1. [R1] IXL 2/5 · US It’s ok but…….: Ixl is a really good learning app don’t get me wrong and it’s really helpful except some of the answers can be really frustrating even when your in a young grade plus when your at 99% and you get it wrong you go all the way back to 83% and it can be really frustrating I remember when I was younger and I was on a role and I got the answer right but I apparently put it the wrong way
2. [R4] IXL 1/5 · US Caused me anxiety and bursts of anger.: I am going into 9th grade and have the amazing relief of not having to do IXL anymore. I have been in the same school district since kindergarten, and every year I have done IXL, specifically in math. I have hated it since i was young and have always had crash outs. This past school year specifically (8th grade) It was mainly my math teacher who assigned ixl
3. [R6] IXL 3/5 · US Takes away too many points: I’ve been studying with my dad every day. I like this app. i’ve been learning a lot, but the thing that I don’t like is that it takes a way too many points. Sometimes it takes away 5,10 or even 15 please fix this and I agree in AaronYol it is NOT FUN thanks for the app. That’s a learning education. But please make it less more points If you do it wrong, like at least do
4. [R7] IXL 1/5 · US IXL sucks: I am in fifth grade and my teachers since second grade have forced me to use IXL and I remember I’ve been at home and done it and I’ve cried a lot. I hate IXL set me free.
5. [R3] IXL 3/5 · US Glitching Problems: This is good for learning, but sometimes when I go to this app and I do sixth grade math the thing latterly glitches and thinks I’m wrong. But, it’s still a good App for math. Honestly I think it’s just me.
6. [R25] IXL 1/5 · US Cam: IXL sucks the problems change way too much and I am tired of it and fixing bugs y’all do.😡😡😡
7. [R34] IXL 1/5 · US I HATE THIS APP: I hate this app because it takes forever to do stuff and it doesn’t really help me learn like at all wrong answers are right answers and right answers are wrong answers by the way I am a student
8. [R39] IXL 3/5 · GB Not as good as before..: IXL is a great app for learning stuff - don’t get me wrong. BUT, now I cannot access the learning bits (the roman numerals e.t.c). It shows the loading screen and I wait A LONG TIME JUST FOR IT TO NOT LOAD.
9. [R27] IXL 3/5 · GB It only has maths and English: I had a history test but I thought this might help cuz it’s a learning app but when I tried it doesn’t have it and it’s soo expensive like guests don’t get much to learn and it says it has Spanish resources but try searching it up and they say they can’t find what we’re looking for so it u want math and English only download it but other than that don’t . :(
10. [R33] IXL 3/5 · GB So annoying doesn’t teach anything apart from math: I am on my last straw with IXL. It always brings me back when I get it wrong and is so frustrating when it does happen. I learn nothing only in the math videos and I really wish it had videos for English and science. But no. I don’t recommend this if you want to learn something. Never using this again. Also, doesn’t even encourage or take you ste
11. [R36] IXL 3/5 · GB Only 3 subjects: Need more subjects only maths and English and science 😤😤😤😭😭😭😞🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️😞😞😞
12. [R24] IXL 3/5 · GB Good but Not impressed: This is a good app but I don’t wanna pay cuz I’m looking forward to studying for Sats but it pays to go allll the way! I understand that this is how you guys make money but just not the money for me as I can use different apps for free ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ I hope you understand 😉˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

