Beautiful. But, in my opinion, the default setting for background listening should be set to "always on". Simply because at first I thought I had to keep my phone on, and on the app. So it frustrated me enough to uninstall it. But Now I've seen it could be changed. Otherwise, it is beautiful.

Gordon Cummings

You are not able to move this to SD card. You are also not able to listen to the app unless the screen is active and sucking battery. Fix these two things this app is a 5 star. It would also be nice to rate the individual talks.

If it is possible, I would like to keep the audio on when I switch to another app (like what a media player do ) in the next update.

Vishesh Pires

The app is great, but I notice that when I go to unlisted a video, it doesn't remember that. When I open the app again, all the unlisted videos are still in my list.

Marcie Niedbalski

Fabulous. I only wish I could go to another screen and have it keep working.

Srikar Gunda

It stopped playing as soon as the screen is turned off or gone to multi task.

A source of valuable knowledge. TED TALKS turns my car into a university...put it on auto play.

Luis Otávio Médici June 24, 2017

Easy an elegant interface. Legends and listean features are great. The search tool requires enhacenment in the user experience.

June 20, 2017

Nice but video strucking in between but audio playing and soon again anyhow resuming well in short span

Ahmed Adejumat June 19, 2017

I cannot recommend Ted enough. This app is fluid and works very well for me.

Than you very much

Motivating

Geir Gullestad Pettersen May 15, 2017

Love the content, but on a phone you would want to just listen while walking, work out etc. That is not possible, even for the audio-only talks, because playback stops if you lock the screen or swap to a different app. Very unfortunate. Please fix that and it's a 5 star.

Li Ting Wong May 30, 2017

There is a setting in app to enable BLACKGROUND PLAYBACK. I listen to this app on my commute everyday and its unfortunate how so many people didn't find the option. Real review: it would be nice to display the full archive of TED NPR. I really like the talk and would like to listen to more of them but theres only a few topics in app. Also, the background playback doesnt work with play/stop control from earphones. This is inconvenient...

Gabby Xin June 9, 2017

Amazing productive time killer on your own schedule with offline videos, great for raising kids a little brighter and more sensitive and open minded, great for appealing to those who are missing prospective. An amazing eye opener and a huge part of my life. Can't recommend enough!!!

EZ Off Grid June 5, 2017

Mostly verry disturbing Leftist propaganda. Full of gender division, racial division, anti-capitalisum, anti-christian hate speech. I found most lectures on Quantum & Partical Physics interesting. But the Neo-Bolshevik clap trap was tedious. boring and offincive.

jono thorstensen June 14, 2017

So fyi if you're making a podcast app it should be able to play the content in the background this is pointless if I have to leave my screen on and drain through my entire battery. I Other than that I love ted talks and want to listen to them in my Daily life please add this functionality

Yosi Mor May 29, 2017

Too bad that for viewing those excellent TED talks, this app still falls short of the web version. We waited so long for v3.0.7 to finally allow us to login and sync with our TED accounts -- but, still, no ability to actually RATE each talk!

TED Conferences LLC November 29, 2016

Hello, thanks for the feedback! In the latest version 3.0.7, you can now log into your TED account and sync your saved and favorite talks. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Adam Jacobson May 15, 2017

Engaging content and nicely designed app, except for a couple of things. First, almost everyone on an Android device uses a Google account, which is missing from sign in. Second, the too frequent notifications are annoying and just get turned off.

Ravi Rao June 25, 2017

Sir i appreciate the app. but here I am facing a problem, I am not able to access subtitle in audio form. Please suggest me how can I access that...

Kevin Venter May 11, 2017

What a brilliant app. As I am deaf I rely on the subtitles which is a massive help. The only problem is when I download an episode, the subtitles disappear and it is pointless to watch when I am travelling otherwise I would rate this 5 stars.

TED Conferences LLC May 13, 2017

We're sorry that you're having this problem and would like to fix it - could you please send a message from the Feedback link in the app menu, with more details? Specifically, is this every talk, or only some talks? We're not able to reproduce the problem ourselves. Thanks for your help.

Jake Indriks May 12, 2017

Amazing in every sense apart from one, the lack of an audio only option that can be used when the screen is off. I will find what I want to listen to on this app but then find that talk on a podcast app instead and listen to it there. Be great if this can be incorporated Edit Thanks Ted! Didn't think to check settings! Ah, I wish I could give useful feedback but the app has everything I need now.

TED Conferences LLC May 5, 2017

There is an option in the app Settings to enable background playback - give it a try!

Edward Yeung May 12, 2017

Well designed. One HUGE PROBLEM: I can't sign in. Neither Facebook nor email works. The "confirm" button after filling in email and password is broken.

Fredrik Wigsnes June 12, 2017

I usually just delete my apps if I don't like them, but I feel so frustrated by the awful search engine that this app got to leave a review before I do. Fix your search TED!

Ufuk Babacan May 30, 2017

App is working very well. TED is a perfect organization helping me having opinion almost every situation and improving the things I already know. Good job.

Chao Guo June 16, 2017

i don't know why it always shows the playing track at full screen mode, and it blocks half of the screen. Doesn't it should auto disappear after a few seconds?
