A lot of people , youngsters especially can't find enough time to sit down and grab a newspaper to educate themselves about the events happening around the world. But this App helps accomplish that task. It is not only about the different strides of progress made in each field , that is made aware to the user , but the different speeches and articles helps to connect with people from different walks of life. Please keep this app going on and on and on forever.

I wanted to rate app in 5 stars for the possibility to listen to TED when I want to do something in parallel. However, app doesn't allow listening in background and stops any time I switch to the other apps :( and if I lock screen too. It already has a cool option 'listen' which provide audio without video. I believe, for this mode is no point in showing screen constantly. UPD: Suggested background playback option in settings works perfect! App now behaves exactly as I expected from the very beginning. Thanks for a prompt reply. 5 stars definitely! :)

Still waiting for my Robin... Overall it's a happy medium for information and fresh perspective. I like how you can like things. My one qualm is whenever I lock my screen it stops, which means if I'm listening to it at work it's hard to put it in my pocket without dissonace.

Learn everyday, everywhere. I love this app so much! Ted talks has taught me so much and the app is so convenient. I use this on my tablet and I listen and watch videos at school, coffee shops and on the train. It allows you to browse categories, or choose the surprise me option where it asks you how much time do you have and what kind of video would you like to watch, which I think is pretty neat. It also allows you to have favorites, Look back at your history and have a queue. You can also share videos and comment on them.

Great app. Ted is an amazing approach to spread ideas and I've always had this app for easy access to knowledgeable talks. A login feature would also be a nice touch to synchronise favorites with my Ted account. (It was silly of me to have not noticed the search icon at the bottom.)

Still can't find audio only There's no way to search for audio only and when you find one you can't fast forward through it. So if you have to stop it and come back you have to listen to the entire thing again. The same goes with the podcast. It is so bad that I have finally just given up on the app.

Intriguing I've been obsessing over TED talks for the past few weeks now. I enjoy how all the speakers have some sort of personal connection to what they talk about. They all are extremely passionate about what it is they are speaking about. I've reccommened TED talks to my friends, family, and even teachers at my school due to the fact it's informative and entertaining at the same time. More people should be watching this because these talks are what are needed in this world.

Best app I have known As a student, it is changing my life to vast measures from simply being aware to finding answers. I am sure, that in the long run, I will end up being a better person just because I have this app. It's the one thing that doesn't just impart knowledge or entertainment, but wisdom as well. This app is what I realize now, I have always expected from the future: the ability to connect with brilliant people half way around the world, learning from others mistakes, altruism, and something making the world better

Can't ccess downloads without App? I want to download the talks and move them to other media (non internet connected) but cannot. Why doesn't the App support this? Where are the media files stored? One has to resort to other podcast software to be able to download media anywhere you want to be able to store them where you want. Please fix this App so we can download content to where we want

Great app no doubt abt it but can't share the video I wud have rated it 5 stars but only problem is I can't share the video with others.. it just gets back to the Ted app as soon as I select whom I want to share it with. Fix this issue please!

Informative and inspiring Great app. Provides knowledge which will be helpful for me throughout my entire life from people all across the globe and from every industry. One star less due to few bugs that are really annoying and frequent

A Pleasure Loving the new updates guys. Great to see playlists and radio hour features. And you finally fixed the scrollbar showing on the chromecast title page. I did however experience random issues with a talk restarting multiple times when casting the other day.

Wonderful app but can it please include the user login This app works perfectly great and fine but it lacks one tiny thing which is the user login. I already have an account for ted before I downloaded this app and because I cannot login to my existing account, I have to find my talks in queue/favourite/history all over again - which is very inconvenient and waste of time. Besides, what will happen if I change my phone..do I have to find the talks I have saved all over again in the ted app on my new phone? I hope not, so please include the user login in the app

Best Humane community I wish i wad a tedster in real life, at least i am in my heart. The app is beautiful and if there's one thing I'd love to see is way more video's. I wish you could incorporate all TEDx events, good or bad. Just put them up and let people judge them by views and conversations. Keep up the good work.

LOVE TED, Do Not Love This App TEDTalks are wonderfully educational and I enjoy watching them. I also, however, very much enjoy LISTENING to them while I do other things. Until this app can run in the background or at least let me turn off my phone's display, I cannot rate more than 3 stars.

DO NOT STOP FASCINATING US TED.. You get to know everything. I'm albanian and there are videos with albanian subtitles. That's amazing! Don't stop fascinating us TED.. you make us educated.. :-)

It's great, but... The app's really wonderful and easy to use. However, theres one thing I found missing. I've been searching desperately for a way to login to my TED account and it's not there. That's terrible because it's impossible to access saved and favourited talks and view them later from different devices. Please do add the login. It's crucial!

really great content, but the problem is that the app does not sync bookmarks, which would be such a great way of tracking what you watched... [Update: this has actually gotten much better, see below. So upgrading to 4-stars and may go to 5-stars if it indeed works everywhere.)

