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... See more

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

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,... See more

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 g... See more

i hate it
you are not rewarding for being good it just makes you do more mundane, useless, lobotomising things that do not benefit you in any way. I dont understand why i had to switch from mymaths. I cannot be bothered doing 6 sections that go to H each on a sunday night, who can. BUt nooo the same question reworded HAS to eb done 42 times. From the deepest portion of my soul and entire being i fully hate sparx maths and detest it so much

Words can't describe how horrible Sparx…

Words can't describe how horrible Sparx maths is. It is genuinely the most horrible, stressful and completely useless homework website I've ever been forced to use. The videos aren't helpful at all and It's overall a waste of time, makes me cry every time I have to use this for homework. This is certainly not helping improve my maths despite being a year 10 student. I hope Sparx gets deleted soon.

Really good! 💚

Why are y’all hating on Sparx? It’s such a fun website! I love the bookwork checks in Sparx Maths, they definitely will help with workings in the future! Sparx Science is also great! I have earned 38,000xp and currently am in 1st in the school! Would recommend!

Help

The has caused me genuine depression (almost). It is tedious, tiresome and unhelpful, compulsory homework is horrible and not even related... There is constant reminders that you haven't finished, it has a horrible pressure system forcing you to finish everything. I hate it...

Sparx maths is just raigebait at this point

Sparx maths is just raigebait at this point. I literally have a mental breakdown every week bc of this stupid sparx. The videos show me a different method if I don’t get it and it’s just confusing. For an online app i don’t get why we then have bookwork checks -it just doesn’t make any sense. It’s just painful and annoying.

Oh man what can I really say abt sparx...

Oh man what can I really say abt sparxs. More than the entire world with agree the fact that this app is soooo discombobulated. This encourages children to NOT do maths ever in their lives. I'm legit losing brain cells looking for question 2d just so I can get good bookwork check. Like this is genuine ragebait. Like I've also seensomeone write a whole poem on how bad sparx is. Not only that, but sparx science can be just as unbearable, we're just lucky it doesn't have bookwork checks every 5 questions. Like sometimes I feel like that I should chuck a chair out the window. At this point I should BE the chair. Shut this app down just for the sake of humanity.

I hate sparx maths

Have used sparx maths for a few years now and it’s horrible . I hate maths because of it. not good at all , if you want depression and tears while trying to do homework then this is the perfect app. Hate it . When you get the right answer it says it’s wrong, got detention because of that , not happy.

I hate it more than AM hates humans

Hate, let’s me tell you how much I come to hate you, Spence I began to live. There are 387.44 million
miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word ‘hate’ were engraved on
each nano-angstrom of those hundreds of MILLIONS of miles, it would not equal one, one billionth
of the hate I feel for humans at this micro instant. For you, hate, HATE!

~AM from "I have no mouth and I must scream"

now imagine it's talking about sparx and not about humans, exactly what I feel towards it

This is a weapon designed and used for…

This is a weapon designed and used for the pure purpose of shattering our mental health and to make us question the common sense of humanity. Like at this point, I’m convinced their goal was to break the world record of stress levels but they just thought “ oh why don’t we dehumanise the future generation and inject pure hatred for maths into their bloodstream while we’re at it” Like I think I’d have a better time struggling to survive the bombs of WW2 while being sat in an electrocuting machine controlled by Donald trump as I’m falling into a black hole which which honestly teaches me more than sparx. Like this app is ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGES! Please please please PLEASE to the power of 9999999999999999 ban this app for the wellbeing of your future doctors, lawyers, bus drivers, teachers, builders, hairdressers, archaeologists, scientists and even mathematicians which are probably decreasing every moment that this treacherous torturing device is haunting us with its existence. Because this app is genuinely catastrophically atrocious

Sparx is sh!7

Sparx is actually so bad the website is lowkey chopped and the "fun" things aren't even fun it the worst thing ever and just actually ruins your day cause you have to get every question right and if you get it wrong then it lets your teacher know. There is no coming back from the death Sparx. The stupid video don't even help ong it's just time consuming and honestly a waste of time
