Throughout human history, ideas inspired creative thinking and drove innovation. Idea hubs evolved from caves to amphitheaters, to libraries, and to modern-day coffee shops. In Digital Age, TED app, the APPY Award entrant makes ideas accessible to mobile users.

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a non-profit whose mission is to “Spread Ideas”. Featuring thousands of inspiring talks by leading thinkers from around the world, TED's official app brings idea-sharing to a whole new level. It takes the entire TED Talk video library and tailors it to iPad/mobile users in an elegant way.

The TED App provides unique features for mobile device users to search, sort, download and view. One feature is the “Inspire Me” button, revealing an elegant watch face (thanks to supporting partner Rolex) to match the time you have with the type of TED Talk you want to view. The videos play in high or low resolution depending upon the connection. The content can also be transferred from mobile device to a home entertainment system via AirPlay or Chromecast.

The app is free and can be downloaded both on App Store and Google Play.
