The app was much better before- Why going BACKWARDS? -why there is feedback for download progress? -why I cannot anymore do "play all"? -why you dome downloads are not downloaded? I hope you can solve these simple common problems and greatly improve TED reaching many Poe-less but not failing because in 2018 we cannot make a fully functional app.
Still does not download properly

Even with the updated version I can’t get the videos to download successfully for off-line viewing. I have a dozen or so videos supposedly downloaded in my downloads section, but when I am in airplane mode I cannot watch those videos. There’s also no indication regarding the progress of the download. After you click on the download video button, it just shows up in your downloads section. But there’s no indication how much is downloaded. And there’s no way to refresh the download or restart it.
Please fix the download function

If you can let us play these videos offline after we “downloaded” them, this app would definitely would be a 5 Star one.
Apple TV needs a Liked tab

The Apple TV app needs an easy way to access your Liked videos. Right now, there’s no way.
Love the TED app!!

Should be required for many...it opens you up to a world that’s already occurring, but you probably have no idea. “Amazeballs!”
Still broken and needs more work

Apple devices is not the place to have a crappy user experience. - UX / UI: Mark after a video “watched” after it has been played so that I know which videos I’ve seen. Grey or mask the thumbnail in search results like YouTube does for previously viewed videos. - UX: Persistence. Keep my place if I watch part of a video and return to finish on *ANY* device. If I start a video and then watch another video it doesn’t keep the place of either video. #Awful. - UX: Continuity. I often start to watch a video on my iPad and switch to my iPhone. Same for a web browser on a macOS. The last spot needs to be retained like it is on Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and dozens of others. - UX: Bug. Picture in picture doesn’t *resize* to full screen when you use the 4 finger gestures to swipe back to TED from another app. You have a black screen with TED running in the corner. UX: Bug. Downloaded video wouldn’t play from iPad to Apple TV until I deleted the local download. UX: Bug. Captions turn off randomly. Captions needed to be turned back on multiple times while I was using AirPlay to play from iPad to Apple TV. These are basic video player items from 10 years ago. Either invest in a quality native iOS app experience or save your money and force everyone to use the website if you’re going to have a substandard user experience. #Fail #Bugs #ShowUpOrGiveUp #Shameful
Please fix downloads

Falsely indicates downloaded when video isn’t. Doesn’t play when offline. Confusing and frustrating.
What Happened?

It had been several years since I had checked on TED and I could not believe the transition. From world class cutting edge science to mystic babble and motivational speakers. I guess that pays the bills, but I’m out of here.
