Problems if you are lega

I’m legally blind and used to be able to get to the transcript fairly easily. That is no longer a possibility.

Newest update working again

With the previous version Every time I started the app on my iPad it crashed immediately. Now it’s working again.

For i in ted.range(0, -1):

if i != self.category:
raise Exception: f”There is no {self.category} content.
else:
ted.pop(i)
watchlist.append(i)

>> There is no programming content

This was probably poorly written, which just goes to prove the point.

Doesn’t work with iOS 27

Updated app 9/24

After updating, I opened the app and it immediately shut down.

I received an email requesting actions I had done. Responded and an updated app was released. All is well.

Newest update crashes on iPad

Every time I start the app on my iPad it crashes immediately. I’ve quit all apps, reinstalled the TED app, and restarted the iPad. Does anyone do testing before releasing a new version?

New bug

It’s crashed when I updated the latest version.

From Good to Bad

Just updated the app and it crashed three times.
I’ve deleted it

I have two suggestions for improvement.

I’m Japanese, and I’m using this app to practice my English listening skills. I originally watched your videos on YouTube, but since the ads were distracting and I often found myself getting sidetracked by entertainment videos, I’ve switched to using this app instead.

The main things I like about the app are:
・Transcripts and subtitles are available in a decent number of languages
・I can search for videos by entering words related to my interests in the search bar
・There are absolutely no ads

I really appreciate these features.

However, there are two areas I’d like to see improved.
① I’d like to see more speed options
…When practicing listening, I read along with the audio while viewing the subtitles. At 0.75x, it feels too slow, and at 1x, it feels too fast, so I’d like to see options for 0.8x, 0.85x, 0.9x, and 0.95x.
② I’d like to be able to search separately for TED-Ed videos and TED videos.
…I prefer watching TED-Ed videos because it’s easier for me to understand English while watching the animations, but they aren’t separated in the search bar. Also, since there are fewer TED-Ed videos displayed in the “Recommended” section, I’d like a system that allows me to filter and view only TED-Ed videos.

Women know what a man is

Thank you for previous inspiring talks but as a woman. I don’t need to be mansplained what a man is and is not. I will now delete TED frommy life.

Transcript Issue

Great app, but the “Read transcript” button doesn’t seem to work in this app. It works normally on the website version. I hope this bug can be fixed soon.
