  • Back After a Year Off - What Happened? Super buggy!

    busted set-top

    I really liked Blinkist and subscribed for two years before taking some time off. I decided to renew my subscription and I’m surprised by all the bugs I’m encountering. The audio players are not working. Every blink I open crashes, with an error note indicating something has gone wrong, and the content is not available. I’m so disappointed, I never had functionality issues before. What happened?

    I think it would have been good to use some actual quotes. The blink list version is very dry and has no lyricism. It does encapsulate many ideas however it also overuses the phrase, “for example.” The way it is written sounds like a ninth grade summary essay. I think there is still work to do in development of this great idea.

  • A notification check mark

    I love the app. Ease of use and very good summaries. I use it daily and go through dozens of books a week. I wish there was a check mark that can be placed on a book that has been completed. With going through so many books. Sometimes the names do stick in my head and I don’t remember if I have already heard the book.

  • Lifetime learners will love this app

    After many years as a member and many hundreds of listens on walk, drives and workouts, Blinkist is the best. Perfect micro summaries of all the best new and classic books. Organized well, easy to explore, save and download etc. Mature, beautiful deign and gives you basically unending access to knowledge.

    I love this direct and efficient method of reading. I have 1,000 thoughts per minute so sitting down to finish a book is impossible. This app soothes my ADHD mind and allows me to receive new information in a good bit of time that doesn’t stress my ability to focus into a book. Thanks Blinkist.

    I’ve been a former subscriber and love the service. However I’m looking to start my service again and was hit with a barrage of 50%-75% off offers that went nowhere and offered no explanation of the different tiers…I didn’t have a lot of time so I just dropped it.
