Good but slow
I've had this app from day one, and I'd highly recommend it to any fan of the TED.com website.
However, I've noticed that, with the past two updates, sometimes the audio of a video will begin playing again after you exit a video and return to the app's home screen. While it's still possible to navigate the app's menus, there's no way to stop the audio unless you start a new video or close the app.
Overall, though, this remains one of my favorite apps.
TED App has best content around.
If you want access to some of the greatest content on the web, get this app. It has worked perfectly and is full of great features.
TED + mobile = great idea!
TED is neck-and-neck with Wikipedia as my favorite content source in any medium. It's great that I can now watch these videos while in transit or otherwise in wait-mode away from a connected computer. The are visually and aurally clear and crisp on the iphone.
I love that all 300-some-odd videos are easily accessible. The simple list interface is, frankly, more convenient than the 12-at-a-time web site interface.
Occasionally a presenter's diagram is too small to read on the small screen. This is likely outside the scope of iphone application development at this time, nevertheless: a multi-touch zoom on the video, akin to photos, would make this a 5-star app and a contender for all-around best. (To be fair, even on my Mac I occasionally pause and zoom the screen while watching TED.)