17. [R61] Duolingo 5/5 · US Duolingo is great but it’s my fear!: Okay so Duolingo is so fun and entertaining but people are saying that they record your voice and that when you try to delete the app it says you can’t hide from duo and it’s my absolute worst nightmare but a great game! Helps me understand Spanish a lot! Would still recommend got over my fear from this cute little guy!
18. [R66] Elevate 5/5 · US Becomes a Necessity: As a retired speech pathologist and cognitive rehabilitation specialist, I have found Elevate to be an excellent resource for maintaining and improving cognitive functions. My mathematics skills, especially, are now better than ever now, which is stunning to me. I highly recommend Elevate for everyone, and feel it’s a necessity as we age. Many thanks to the developers! 🙏🏼
19. [R69] Elevate 5/5 · US Brain Games = Brain gains: Love this app. The variety of puzzles, challenges and tools make this a go-to for daily commutes, sitting in traffic or before-bed relaxation
20. [R70] Elevate 3/5 · US Fun & Educational: increasingly aware of my speech, and writings. I prefer to correct in my written expressions and to think before speaking. Thanks for encouraging me to use daily. The brain is a muscle that will atrophy if not exercised multiple times daily ! Besides iron sharpens iron , I want an iron clad brain !! 😎
21. [R72] Elevate 5/5 · US Worth the money.: Love the way it automatically adjusts to make the takes more or less challenging the next time I play. Means I’m always getting challenged without things becoming frustrating. I didn’t even realize some of my mental math skills were getting rusty until I started using elevate. Now, I can see my improvement overtime.

24. [R84] Prodigy Math Game 3/5 · US Fun… but not.: This game has helped me focus on math a lot, but here are the issues. There are 3 ranks of memberships with different prices, which are expensive. If you don’t have any of the memberships, you get to have boring pets and a weaker team. This is really frustrating to me. The other thing having to do with this is that this is a kids game. This is a kids game, targeted towards kids,
25. [R86] Prodigy Math Game 5/5 · US Teach tec: I love this in the classroom. It’s fun to do tournaments all Friday long win win situations

28. [R101] Khan Academy Kids 5/5 · US outstanding and free!: In 2022 we looked for a free app when our son was traveling cross-atlantic for the first time. He was then just 18 months old, and it was the first ‘thing’ to teach him a word that was not me! Now at 5 3/4 we still use it and love it, so educational and fun, and learned it goes all the way through AP! App of the year is a truly well deserved accolade, well done!

32. [R114] 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.
33. [R116] Khan Academy 5/5 · US Good app: My son is getting ready for fourth grade and he has learned so much on khan academy what he learns on this app will surely help him later
34. [R51] Duolingo 1/5 · US Too many ads not enough learning: After every lesson there is an ad and the whole battery thing makes no sense. Why is there a limit to learning?
35. [R56] Duolingo 3/5 · US Ok: It not bad but i want to learn so i can be smart but i have to buy super Duolingo and my parents said I can’t buy it 😒
36. [R57] Duolingo 1/5 · US Ads: Too many ads now · translated
37. [R11] IXL 5/5 · US Kerri-Ann will talking about IXL: IXL is really fun. It helps other people learn it even helps me learn it’s the best learning app ever and I want everyone to try it cause it’s good. It could help people if they’re struggling in math Spanish and stuff reading language arts but all you need is IXL learn everything over and over again and then you can make some progress. This is why you want to try
38. [R23] IXL 5/5 · US IXL is a must-get.: Amazing for doing a wide variety of stuff. From Math to Science to Social Studies to English. If you are getting this for your kid, with parental experience, IXL will not be a waste of your money.
39. [R105] Khan Academy Kids 5/5 · US The Best!: This is the best app for preschool learning! My 3 year old granddaughter enjoys the interactive activities and the story reading. It’s a calming app for her, it’s free, there is always something new, and, best of all, there are no ads
40. [R106] Khan Academy Kids 5/5 · US The best kids app ever made: My daughter absolutely loves it and can spend hours learning in it without getting bored. It’s been a lifesaver during long road trips and flights, when there isn’t much else for kids to do. I also love that she’s learning instead of just watching cartoons or playing random games on a tablet. And the fact that it’s completely free, with no ads or subscriptions, makes i
41. [R65] Elevate 1/5 · US Payment: If it’s to help with cognitive function and it’s for helping with disorders, why isn’t it free
42. [R67] Elevate 3/5 · US Ads: Ads ads ads
43. [R68] Elevate 1/5 · US overpriced: overpriced for some learning app 😅 took $40 from me
44. [R71] Elevate 1/5 · US Royal Match ruins it: I enjoy Elevate, and I am ok with ads. It is actually a really good app. Unfortunately, Royal Match ads ruin it. They don’t seem to have an end. I even added that app to see if it would help. Please at least make those ads end in a reasonable amount of time.
