8 of 25Could you add an option for change the speed of the shorts? The videos have them but the shorts doesn’t and I would like to have that ability please
The app itself is actually great My issue is when i want to listen to a podcast the first 4-5 minutes is nothing but commercials. I can watch a video no problem no extra long commercials.
Our lives and our world are changing so quickly!! Yet when I look for talks about identity, lgbtq, world events for example, I am shown articles anywhere from 2-11 years old.
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.
I love TED talks and there’s plenty of good content here. It’s just too bad the app malfunctions every single time. I try to use it. It freezes it crashes. I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall it many times… lots of bugs figured out guys.
Full of propaganda. The app pushes an agenda; you’ll notice the top recommended talks are always pushing a certain narrative. Deleted the app after opening it twice. All the good TED talks can be found on YouTube.
Please consider adding the Name and credentials of the presenter. Information source matters a lot. If a writer/storyteller talks about their “study of a pandemic” it is much less meaningful than an epidemiologist and professor at Harvard. Additionally please consider adding a link to the full length TedTalk related to the Short.
Using the search function on AppleTV version of this app crashes 100% of the time.
