Sparx Learning Reviews 1,401

Sparx is the worst homework app to exist. Ever. Absolute Torture for secondary school children who already are stressed enough with exams and lessons, along with long school days. there is no reward for XP. -You cant even customise your profile! You have to get every question right to "complete the homework" and its so stressful. You cant even go back and look at old questions to help you!!! The videos are always so unhelpful and all of the questions say *non calculator*. Each set of maths is supposed to take 30 mins but ill spend over 2 hours trying to understand (there is no help) as soon as you finally figure out a question after multiple tries, it changes to a different one before you can put in your answer, rather than giving you a choice for a new question. The bookwork checks are pointless. If I could change one thing about school it would be ban sparx. 5 stars for stupidity.

Sparx Reader makes you despise reading. You read a text, but of course it's so bad that it has to interrupt you every minute. It gives you about 5 different books to choose from, no matter what your preferences are (it 'lets' you choose them). It has absolutely ruined reading. Fortunately, Maths and Science aren't as bad but they do still have their flaws. If there are any teachers here, please tell everyone not to use Sparx.

this is genuinely terrible. i would genuinely LOVE written homework instead of this because i can get things WRONG. i dont have to get everything right at all.
i hate this oh my god.

Its just so bad and demotivates me

App is terrible, my school uses this app for maths. Now trust me, I’m in top set and I’m alright at maths, but this app is just pure ragebait. If u get one or 2 questions wrong, but then u realise what the right answer is it just give u a new one. WHY WOULD U DO THAT? And the videos are also as useless as the app. To whichever British school is gonna use this app, DONT. Your students will feel demotivated to learn maths through this

I hate this website. it's pathetic. literally forces me to answer every single question and won't even tell me why or how my answer is wrong. I don't understand why schools use this and say its good when its clearly not.

This is a tedious app as you have to write down all the book work check points which are so annoying like what is you don't have any where to write it at the time or where you are and our school makes us write it in the back of our books but it just wastes space so we cant use it in class. Also the videos are no help at all they just explain a completely different question and teaches it differently from how we were taught at school so school tells us off if we use the wrong method and some of the questions are so hard even google can't do them, I would give it 1 star however I do like the times tables games that they have especially sticker collector; I love collecting all of the cats. Overall though I would not recommend to anyone unless they are a nerd for maths.

It forces you to complete the homework 100%, gives you videos with the WRONG explanation on how to do the questions and overall is just poor quality. Not rewarding either, no customisation of profile, and on top of it all, using this website will make you want to gouge your eyeballs out and start juggling them like a circus clown. On multiple occasions I have started hitting everything is sight and biting my screen and notebook out of pure frustration and rage. Delete this website/app please because they obviously have no plans to make it better.

absolutely horrible, i failed a question 3 times and just sat there staring at the screen for 2 hours doing and thinking nothing, i lost all of the time i prepared for computer science revision, i hate this, i cant do it, if i try i just start to slow down until i can bareky move for 2 hours, the one hour a week is a lie, the 1 hour and 10 minutes i spent was wasted on about 20-30% completion, I am not doing bad in my maths, not the best but definetly top 10 in my school, i loved it but thats gone, its gone, i dont want to do this anymore.

Do you know the meaning of sparx? Exactly, this website is a child slavery system made to torture little kids like other people. One of my friends has autism and after spending 1 hour on his homework you would think he would be finished but no, he only had done 67% of his homework and absolutely demoed his chromebook until it was on its last legs begging for help but then he did a flying spin-kick, finishing off the chromebook for good and I came over to his house to see the after math and saw a scrumpcious site. The next day he was met with a detention.

I would give Sparx Maths zero stars if I could, but apparently even my rating has to follow strict rules. Great start.

This isn’t maths practice it’s a never-ending punishment loop. You get ONE question wrong and suddenly you’re stuck doing the same type of question over and over like you’ve been sentenced. I’m not learning anything, I’m just slowly losing the will to exist fjdkslajf

And the XP system is actually ridiculous. “Oh, you made a tiny mistake? Cool, now redo half the task to earn back what we just took.” Nothing says motivation like watching your progress vanish for no reason akshdks

There’s no fun, no personality — just a cold system forcing you to repeat questions until you either get it right or mentally check out. It feels less like learning and more like arguing with a calculator that hates you.

Sparx Maths doesn’t teach maths — it teaches frustration, repetition, and how long someone can sit there before completely giving up.

Avoid unless you enjoy seeing “incorrect” 500 times in a row.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let's shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready!
Coming!
Hang on a second.

Hey, Adam.
Hey, Barry.
Is that fuzz gel?
A little. Special day, graduation.
Never thought I'd make it.
Three days grade school, three days high school.
Those were awkward.
Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around The Hive.
You did come back different.
Hi, Barry. Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good.
Hear about Frankie?
Yeah.
You going to the funeral?
No, I'm not going.
Everybody knows, sting someone, you die.
Don't waste it on a squirrel.
Such a hothead.
I guess he could have just gotten out of the way.
I love this incorporating an amusement park into our day.
That's why we don't need vacations.
Boy, quite a bit of pomp under the circumstances.
Well, Adam, today we are men.
We are!
Bee-men.
Amen!
Hallelujah!

Catches that little strand of honey that hangs after you pour it.
Saves us millions.
Can anyone work on the Krelman?
Of course. Most bee jobs are small ones.
But bees know that every small job, if it's done well, means a lot.
But choose carefully because you'll stay in the job you pick for the rest of your life.
The same job the rest of your life? I didn't know that.
What's the difference?
You'll be happy to know that bees, as a species, haven't had one day off in 27 million years.
So you'll just work us to death?
We'll sure try.

