Blinkist: Book Summaries Daily App Reviews

Too bad its only a three day trial, starting from when you sign up. Ridiculous! Not enough to even try it. Also, didnt accept my email address as "valid". Overall, disappointing.

Many basic bugs in design and functionality. Definitely, they prefer time to market over quality in their iphone app new release. Hopefully, will be fixed. Dont upgrade until then! If you did, and you listen to offline audios, make sure to disable auto play. And use tags to keep track of what you downloaded because there is no other way. Btw, there is no real support!

Have recommended to friends and they are loving this app too

Great app for speed reading and personal development.

I dont understand how this app could get a bad revies. I subscribed to the premium edition paying over $100 per year and love it. I can get a summary of such a wide variety of books and learn about things I would never have known about e.g. Life in North Korea, how the shipping industry came about, Jimmy Carter, etc. the app itself could use features like better bookmarking. But the quality of the summaries, with action points and take away summaries, makes up for the minor design shortcomings. Money well spent and highly recommended.

I pay for this service. Its really great. But after upgrade to the newest version the app crashes every single time I try to open it. Hope they fix it soon

This is an expensive premium audiobook summery listening app but without the quality app experience. Constant bugs and frustration make it definitely not worth the price.

Love the concept of having summaries you can listen to.

The content is great, but with the latest update the app will crash constantly when I try to listen to audio. Seeing as how theres a 30 dollar difference between plus and premium for audio, I fail to understand why this hasnt been fixed yet.

Blinkist is great for getting the gist it out of book titles I wont get around to reading in full. Wish the UI for enabling audio playback didnt take the user out of the reading screen.

Downloaded and started my "trial" but I cant get anything to Read or Listen. Nothing will add to my list either. Useless. Deleted it within 20 min of installing.

Havent had to deal with customer service but the app is awesome. Theres a lot of books to download. Its great how you can have multiple books on the go at once. Highly recommend.

Amazing book selection with key messages

I downloaded the app after hearing about it on another podcast. What a mistake. Have to pay for everything. Im surprised I was even able to download it for free.

App works great on my iPhone 7. Audio summaries are good but some written content is missed like quotes between chapters and recommended reading at the end. Great way to expose yourself to lots of ideas and books. I think they should say when a book is just too packed with content (idea count?) because there are books that a summary cannot do it justice such as "Strenghfinder 2.0". Most Narration is good. If you dont finish a summary getting back to the same book takes a bit of effort, I usually just use the search function.

Unusable as it constantly crashes or otherwise stops playing audio. Regret paying for a subscription.

Very great app and idea! I am waiting to see more books will be added to the library.

Great summaries and key takeaways on a variety of books, really cool app idea! Good for brushing up on books youve already read or want to read within minutes!

After listening to one audio review of a book, audio stopped working which was the only reason I wanted this app. When I tried to find support for this bug, I found the help section obtuse and unhelpful. Never did find out how to get into contact with a real person. Very disappointed as I was seriously considering purchasing this one.

This are the words of the truth. Although generalized, it encompasses every aspect of its topic
