It's okay.... Primarily overall I'm disappointed with the limited amount of Ted Talks. What's the point of using the app, when I have to use google or YouTube to find the talks I want anyways? Do not expect to find all the T-Talks you can imagine here. Their search engine needs an overhaul. Also it seems to push a very limited amount of videos you may be interested in. Keep seeing the same talks over and over, even after I've watched them a couple times.

I love TED Talks but the app has something wrong with it. I've updated my software, restarted my phone and still have the same issues. Whenever I watch a video, it will randomly pause. This happens when I'm both watching videos from the app and when I turn my screen off. It doesn't pause the video right away after I shut my screen off but it always seems to pause when the video is nearing the end or the middle. Now when I'm watching a video, none of the buttons work. Like to save or share.

While listening with earphones and screen locked app often stops playing in the middle of ted talk for no reason and also becomes totally unresponsive. needs to be restarted and does not store what I was listening to, so it is difficult to continue after restart. completely horrible user experience
