    1. It looks you can download only podcast files(mp3) from the site.
      All availablities are up to the site’s policy.
      There’s nothing I can do more than that.

  1. Helo
    After last update I can´t download any series from Ted. It´s only online. Is it right? (iPhone ios10)
    Thank you
    Roman

    1. Yes, it’s correct.
      According to Apple’s usage guide, the feature has been changed to play TED online only.

      Thank you,
      Neointro

  2. Audio files format is mp3 only? It’s kind of inconvenient when videos come with aac audio? Are you planning on supporting other audio file formats?

    1. The app supports formats Apple supports natively.
      ie. it doesn’t support formats which require 3rd parties resources.
      I’m sorry that currently there isn’t any specific plan either to support formats beyond Apple’s native capability.

      Thank you for usimg ListeningDrill
