TED

This app is full of anti Russia/putin and climate propaganda. You know it’s to brainwash the sheeple when they don’t show the other side of story.

…the app’s limp search functionality makes it completely frustrating to use. Someone posts a reference to a TED talk on say LinkedIn and you type either the title, part of the title or the name of the speaker into the search field in the TED app itself and all you get is that it cannot find anything. Doesn’t happen all the time, but just way too often. Ideally, you’d expect to just tap the referenced talk and it would open in the app, but that never ever works on my iPad Pro.

Great content.... if you can find it.
When typing the exact title of a talk or the exact name of a person into the search bar, it often shows it couldn’t find any results

Due to a bug I cannot watch any video in the app. Clicking on a video results in a black screen.

I use to search and find interesting things to watch.
Now the app is getting worse to find things and more difficult to search on theme’s and such

When creating a new account, the bars where you fill your name and passwords in, collapse after tapping two times. Had me trying it 20+ times over, to no avail.

Het kan toch niet zo zijn dat zo’n groot platform zo’n waardeloze app lanceert en de bugs niet fixed?

Doesn’t work on my iPhone. Won’t play the video’s.. Very annoying! Hope that you will fix it soon!

I love that with this app I now can save my favourite talks and the ones I still want to see and also that it offers such a big library. I’m also pretty confused and put out that one of the, for me, biggest bonus features of the site-database doesn’t seem to be available in the app: the transcripts. Or am I missing something?
For me most often watching or listening 15 minute talks are quite a task, specially if I don’t know if it would be really interesting. I am a very good and quick reader though and the transcripts offer me much help in scanning, learning and sometimes deciding to do see the video to also see the specific interactions. And now -quite counter-intuitive- it’s actually even more difficult for me to watch the videos ánd read the transcripts. I do most of my workings on learning on iOS and now when I find a talk I want to check out it automatically prompts the app. Which is good because then I can save it. And not good because my most helpful feature that puts your site and talks above let’s say Youtube is not available. For the transcripts I now need to find a desktop pc and find the talk on there to see if it has a transcript. (Which it often haves.)
In all this also a minor problem is that I can’t copy-paste titles in the app making it even a task to turning watching and researching for transcripts into quite a large task, even for putting it on to do-lists.

The need to log on to ted takes away much of the open character. It changed the friendly ‘we like to give you’ and ‘we like to provide to the community’ into ‘we take something to you’ and ‘you’re not anymore in control of yourself’. Too bad, it robbed the community from innocent wisdom and replaced it by crowd control. At least, that’s the perception it creates. It was nice to jump on and off and be surprised. Now we need to identify before entry, I expect we have to pay for entry soon, reserved for the elite. Good things that grow big tend to fall down. I’ve enyoyed the start. Now it’s giving up space for new things to evolve and preparing for decay. Farewell old friend, I enjoyed your childhood.

Crashed at the first opening.
More often than not refuses to pause. And then the pause button plus its two sidekicks won’t disappear from view.
It won’t go home in the middle of a talk.
Then it also doesn’t know the time in the talk anymore. And thinks it is minutes from finishing and won’t go home. Lovely black screen on which the time of the talk has stopped.
Very slow to open.
Doesn’t remember the categories I like.
I really don’t like this, can I please have the older one back?

Dear Ted,
You've got my support and trust to put quality of knowledge first!
Keep up the best!

Bij elke keer openen loopt de app vast, en als ie het doet kan je niet eens zien wanneer de Ted talks zijn geweest. Zoeken lukt slecht en je krijgt geen overzicht van de meeste recente talks. Wat een blamage voor Ted.

Is there any way I can use Chromecast to see the talks? It seems like the feature is gone, at least for me... :/

Great content but why I cannot watch downloaded content when not connected to internet baffles me. I downloaded a number of videos to watch during a recent flight and I couldn’t because of no internet connection. More or less defeats the purpose.

setup takes multiple trials, or forever.
only a limited number of talks, the real depth of the now existing catalogue of all TEdtalks is withheld.

TED kan nog heel veel leren van Netflix. Het downloaden gaat super traag en is eigenlijk niet werkbaar. Jammer want dat maakt gebruik van de app irritant terwijl de lezingen super zijn.

Love the content but the chromecast isnt available in any of the screen (home screen or in video). Please support
