Usefulness & Frequently Used:
Ted Talks for Android is targeted towards a specific group of individuals with strong interest in Technology, Entertainment and/or Design. A niche target audience app and not a general audience app. Also frequency of use can be limited only because TED Conferences occur a few times per year.
Ease of Use & Interface:
Ted Talks for Android is very easy to use due to its user interface. Its interface is sleek, clean and optimal for thumb/finger navigation between the four feature tabs; Home, Videos, Audio and Favorites. Gripe Alert: Though navigation is optimal, the text size is a bit small for some users and doesn’t currently offer a setting to increase/decrease font sizes.
