IXL Learning

Honestly this is the best thing we have bought for my daughter's maths this year. We got the family plan and she uses it after school most days without me nagging. The questions get harder as she improves, which keeps her interested, and the reports show her progress nicely. Sign up was quick and the price is fine for what you get.

Got the family plan for my son's maths. It works ok, he likes the games bit and the questions adjust to him. Sometimes the app freezes on his tablet though and you have to log back in, which is annoying when he's mid question. Price is fair enough for what it is.

Tried the free maths sites first and they were a mess of ads and random games. This one is way more organised and the questions actually match what my kid is doing at school. Set it up on my phone in a couple of minutes and it has been running smoothly since, so no complaints.

I teach maths at secondary level so I know the content is sound. The main gripe is the renewal reminders, which arrive far too often and nearly make me miss the actual renewal. Signing up took under five minutes, and the question bank is decent for practice.

What struck me most was how the progress tracking breaks each topic down by skill. I compared a couple of tutoring apps and a tutor before choosing, and this gave far more detail for the price. Signing up took no time and my son has been working through it steadily.

It is good value if you use it regularly, which we do. The annual plan works out cheaper than paying monthly and we have had no problems with the lessons or the reports. The only small thing is the renewal reminder, which came a bit late.

My sister asked me to find something to help my nephew with his spelling over the summer. Signing up was quick and he has been on it most days. The only niggle is that some of the questions repeat a bit once you have done a lot of them.

Compared with paying a tutor by the hour this is far cheaper and my daughter can do it at her own pace. The practice questions are well made and the reports show progress clearly. We have used it steadily since the spring with no problems.

I compared it with the printed workbooks we had been buying and this works out far more practical. My grandson gets instant feedback rather than waiting for someone to mark his work. The subscription was easy to set up and it has been running without any trouble.

My sister was struggling with her spelling for her course and needed something to practise with fast. I'd never used this before so wasn't sure what to expect. It was simple to set up and she's been using it for a few weeks now, though the page took a bit longer to load on my phone than I'd like.

I needed something to help my daughter catch up on reading after she missed a lot of school last year. Signing up was simple and she started the same afternoon. She has been using it every day and her teacher has already commented on her progress.

It's a good service and it has done what we needed it to do for my son's maths this term. We signed up in the autumn and the lessons are clear, the explanations are sensible and he gets through the practice questions without too much moaning, which for a teenager is saying something. The price is fair for what you get and I'd happily keep paying for it next year.

I needed something for my daughter's maths after she fell behind during the lockdown years and I didn't have time to sit with her every evening. Signing up was quick and the first test showed where she was going wrong, which I didn't expect. She does a bit each night on the app while I'm making dinner and she's stopped fighting me about it. Bit pricey compared with some of the others but it works.

What I noticed first is that the questions step up gently, so my granddaughter never sits there bored or stuck. She has been using it since September and her confidence has really grown.

We have been subscribers for a good few years and the renewal was the main problem this time. The price went up without much warning and when I tried to change the plan it took several days and two emails before anyone replied. The lessons themselves are still good, but I was disappointed with how the renewal was handled.

I would say it is very good value for what you get. I signed up for the online maths practice for my grandson back in the spring and the sign up was straightforward, he now works through the questions most evenings and his teacher has noticed the difference in his confidence. The reports they send are clear and easy to follow, which I did not expect.

Compared it to the free maths sites my kids used before and this is a lot more structured. Booked it on my phone in about five minutes and the questions match what they do at school. Not having to hunt for worksheets is a big win for me.

I started with the diagnostic test, which gave a sensible starting point for my son's year level. The questions are well pitched and the explanations after each wrong answer are useful rather than just showing the right answer. I have been a tutor for years and this is one of the better practice platforms I have used.
