Just ONE problem, but it’s SUPER annoying
Oldersister17
I love TED. I really want to preface with that before I continue. I’m still going to use the app, because I love the concept of TED. Conversation, connection, knowledge, growth, all great things we need a lot more of. I usually watch them on my laptop, but I recently put it on my phone. One thing I hate, and it makes me scream curse words at this app, is the search section. I will literally put in the exact name of the TED talk I want to find, and it will tell me that there is nothing under that search. I have to go to my web browser, type in the TED talk name, and then open the link that takes me to that talk in the app. You guys are a multi billion dollar organization. Please fix your freaking search bar on your app.
Lax VoiceOver flexibility
DHazelton
There is far more participation to attempt to engage the listener however voiceover is still not flexible. I cannot search for old favorites that I know I had marked. I cannot turn off auto play and cannot easily search for newer content.
Great content; startlingly terrible app

How does one screw up a video app so badly? This one fails to register taps for minutes at a time, so that it becomes impossible to start and stop videos; if you let it go to full screen, the controls vanish entirely and won’t come back; the talk you wanted to pause drones on and on until you force quit the program. Or sometimes it will stop out of nowhere, having finally realized that you touched the screen two minutes earlier. Bizarre and nearly unusable.
Borderline Unusable on Older iPad Air
Jai Yen
I’ve been an avid watcher of TED for many years, shifting over to the app when it was released and very happy with it for years on my original iPad and later this iPad Air. That lasted until the last time I updated the app, which was some time ago and not recently. Things changed right away, barely working in some ways, but there was a lot of comment about it at the time and I believed that whatever the underlying causes were could be quickly identified and corrected, so I just waited for the update that would fix it. So far.....just crickets. The same app works great on my (much) newer iPhone, and running the site through browsers on the iPad works just fine too. On using the app, however, any or all of the following are routinely encountered: • failure to load at all, or might eventually if you can stand watching the little electron field thingy for 5+ minutes • no access to on screen controls at all or, if they work on the first talk watched, usually go away on the second one • often the only way to quit any talk and move on is to force quit the app and start over • often locked in to the “next recommended” loop and, again, the only way out is force quitting. • other times, first talk ends and the screen goes blank and dead; force quit is the only way out of that as well. And others, but you get the point by now. I have no memory or network speed issues at all and the software is updated to the max level it can be — this app and this machine just don’t play well together. I’d be happy to go back to the older app if that’s the only way to recover the convenience and functionality that I had back in the day, but getting a new iPad, which I’m confident would also do the trick, seems like a third-best idea
Peoblem with showing video

Seeking enlightenment

It wasn’t until I became open minded. that I began to learn. These videos are awesome. I’ve recently been going through marital problems. My hope is I can take this information and use it in a positive constructive way in hopes to change the outcome. Although I do struggle with excepting the fact that some people are unwilling or cannot or do not have the ability to be open minded. Through watching these videos I have learned that my approach or delivery to the problem could be why I am misunderstood. So for now I will just forward the videos with the link hope that they take the time to watch them.
Go to YouTube instead

I love Ted Talks, but honestly this might be one of the worst apps I’ve ever tried to use. It doesn’t even load the videos half the time and I’m not the biggest fan of the recommendations most of the time. You’d be better off just looking up the videos on YouTube if you want to listen to them.
Needs to fix
