Who has time to read these days? We do! That’s thanks to Blinkist’s brilliant summaries of top non-fiction books. Not only are the articles packed with insight into business, culture and self-improvement, they’re designed with busy schedules in mind. Seamless switching between text and narration is super-useful on the go, and finding topics couldn’t be simpler.
Good idea
LOVEbrahman
After hearing a few books it gets quite annoying to only have 1% of the book. Update 1 I think my review was unfair so I am updating it. Even though the blinks are short and only provide a brief snapshot of the whole book, wether summarised knowledge is more harmful then the full is for you to decide. I am inclined to say that the app can still be useful in many ways. For the amount I paid for a yearly subscription, to expect full book’s worth of knowledge for so many books is unreasonable. I believe the Blinkist team have put together a very good app, the interface is highly intuitive, the narrator's are pleasant to listen to, lots of bright minds have put in effort to summarise these books. I appreciate the highly talented people that were involved in making this artful, exciting experience that keeps on delivering.

The narration is engaging, and the summaries are well-structured, making it simple to grasp the main ideas quickly.What I appreciate most is how it encourages continuous learning without overwhelming me.

Plus, the community aspect allows me to share insights with others and discuss key takeaways, adding an extra layer of engagement.Overall, this app is a must-have for anyone who wants to grow personally and professionally without the time commitment of traditional reading. Highly recommended! 🙌🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌🏼❤️
Good idea, good content, terrible CarPlay

I love Blinkist, and have found many good books on it. I like the intro and summary added by the narrators. I like that you can request other books be added, although this could be improved by linking to a wider source.The biggest problem, and my reason for not continuing my subscription, is the terrible CarPlay experience. Listening in the car is when I usually have the most time. Using CarPlay, Blinkist stops after most blinks, requiring the phone to be unlocked and the app brought to the foreground, go to the now playing screen and play or advance to the next blink. You can’t do that while driving! Also sometimes stops sending audio - the play progress keeps advancing but no audio until the app is forced closed and reopened (s in the car).Once CarPlay is fixed, this will be a great service.
If they gave Oscars for bug squashing, our team of engineers would have swept the board this week. Thanks to them, the latest version of the Blinkist app runs quicker and smoother than ever.
