### 1/5 — Some Word Pairs Have the Same Recording

*2025-12-15*

Some examples: view/few, gate/date, thuds/thugs. No matter which one I choose I always get it wrong. Please fix this.

### 3/5 — Stop that noise!

*2025-04-23*

What on earth is that incredibly annoying sound after choosing a correct answer? It is a horrendous sound in my hearing aid and my CI and has honestly messed with my head after doing only five exercises. Please change it immediately. I’m certain you could have a sound that is much easier on the senses. This is NOT it. Have a lower frequency, quieter sound, please.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-01-14*

Can’t login, can’t sign up can’t use. I would expect more AB. WordUNSuccessful!

### 1/5 — Not friendly

*2024-11-04*

WordSuccess needs accessibility tools for individuals who are deafblind, low vision, or visually impaired with cochlear implants.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Your feedback has been forwarded to the Product team. If you have further questions or need support, you may email ABSuccess@advancedbionics.com.

### 4/5 — Need sentence options

*2024-07-22*

Part of the needed rehab for implant recipients is the ability to understand full sentences.  It would be great to see that added to this app

### 1/5 — Tried restarting and it freezes

*2024-06-01*

I hope that someone reaches out to fix this for AB users

### 3/5 — Good for USA

*2023-11-19*

The content is good and the different modules are fine. All great so long as you get the American accent. Some word pronunciations are weird for non-US folk. Most of my incorrect choices are due to differences in how we pronounce words. You say 2mateO I say 2martO…. 
Would be good to have an alternative accent (British, Australian).

### 5/5 — Password

*2022-04-26*

What are password requirements. Im having trouble signing in

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for the password trouble. You can use an existing AB portal account to log into WordSuccess, or you can use the registration proces at the link below, as it is a bit easier to follow.

### 3/5 — Not Working

*2021-08-25*

As others have mentioned, it stops working all of the sudden in the middle of a session. When there’s no issues, it’s great!

### 4/5 — Great tool BUT

*2021-07-07*

Love this app. The option to expand the trials doesn’t work on ios. Also freezes up in middle of test. Please fix and update app. Has the potential to be a great learning tool.
