(It's not available in the US App Store on my iPad for some reason (iOS 5.0.1).)
Navigation by subtitles is interesting. I wish that existed on the website. Sites like MIT's Udacity have broken away from the barrier of losing the user's focus or being redundant by dividing videos into even smaller segments of just a few minutes with continual questions / exercises for instant feedback. I wonder if Sal is considering something similar.
I've seen the Exercises feature, but it lacks exercises for most of the videos.
Note that we are currently a/b testing the effects of offering a "transcript" button under each video on the website itself which does just this. If you're lucky, you may already have the button.
We'll almost certainly launch it to everyone soon even though the test hasn't told us much, just b/c we think it's a useful feature.
I noticed you're a KA intern. Can you comment on any interesting problems addressed or aspects of the iPad implementation? It appears to be fully native as opposed to a wrapped web app. Is that correct?
