TED TV

It asked me whether I minded if it recorded my voice searches and I said yes because it said you can edit this later in settings. I tried to edit it in settings and there is no option to change it. Why do they need to record my voice? There's no help option to ask someone how to change it, no contact information to contact them to ask. If you say there is a way to change it via settings then give users the option to change it via settings. It's a really basic thing. If you promise users something then make sure you deliver. Going to uninstall. The categories offer ten videos... Ten videos on politics. Ten videos on psychology. Really? Just ten? That's not enough in my opinion. Really the lack of ability to change settings is the worst thing though. Why lie about it?

I love TED, but their app won't open on Google TV. Tried again 3 weeks later, same results: it installs, I select it, nothing happens. I uninstall, reinstall, nothing happens. Annoying af.

What an astonishing disappointment of an app. There is no login mechanism so your viewing info cannot be synchronised with your TED account, and many videos available on the TED website are not available in this app. It looks like they stopped maintaining it two years ago as well. They didn't stop maintaining paid memberships though.
