Blinkist: Book Summaries Daily App Reviews

I wish that when you were listening to a book it would show the total time of the book remaining and not just the chapter time.

I love this app when it works. Its a great way to "test drive" a book or refresh your memory of a book youve read in the past. Cons: Not many but some of the narrators have a thick accent or are monotone making it challenging to follow. Biggest issue is that about 45% of the time youll have to re-download your entire library because it will simply wipe it out. This is quite annoying especially since it often takes almost the same amount of time to download a Blinkist book as it does to listen it to. Occasionally its taken much much longer, even with great wifi connection. If they ever work the bugs out itll be great but it hasnt happened yet.

Ive been waiting for something like this! Audiobooks can get expensive and time-consuming. Tons of books summarized into 15 minutes each. New books added frequently

Audio-access to "CliffsNotes" of the best self-help books ever written -- making us all wiser in just 15 minutes!!! Whats not to love?!?!

I love reading. Whenever I have a bit of free time (train rides especially) I like to read a book or two.

While this is a wonderful service, the buggy app is infuriating. You have to keep tapping to get it to display all of the text. The previous version did this also, and I contacted support and deleted and reinstalled the app. When this is fixed I will update my review to 5 stars because I really want to love this.
