I've been following Ted since many years. A great source of updated information and current researches going on in different fields. Application is built well, very great to surf through various topics and talks. Just not able to share video. It says NO APPS CAN PERFORM THIS ACTION. So I'm able to share these talks with my dear and near ones. Please fix this bug. Previously I was able to share through WhatsApp....

One of the best project to share personal knowledge and unusual experiences. The app is great and the option is very useful. I've found out it's useful to set "Background Playback - Always On" when I want to listen while driving..I would like to take a part in the project. But I don't know how. Could you give me an advice?

Its a good app... good knowledge and ideas are being spread... however, you need to make a change in app settings... I would like to use this app to listen to the audio while driving by connecting to bluetooth with screen off... but the moment I lock the screen the audio also stops... pls make necessary changes to enable a listening only mode... thanks...

There is a basic bug in the app. If you click on any video & go back to main screen, then the previous position is lost & we return to the topmost part. This requires scrolling again.. That's annoying

Getting this error while sharing "No apps can perform this action" Please help on this. No source on internet to solve this. This problem is faced by many users. Kindly reply. Thanks

Great app , but when you scroll down and click a video then go back ... it goes back to the first video then you have to scroll back again ... it's kinda annoying .... But everything else is great and useful ... I wish there would be more quantity and variety in audio content since you can hear them while driving

N70%
by N####:

Please include a "like" feature for the audio podcast. I'm sure many users would like to be able to keep a list of the tracks they love, without having to save it. And it will be better if the podcasts has subtitles as well. It is easier for us to see the names, or screenshot some quotes that we find inspiring and want to keep with us. Please consider these suggestions. Great app.

N70%
by N####:

Content is fantastic. App functionality is not great. I cannot see what has been downloaded to ensure that I am not using data and I cannot turn off my screen while listening to save battery.

T70%
by T####:

It's a great app to search for self improvement, however when I wanted to share a video, the app stated that "No apps can perform this action" I guess it's an error or bug that contradict the "Idea worth spreading"

N70%
by N####:

It doesn't play in the background or behind screen lock...very disappointing. If driving I don't care to look at the content, only listen to it. Overall TED has great content which anyone can enjoy!

N70%
by N####:

Nice app but please consider the screen rotation feature in your app,that's sth influential in every app. I think that's the only negative point about TED !

N70%
by N####:

As long as the review is about the app not the content, I've been receiving notifications with interesting subjects to talks, but when I touch them I am sent to the main screen not the talk in the matter, I believe it is not intentional but if it is, I will happily change my feedback

N70%
by N####:

This app is so great and to I figured out how to be able to turn your phone off and still have it playing! All you have to is once your video is playing hit the home button then turn your phone off

D70%
by D####:

Finally casting option! Accessibility would be nice too. Provide setting for notifications. And take me to the content I clicked instead of just opening the app.

N70%
by N####:

Does not play in the background. Would be great if you could listen to a talk and turn off the screen or open another app at the same time.

A70%
by A####:

Great app but there is one small annoying thing. Can You add opportunity to dowload only sound without video

N70%
by N####:

Ted used to have very good quality content. Now, all new videos are no better than random YouTube channels

N70%
by N####:

I love the download feature, I always download talks before I travel, I love the simplicity and the categories. But the I would also like to see Ted Ed videos. If that is added I will love the app even more

N70%
by N####:

Its a wealth of knowledge and easy to use. The ted talks app streamlines the experience in a way that makes it my go to when i want to get into any subject.

Overall,it's a great app but we would like to have an option with the autoplay button (to on or off the buttons acc to our necessity) Thank you ????

Now I am not able to share the link of video through other applications. Please resolve this!

C70%
by C####:

No dark theme?? Every modern app should automatically offer a dark theme for night reading. In Android Studio, it's just a matter of a few clicks to add that option to your app!

N70%
by N####:

A great place to look for inspiring audios and famous people share their life experiences and quality content is full HD and I loved using this app for a while !

N70%
by N####:

The app keeps crashing repeatedly. I had to reload the app 10 times to watch a 13 minute talk and still haven't finished it. Installing now!

U70%
by U####:

I'm continually displeased that when I click a notification featuring a video, I'm taken to a screen that shows nothing of that video. Feels like false advertising.

D70%
by D####:

It's very good app.Just if this app need video speed up option so to speak it would be great.But overall it is great investment of time.
