TED

TED brings inspiring ideas and smart learning to your pocket

TED is a polished, idea-packed hub for anyone who loves learning, reflection, and big-picture thinking. It pulls together thousands of TED Talks and a growing library of podcasts, wrapping them in a clean, intuitive interface that makes discovering new content feel effortless rather than overwhelming.

The home screen highlights trending, recommended, and themed collections, helping you jump straight into talks that fit your current mood—whether you want something inspiring, funny, or deeply thought‑provoking. You can also browse by topic, from technology and science to psychology, design, and global issues, or use the handy “Surprise Me” feature to get a randomly curated talk when you’re not sure what you’re looking for.

A major strength is language support: many talks offer subtitles in over 100 languages, making the content accessible to a truly global audience. The app also integrates the TED Audio Collective, so you can listen to full podcast series like WorkLife with Adam Grant or Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter in the same place you watch talks.

Playback options are thoughtfully designed. You can switch between video and audio, adjust playback speed, and download talks or podcast episodes for offline listening—ideal for commutes or flights. Logging into a TED profile lets you sync bookmarks and saved talks across devices, so you can start on one screen and continue on another without losing your place.

If there’s a downside, it’s that the sheer volume of content can feel daunting at first, and discovery relies heavily on curated lists and recommendations. Still, for those who enjoy learning from experts and storytellers across disciplines, TED offers one of the richest, most inspiring idea libraries available in a single app.
