Some apps are distributed as Split APKs (multiple .apk files packaged together) to optimize resources. Standard Android installers cannot open them.
What’s New:
- Faster performance across the app — native operations are now significantly quicker thanks to an updated core architecture
- Improved memory efficiency, so the app runs smoother even on older devices
- More reliable and stable experience with a modernized database layer under the hood
- No changes to how the app looks or works — everything you know stays exactly the same

I love TED Talks but the app has something wrong with it. I've updated my software, restarted my phone and still have the same issues. Whenever I watch a video, it will randomly pause. This happens when I'm both watching videos from the app and when I turn my screen off. It doesn't pause the video right away after I shut my screen off but it always seems to pause when the video is nearing the end or the middle. Now when I'm watching a video, none of the buttons work. Like to save or share.
This is not the Ted I used to know. What is with a 20-minute ads that are hard to skip? If you tried to listen to a playlist, it inserts ads that are 20 minutes long and then you have to click a button to skip. So unattended listening is dead. Sometimes it just skips the next video and starts at 20 minute add again. I don't mind short ads give it up to a minute and a half long. Thats fine. But 20 minutes long???
Videos start playing automatically from the downloads list, even if autoplay is disabled in the settings, the video is not downloaded and there is no WiFi. WiFi detection is so buggy, I had to disable it to get anything downloaded. There is no way to schedule download when offline. The app is often unresponsive when I'm trying to rewind the video back. The My Library tab is shown in dark gray on black, barely visible when trying to use the app while driving. The videos are great though.
I really want to love this app but the download feature is AWFUL. It constantly fails to download playlists and will try for hours. And then, if you try to cancel it downloading a playlist because it is stuck it will undownload the WHOLE playlist. On top of that, even once you manage to get something downloaded, unless you're connected to WiFi or data it frequently won't play it. And sometimes even when you're connected it still won't play it and will freeze and spin forever even if you kill the app. Andddd furthermore, I couldn't find the setting that only allows it to stream over wifi. There's one for downloading only over wifi. But I've accidentally streamed over my data plan multiple times now. Which I wish I had more control over. Overall, the only reason I didn't give this app 1 star is because the content is worthwhile and the interface would be great if I could get the downloading to work smoothly. As it is, I feel like it's trash.
