The website and app were frequently described as poorly designed, confusing, and not interactive, leading to further difficulties.

Sparx science isnt bad nor good imo

This seems way too generous, but when you compare this app yo the abomination of sparx reader and maths then you will see why, although sparx science isnt good, it isnt the worst however tassomai better

Utter torture!

Terrible, just terrible; please quit the education industry, because how it’s going is torture, this is a failure of an educational site. I’d rather watch paint dry.

very very shit actually

very very shit actually. I literally type in an answer almost identical to the one that is labelled at ''correct'' and it still tells me i'm wrong. such a waste of time. is the sparx company allergic to making decent learning apps?? Honestly, me giving it a 1 star is awfully generous. Id rate it a 0 if i could. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS.
honestly just a free migraine

come on fellas

OK fellas, let me get this straight we have over 400 reviews on this thing and we have a kid glazing this. Am I right? Or am I right? You lot have difficulties with this web, well let me tell you lot a story. Once upon a time, when Sparx Reader had just come out, my school absolutely loved this thing. You wanna know why? Well so they could give us more homework. So we all went on strike, like tube drivers in London and we told the teachers we wouldn't do it. I mean come on guys, you expect us to do this, i don't think so. My school then said a straight no to Sparx science as they knew we wouldn't do it. I mean we still have to do Sparx Maths. I have no idea what is wrong with that thing but we got 3 of our maths teachers to do a question, none of them got that question right, we even checked it with co-pilot and chat-gpt. also what on earth are these videos, come on guys they don't help, they make you more confused, they have nothing to do with the subject and you can't even understand them.

Mid app

An ok app, better than something like sparx maths however, it lets itself down. Also, it's sparx so like it's mid.

If you rate this any more than 1 star

If you rate this any more than 1 star, you are severely hurt in the head. This site is AWFUL. I will not waste my time going into detail about the many flaws but just know, you're lucky teachers are brainwashed to believe THIS is good sparx.

This Website is a joke

This Website is a joke, It's so buggy.
If you get something wrong over twice you will be forced to do a 3-6 step question just so you can pass that one question, homework its-self is already time consuming but a homework that is this slow is even worse. Whether your slow with science or fast this will consume your time so much as its made in a way to be SUPER slow paced.

Worst website ever!!!

This website is the worst homework website I have ever seen in my life. It's why I hate maths and especially science. I can't believe that this website hasn't been abolished from the history of this earth. The owners are trying to rage bait us 🤬

Sparx Maths is horrible

Sparx Maths is horrible. And I am not writing it because I am a student (i acc love maths) but because the answers that I write (or other students write) are correct and the website just doesn't mark them right!

Sparx is useless!

This needs to stop being used for homework in all schools! The videos are explained awfully, I would go as far as saying that I basically can't understand a word they say at times. Additionally, It occasionally asks to give an answer for your 'bookwork', creating even more stress! Why do you want me to give an answer of when I answered a question? Sparx maths does NOT help with education, it in fact, affects it, causing stress, Detentions due to poorly made videos and more. Get a grip sparx. No one, not one person has given you a good review, and im not surprised...

This app is very bad

This app is very bad. I'm forced to use it for school and all it ever done was worsen my growing depression. The questions repeat and most of the times it marks your answers as wrong even though they are correct. I seriously don't know how someone can make something this bad. Even the devil cries over this app.

I opened Sparx thinking “oh yea I’m in year 11 now it will be good weekly sparks for revision I can be done with it very quickly” did not expect to fight for my will to live like I’m tied to a pedophiles stained bed frame while a part of the human centipede. it’s a survival game where the boss battle is loosing your shit when your big fingers press a button wrong and it forcefully makes you do its 6 step useless “learning” process which takes forever when I know the bloody answer.

What devil made this

Now what we need to think about is what sick twisted man thought of this nightmare and worst of all made it come true. Now this Sparx is like hell formed into one website where it wastes an hour of your life each week teaching you nothing
