Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people found the user experience to be extremely negative, citing buggy and slow performance, and a general feeling of frustration. Customers also expressed significant dissatisfaction with the product itself, noting that it was time-consuming, unhelpful for learning, and often marked correct answers as wrong. The website and app were frequently described as poorly designed, confusing, and not interactive, leading to further difficulties. Some people were dissatisfied with the service, mentioning issues with explanations and the overall system being pointless. However, a few other people also felt that the tasks were built for mixed ability and that the independent learning section could be useful for revision.

actual shite.

I’m going to write this genuinely and not trying to get the reviews down.
Sparx is utter horseshit.
It is useless, there is various applications used that can just answer the questions for you and you can speed up the long working out. The bookmark checks dont do anything, they just check you are writing stuff down but like, I can just screenshot and THAts the question noted.
It’s genuinely harming my health at this point, I spend late nights trying to get all of it completed in time so I can avoid a detention, it’s shoddy website shuts every minute for me making myself stay up sometimes till one am on a school day ( I have to wake up at 6)
genuinely I think it should be replaced as it’s just disappointing and cack.

Honestly Sparx science isnt that bad…

Honestly Sparx science isnt that bad however sparx maths is horrible but right now I'm talking about sparx science its pretty good and if you get it incorrect it gives you a detailed description of what went wrong but sometimes the answer box doesn't recognise the answer as correct because some different words were used even if the key words were used

DO NOT USE SPARX

I dont even know where to start. This app does the complete opposite of helping kids but it instead makes them want to break the device. It marks the question wrong for any little detail. Get rid of this app immediately.

SPARX IS THE SKIBIDEE!!!!!!!!

SPARX IS THE SKIBIDEE!!!!!!!!
I love to learn and do homework. I do all my sigma science everyday before watching Jimmy Neutron to further improve my intelligence. As a very smart 3 year old, my only complaint is that the work is too easy. It takes me 2 minutes to do 4th degree level maths. SPARX PLEASE MAKE IT HARDER!!! If you then you get +1000000 aura. It is the best auramaxxing method. Please do it for ohio. The skibidee gods are proud if you. Also, make the homework WAY more frequent. I want to hear "Bartholomew, new sparx reader homework just dropped, you need to cop it now!" ten times a day, NOT five. PLEES! I would however, like to compliment you on how well you have done with sparxes. It is the best ever. I hope you are mewing to this sigma news, and have a great life. YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE! You really put the fries in the bag with this app. Keep it going. Can you also collab with my favourite game, Fortnite, so I can do maths and science while playing brainrot box fights. Tung tung sahurrrrrrrrrr!!!!! #posh#sparxisbest#nerdlife#nerdsontop#sparxno1#billnyethescienceguy#brainrot#sigmasparxs

I WOULDNT PUT THIS ON MY WORST ENEMIES

This is genuinely the worst part of my day, omds like we have to do this weekly!? no ty. I'm sorry but, this is so useless, like it's not even helping me revise if anything it's giving me less time to do it. Like, I'm at school for what 6-7 hours then I get home and have to do like what 3 more hours worth of home work (+other hw platforms ex educake or smt). I did 99% and I got 1 question mind u I still attempted it but I still got detention like WHAT. This is awful for children's mental health it give us stress and the feeling of being overworked if that's ur goal then this is great 👍. But if u actually care for children's mental health which heavily impacts our education then never EVER make a child do this.. And this can't even argue "oh this helps u trust us blah blah blah blah" did Albert Einstein do this 🤨 no.
Not only that the videos are useless like if a child is annoyed and wants to quickly get done their work do u really think they're gonna sit through a video abt how to solve a problem they never knew existed and there are lots of errors too tell me y I've asked 3 different ai's what the answer was and they all said the same thing but sparx says it's incorrect 💀 like bro get out and then they change the question and act like nothing ever happened.

Moral of the story sparx learning sucks and it's not good for children and it would've been used as a medieval torture device, I swear down.

Sparx is the worst.

Sparx is the worst. From videos that look like they got created by me to the easiest questions of all time. Whoever thought to create this stupid website is truly disabled.

Sparx Science

3 June 2025
You guys really should improve. I’m so shocked that schools decided to use this program instead of something like seneca. - it’s good that it gives you an option for not knowing the answer and walks you through it. (unlike sparx maths) However, a lot of the explanations are very confusing. The videos on both sparx maths and sparx science are useless for me, I’m not sure about others though. It is so incredibly unhelpful to me, a neurodivergent teenage boy, that my school sets us both sparx maths and sparx science compulsory homework every week, which we will get a detention if we don’t complete. I can’t even count the amount of times I have panicked, and sobbed over those feeble attempts at help. Not to mention, I’ve found multiple mistakes on sparx, which means the platforms aren’t even fully complete. They may be a good revision source for some people, but definitely not me. If you happen to be able to control whether students use sparx or not, and you’re reading this, please don’t make it compulsory for everyone.

Update - They are now using AI photos for the biology assignments which I believe is absolutely atrocious. There were pictures of two lemurs; the ring-tailed lemur and the aye-aye lemur. I believe this to be completely unnecessary and a horrible thing to do, because they could have easily gotten an actual non copyrighted and non AI picture from the internet, since AI in itself, especially generative image AI, is bad for the environment. What makes it even worse is that the task was to analyse the pictures and point out the features adapted to their environment. The ring tailed lemur had two tails, which completely put me off, and the aye aye lemur’s fingers were messed up and asymmetrical! The question focused on the fingers too, and so I think using AI images for these examples is a completely outrageous thing to do. Try harder, sparx science. Honestly.
