    I love this app! Time is limited. This app expedites my learning and productivity. I don’t like fluff and buff, instead give me the main points of the message. That’s what Blinkist does.
  • Limited selections.

    Signed up for the new AI option where you can summarize articles and YouTube videos was working for two days and then went to the app today and it disappeared. I want my money back.!! Sent numerous emails no reply!
  • Cannot rate this highly enough.

    (Full disclaimer, because I know people can be (rightfully, perhaps) skeptical of very effusive reviews like these: I’m not being paid to write this, nor am I a Blinkist “partner”, etc. — these are completely my own thoughts, and I’m writing them on my own initiative and volition.) This app is absolutely amazing. I’m grateful and ecstatic that I discovered it, but annoyed I haven’t been using it longer. It condenses almost every book conceivable — philosophy, politics, relationships, you name it — into what you need to know, breaking it down by chaptered themes, with examples; obviously, I’m not recommending this as an alternative to actually reading the books, but if your objective is just to glean, in a very practical, manageable format (just the perfect length — not as cursory as an internet summary, not as lengthy and tedious as a critical essay), the essentials, you can’t do without this. It allows you to expose yourself to SO much, so easily and quickly, and it makes learning really quite fun. It’s also an excellent substitute for the infamous, mindless “doom-scrolling”, given it’s organized similarly. Almost every book is available with voice narration, too.
  • Can’t download after last update.

    Please fix I was really enjoying the app but not it’s useless when I travel.
  • Sapiens

    Stated the obvious, leavened with some pretty big conjectures, presented as fact.
  • Customer support? Nope

    I didn’t use the app enough to justify its renewal. Apparently I forgot. So the day of renewal, after getting notification of a $99.99 charge, I contacted customer service requesting a refund. 2+ weeks later, still not one human has responded. Frustrating.
  • Good summaries

    Blinking is great for going though as many books as possible, and when one summary sounds awesome, you Gl can then get the full book. One minor thing is the UX mishaps of the app where it’s confusing where to rate or save or mark the Blinks as finished in the app.
  • Charged me even after I cancelled

    Did the yearly subscription last year and cancelled several months in because I never used it. A few weeks ago I started getting marketing emails about signing up for premium but nothing about being charged soon or renewing my subscription. Then they charged me for a year and the marketing emails changed to upgrade to pro. I tried contacting support but it’s been two weeks and no follow up other than the automated we received your inquiry. Clearly I was in a bucket of unsubscribers based on my market emails so the fact that I was charged when I wasn’t expecting is highly infuriating.
