Didnt like it

I thought it was free but unfortunately it wasnt. I dont want to get charged. I deleted my account.

Core function not working

One of the most important thing I do when I read is highlight. Unfortunately the feature is very poorly implemented and buggy. Most often the app just hangs when highlighting. When it works it still takes 5 taps to highlight a sentence!

Audio feature is terrible

Uses text to speech AI... sounds not bad for a computer but terrible for a human.

Seriously?

I paid for the premium subscription two weeks ago and still cant access the books. The customer service is probably one of the worst Ive ever experienced - kept replying with stock instructions that were on the FAQs and which Ive already done and said Ive done numerous times. This is in between outright ignoring me. I get the feeling that Stephanie hopes Ill eventually stop asking for the service I paid for and never got. Ridiculous. Edit: I still havent gotten my money back.

Simply the best

I am awe struck with the wisdom and right when you need it!

Works for me

I hesitated to become a premium subscriber when I saw some poor reviews but it is doing everything I wanted. It amy fall sort in some of the fancier features but I wanted basic book summaries that are succinct and useful. This really works for me. Just want more books. Thanks!

Crash-a-thorn

Crash every time I tried to open something.

This is great!

I love this app! Reading is one of my favorite hobby.

Useful

Certainly recommend

Last Update Switching app problem

After last update, when I switch between other apps cant start from the last page I was reading.

1 preselected book per day?

Stupid greedy company

Perfect

Exactly good app. Even if you dont buy it, it gives you free reading per day. Thanks.

Effective

Great idea.

Brilliant idea...

The books are very well summarised into blinks... Its a great way to make your commute productive... Its has been one of my favourite app.

Perfect !

I really liked it is so benefical app but of course it is not flawless, I am facing a problem when i need to close app suddenly Because i cannot marked the the word which i read before closing app. There should be another highlighter type for marking where the user left the app But generally the app is perfect!

Amazing

I love this app, great work but they should keep an eye on variety of books and genres! Expecting changes and developments. Thanks

Great for self development

Blinkist is a great tool for learning and self development. Reading a book everyday on very interesting subjects enhances my point view and broadens my knowledge!

Very practical and helpful app

I just loved the app. I could find lots of books Id love to read someday and now with Blinkest I can just read them in a blink:)

Nitce but...

Its definitely my favourite app for now but also too expensive. You should consider per mounth charge, not only yearly. I think its big obstacle for expand your great idea :)

An excellent app

The books are really interesting