Love TED Talk but why no AC mgmt After all, why I can't login TED talk on mobile just as I login on PC?! It's very tedious to manage my playlists from 2 sources!!!

Loved the improvements... Really glad to now know how long a TED Talk is going to last without having to use the Surprise Me option to limit a talk or selection of talks to the time slot I have for them. Now I can scroll and find a talk I want to watch or listen to that fits. Also great, when TED notifies of a collection of talks I can now add them to my watch queue in one tap. Great stuff and keep up the excellent work TED. - UPDATE: Don't know what happened but it appears to be broken, won't even load the info page for any video.

Yesterday, I tried to skip to a different point in the video, and it froze my Chromeast. Just now, I tried repeatedly to pause a video. It unpauses itself in about a second. This app needs work. Using a Galaxy Note 4. UPDATE (Sept. 16): Thanks for your response. It's better, but still needs work. The pause issue is fixed and so far after three talks my Chromecast hasn't crashed. However, if a talk is completed, the play bar reaches the end, and Chromecast goes back to showing the TED title banner, I cannot pick a place in the talk's time bar and press play. Nothing will happen. I must go back to the list of talks, choose the same talk, and then once it starts playing, choose the spot I want on the time bar. I added one star, to 3/5.

It Does Not Use (Too Much) Unnecessary Permissions, THANK YOU. This App Does Not Use (Too Much) Unnecessary or Private Level System Permissions or Accesses (P&A), THANK YOU. This developer & this app, RESPECTs User's PRIVACY-RIGHTS (comparatively) much more, than other (similar-type) software developer's Apps. It wudB betr if WiFi-connection P&A was avoided. v3.0.3 is much Improved, Thanks for carefully developed & great App.

Works pretty well. If I want to listen to audio only, and I play in the background, does the app stream only audio or video as well? Because in slower connections I'm facing issues even when other audio streaming apps work.

I don't know how to survive without these. I have been listening to your talks since 6th grade, it really helped me through hard times. I would recommended to everyone!!

Love it! All the TED talks I've watched I've loved and It's awesome to have a convenient app to go to to find them instead of searching through unwanted stuff you might find on the internet or YouTube while trying to find the talk you want to watch. Very cool!

I love it I could have given 5stars but as it plays hd videos so it's kept on buffering for long time if the internet speed is less. Overall I found this to be the best app for motivational and inspirational videos ever made and best thing is that you can enjoy world's best personality thoughts at home just by watching videos

Thanks for your effect Wow I'd seen a few Ted talks online or through the Ted website- it's wonderful that there's an app to easily browse and play talks. All the speakers here are of such high quality =)

Overly amzing I could not find a better app than this. It really helps a lot in educating people and enhnacing their listening and speaking skills. Kudos!

Good App but..... Strangely in a world where every one wants to hey the user details by asking them to login, this app does not have the login feature. Because of this my wishlists and favourites on Web are not in sync work the ted app.

Missing Important functions Is there a way I can download only the audio? Also it's a bummer that I can't sync it with my TED account. Am I missing something?

Screen off? So is this app. Seems like a decent way to consume TED talks until you realize that you must do so with your phones screen on. I would do a more thorough review, but that is too much for mw to get past. UPDATE: many apologies, great app!

Buggy - no video! Had to uninstall from my HTC Flyer as when I download talks and try to play, I hear the audio buth there is no video. I'm also unable to close the app or go back to my home screen o. r any other for that matter. The olny way I can get out of it is to restart my tablet. I've resorted to just watching the talks directly from Youtube ...... WOW!! You guys are really on the ball...it only took you 4 years to respond to my review...great job, keep it up!

Videos don't play anymore After updating to the latest version, the videos don't start at all, let alone play them. I will change the rating again if you fix this problem.

A fascinating app This is the best educational app I've never seen. It makes my device much more useful. There are various interesting topics, and they're inspirational. Love it.

Edit: It's been a long time since my first run with this app and man has it been improved! Beautiful interface, lot's of options for viewing my content, and best of all - runs smoothly.

Frankly honest discussions on an incredible array of topics and opinions. Less than 15 minutes to a better idea. Great way to fill in your daily routine and relieve commuter boredom. Eureka!!

Ted Talks While the app itself is fine. The content of some of the Ted Talks is horrible and anyone who supports the content should not be trying to development anything educational.

Very Good App! No stranger to TED but new to app and it lives upto the expectations. And as already noted and suggested by fellow users, login capability would be helpful, but there is no loss of features or functions without it too..

Good talks TED talks are great. What i really dont like about this app is that it continues download after i move away from wifi. And option i chose is download ONLY over wifi.

Good job fellas The app has come a long way, and they now deserve a 5 star. Great ui, download ability for offline watching; now I can enjoy Ted as much on my mobile devices as on a computer.
