User Reviews

Users praise the TED Talks app for strong educational content, language-learning value, and helpful discovery features. However, repeated complaints focus on reliability: videos often won’t play or load, frequently interrupting playback; the app also becomes unresponsive or freezes after a short time; performance is laggy and not well optimized. Some users also want basic UI improvements and updated features (e.g., navigation controls and Shorts). Overall, the content is excellent, but reliability issues substantially degrade the experience.

Pros

High-quality, diverse TED Talk content with strong educational value.
Valuable for learning English and general knowledge.
Good discovery features: random talks and related recommendations help explore topics.
Overall positive reception and free access, delivering quality content.

Cons

Videos frequently fail to play or interrupt, with loading stalls and black screens.
App freezes or becomes unresponsive after a few minutes, hindering playback.
Performance issues: laggy, slow loading, and not well optimized.
Requests for navigation controls and feature updates (back/forward/volume/brightness) and outdated Shorts features.

Dear the developer, can you add download option for podcasts section? because I would like to listen to the podcasts via offline when I am on bus or studying at library. I wish you could add that option in next update

Mr*****, 2026-06-30

What happened to this application. I used to remember that it used to be my favourite app during my school days. Now it's so bugged, hanged and stuck that it really destroys the smoothness. The reason I downloaded this app is to come out of toxicity in YouTube comments and get the flow but sadly it failed. I want to uninstall but don't want to. Please for god's sake improve the UX and add some interactive contents. It seems that its still stucked to past decade.
