User reviews

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.
