this app and when we get a question wrong why does it send us back 10 points down like bro I’m trying to learn and you don’t give HUMANITY mercy.In my cousins words “ literally this one boy in my class started crying because of the MISTAKE he made on a question “
50. [R112] IXL 3/5 · US things that NEED to be changed: this app is ok. it’s good for learning, but why the heck do you drop lower when you get something wrong? that discourages students like me. it takes longer to finish the ixl. JUST KEEP THE STUDENT IN THE SAME SPOT DONT MOVE THEM DOWN!!!!
51. [R114] IXL 4/5 · US Good but not perfect: You see it’s pretty good how it teaches people languages,math,reading and more but I don’t like how it like makes your progress bar go down and I’ve realized that the more progress you get the more the thing that fills the bar goes down, but at least it’s better than abc mouse and lingo kids and in some ads like abc mouse copy lingo kids ads CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!?
