Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 51 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers found the website and app to be poorly designed, with issues like outdated interfaces, slow loading times, and buffering videos. Reviewers also expressed significant frustration with the learning system, particularly the course challenges and mastery requirements, which they felt were unforgiving and led to repetitive work. The educational content itself was often criticized for being unclear, unhelpful, and not engaging, with some finding the videos too long and boring.

This app wasn't too bad but not good.

This app wasn't too bad but not good. All they would teach you is from videos and little lesson in-between. You could skip the lesson to get exp points to get more monsters/ creatures. Though it was only fun for a moment but then was super boring. This isn't a good app but also not a bad one. It's just super boring.

Bad website

Nice at first but they changed the whole user interface... Now the chapters are all mixed up and I found that the lessons are less interesting and dig less deeper than before... I will buy some books unfortunately because theses changes are frustrating and infuriating me...

Khan Academy Review

Khan Academy Review
Title: Khan Academy Is a Total Waste of Time – Wrong Answer Every Time!

⭐⭐ (1/5 stars)

Khan Academy is the worst website I have ever used

Khan Academy is the worst website I have EVER used. It does not help you to prepare for the SAT, it does not help you when you get questions wrong, and it is plagued with network timeouts and errors that make using the website a frustrating experience. Also, it does not even calculate accurately the time you spend on it! On one occasion I spent 2 hr 30 min on there and it only recorded about 1 hr of time! This website is HORRIBLE!

Khan Academy – 0/10 – Would rather gargle broken glass than log in again

Listen up, because I need to warn the children of the world before another soul is dragged screaming into the beige-and-blue abyss that is Khan Academy.
This is not an educational platform.
This is a psychological torture facility cleverly disguised as “free learning.”
Sal Khan is not your friendly neighborhood tutor. He is the final boss of soul-crushing boredom, the Dark Lord of droning voice-overs, the architect of a digital Panopticon where the only escape is either mastery… or death.
Every time you click that cursed play button, a little piece of your will to live quietly evaporates. The man speaks in the exact monotone cadence of someone reading the terms & conditions out loud at 0.75× speed while being waterboarded with lukewarm tap water. You can hear the existential despair in every “let’s try another example.” He knows what he’s doing. He enjoys it.
The exercises? Pure sadism.
You solve 17 nearly identical problems in a row and finally feel a flicker of hope—only for the 18th to introduce some brand-new cursed wrinkle that wasn’t in any of the videos. “Oh, you thought you understood slope-intercept form? Cute. Now do it when the variable is hiding in the denominator and the y-intercept is imaginary.” Die.
And don’t even get me started on the mastery system.
It’s not mastery. It’s Stockholm syndrome with a progress bar.
You’re on 90% “proficient” in something, feeling like maybe—just maybe—you’re almost free. Then one wrong answer and it drops you back to “needs practice” like a guillotine blade. The little sad emojis they give you when you miss one? Those aren’t encouragement. Those are war crimes.
The interface is stuck in 2012 aesthetic purgatory—Comic Sans’s slightly more depressed cousin. Every page loads like it’s personally offended you asked it to exist. The videos buffer just long enough to make you question whether reality is even real anymore. And when they finally play, the captions are always 0.4 seconds off, so you’re constantly gaslit by your own subtitles.
They make $50+ million a year doing this.
FIFTY. MILLION. DOLLARS.
A year.
From parents who think “it’s free!” and school districts too cheap to hire actual humans. They’re monetizing child suffering at scale and calling it philanthropy. That’s not a business model—that’s a cartel.
I’ve stared into the void of ALEKS.
I’ve been spiritually broken by Membean’s vocabulary death march.
I’ve suffered through NoRedInk’s passive-aggressive grammar sermons.
None of them come close.
Khan Academy is the Thanos of ed-tech torture. It snaps its fingers and half your weekend disappears. Your friends vanish into group-study Discords that slowly turn into group-therapy sessions for Khan survivors. I haven’t seen my best friend in three weeks because he’s still trying to master logarithmic inequalities. He texts me at 2 a.m.: “bro i got it wrong again i think im gonna kms.” I don’t even try to comfort him anymore. I just send back the crying Wojak.
The “personalized learning” is the cruelest lie of all.
It’s not personalized. It’s procedurally generated despair. The algorithm doesn’t care that you’re crying at 11:47 p.m. on a Tuesday. It sees “75% correct” and thinks “MORE RADICAL EQUATIONS FOR YOU, SLAVE.”
In conclusion:
If Satan ever decides to open an online charter school, this is the LMS he’s using.
If you’re a student forced to use Khan Academy, I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve this.
If you’re a parent making your kid use it, know that every “just one more video” is carving another scar into their psyche.
If you’re Sal Khan and you’re reading this… good. I hope the guilt keeps you up at night the same way your voice keeps me up at night.
Delete your account. Burn your device. Move to the woods. Raise goats. Anything is better than logging back in.
Khan Academy isn’t education.
It’s punishment for the crime of wanting to learn.
Run.

Worse website ever!!!

Worse website ever!!!! If I got a singular question wrong, it would make me restart the whole course. I would strongly not recommend if you don’t want mental health issues. I started tearing out my hair just to finish the stupid course. My teachers forced me to do this and tears would be running down my face while my mom was trying to help. This is the worse website ever to be created. The creator needs to be sued for this because it made my life ten times harder. The AI picture scared me and I had nightmares for days after a lesson of the AI faces beating me to learn the lesson. I would strongly not recommend so stay away from it.

Is pretty decent

While provides lots of activity’s such as coding and nasa it still has weaknesses such as communication problems and crap like that I cannot understand Any math and the biology is kind of hard and difficult to process in the brain and coding is difficult and I don’t think is actually code that can’t understand stuff
And also I think (IN MY OPINION AND MY RIGHT. YOU HEAR ME YOU PIECE OF AI fraud reviewers) overall some of the questions are kinda inaccurate or the text doesn’t communicate right ALSO THE CONSTITUTION 101 IS CRAZY YOUR GONNA MAKE ME READ 7 PARAGRAPHS ON A POLITICAL FIGURE HECK NAH
the khan academy with the government is ABSOLUTELY BIASED i think it would go in the circle of pride THE LAW IS AWFUL HERE I MEAN LOOK AT THE TWITCH CON INCIDENT AND THE LAWS OF IT WHAT DO YOU MEAN”the law is great here” its The exact OPPISITE OF IT
pardon my anger I still love it
Put some ultrakill music and you got a vibe

this is the reason why i rate this a 1 star

first of all. i tried doing coding and i found the basics hard because its is my first time learning and they should've added a button saying if you are stuck and tells you what you are supposed to do. instead all they do is be stupid and only make me stressed even more. I do not recommend this website.