One job forever?
That's an insane choice to have to make.
I'm relieved. Now we only have to make one decision in life.
But, Adam, how could they never have told us that?
Why would you question anything? We're bees.
We're the most perfectly functioning society on Earth.
You ever think maybe things work a little too well here?

I wonder where they were.
I don't know.

Outside The Hive, flying who knows where, doing who knows what.
You can't just decide to be a Pollen Jock. You have to be bred for that.
Right.
Look. That's more pollen than you and I will see in a lifetime.
It's just a status symbol.
Bees make too much of it.
Perhaps. Unless you're wearing it and the ladies see you wearing it.
Those ladies?
Aren't they our cousins too?
Distant. Distant.
Look at these two.
Couple of Hive Harrys.
Let's have fun with them.
It must be dangerous being a Pollen Jock.
Yeah. Once a bear pinned me against a mushroom!
He had a paw on my throat, and with the other, he was slapping me!
Oh, my!
I never thought I'd knock him out.

Hurts my head because of the amount of times I do one singular typo and it reads it as wrong. Don't even get me started on the book check thingys, whats the point of writing it down if we are going to forget what it was the next day. Absolutely abysmal.

I was molested by a sparx maths developer, after he decided stalk me for 2 days. However he did remind me to complete my sparx for Monday when it was 7:39 on a Sunday evening; thanks to him I completed my sparx maths on time, and furthermore decided not to go to the police, meeting him 2 times after! Sparx is great!

Horrible vile app. It forced you to learn perfection by shoving it down your throats while you silently scream because if you don’t do it you’ll land an hour. This website is the bane of my existence and I’m finally speaking. I’m currently going through a toxic relationship and it’s with the app. While teaching me maths I’m never going to use it also try’s to take away my love for life. It is the worst thing ever and it shouldn’t exist. Whoever created this app deserves the worst. I dread everyday I spend thinking off this abomination we call a “learning experience” they create “fun” games that are actually just misery in the form of candy. The only way you escape is by being a little prissy and doing it. I wouldn’t force my worst enemy to do this and I hate her. This app is demeaning forcing you to reach unidealistic goals while shoving maths in you every chance it gets. Never get this app and never join a school that uses this app. This app is a horrible life sucking one that should be shut down.

my family was taken by the russia mafia and i'm about to be sold into slavery i could call for rescue but I have sparx maths doe so i will sort it out later

sorry for bad grammer i only learn grammer on sparx reader

Bad, not good

Absolutely atrocious. I have been trying to improve my maths for ages but this doesn't help at all. All this site does is test your patience more than your maths, the bookwork codes are genuinely the most stupid thing on this site.

My plane crashed in the half term and I am trapped on a remote island with no hope of leaving, but since sparx is a remote way of doing homework I still completed it for monday, It gave me great joy watching the videos they provide, and I don't even want to leave, I can do sparx maths forever ! :)

The term sin originates from the Old English synn, tracing back to Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European roots meaning “being” or “truly guilty,” implying a judgment of wrongdoing. Over time, different religions and cultures developed distinct understandings of sin, often shaping moral frameworks and spiritual practices. Each culture has its own interpretation of what it means to commit a sin. While sins are generally considered actions, any thought, word, or act considered immoral, amoral, selfish, shameful, harmful, or alienating might be termed "sinful."

In Abrahamic religions, sin carries a stronger theological dimension. Christianity treats sin as an offense against God, rooted in disobedience, with doctrines like original sin and redemption through Christ’s sacrifice; concepts like the seven deadly sins classify vices leading to moral corruption. In mainstream Christianity, sin is a transgression against the will of God. Islam defines sin (khiṭʾ, ithm) as violating God’s commands, distinguishing between minor and grave sins. Judaism frames sin as “missing the mark” of God’s law, placing greater weight on wrongs against other people than against God, with atonement often requiring repentance and restitution.

According to Hinduism, pāpa (sin) is a transgression, or demerit, signifying deeds or intentions that transgress moral and spiritual laws, resulting in negative karma and tying a person to the cycle of rebirth (samsara). Hindu codes list various things that drive people to sin themselves. Hindu texts mention various categories of sins such as foremost sins (ati patakas), five greatest sins (maha patakas), secondary sins (upa patakas), and minor sins (prasangika patakas).

In Buddhism, sin as defiance against a deity does not exist; instead, actions naturally bring consequences through karma. While general “sin” refers to transgressions against universal moral law, five acts — harming a Buddha, killing an Arhat, creating schism in the Sangha, matricide, and patricide — are considered so severe that they bring immediate karmic repercussions. In contrast, Shinto views sin (tsumi) as impurity caused by external factors like evil spirits, not inherently by human actions, and emphasizes purification rituals (harae) to restore harmony.

Buddhism
Main article: Buddhist views on sin
There are a few differing Buddhist views on sin. American Zen author Brad Warner states that in Buddhism there is no concept of sin at all. The Buddha Dharma Education Association also expressly states "The idea of sin or original sin has no place in Buddhism."

Ethnologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf explained, "In Buddhist thinking the whole universe, men as well as gods, are subject to a reign of law. Every action, good or bad, has an inevitable and automatic effect in a long chain of causes, an effect that is independent of the will of any deity. Even though this may leave no room for the concept of 'sin' in the sense of an act of defiance against the authority of a personal god, Buddhists speak of 'sin' when referring to transgressions against the universal moral code."

However, there are five heinous crimes in Buddhism that bring immediate disaster through karmic process. These five crimes are collectively referred to as Anantarika-karma in Theravada Buddhism and pañcānantarya (Pāli) in the Mahayana Sutra Preached by the Buddha on the Total Extinction of the Dharma, The five crimes or sins are:

Injuring a Buddha
Killing an Arhat
Creating schism in the society of Sangha
Matricide
Patricide
