Blinkist Reviews

Fantastic

Kat & Mouse on

Australia

So enjoying this app. All the books I’ve bought and never found the time to read, I can now listen to (abridged version) and at least absorb the main points. Very useful for the time-poor, which is probably all of us.

Interface

ye4llow on

Australia

Interface laggy

Review

Lisa Lawyer on

Australia

Easy to use great titles great for busy people

The app is only letting me listen to, not read

KimLit on

Australia

When I click on read it is defaulting to the audio, with no clear way to get it back to reading

Reading Interface

boulvardier on

Australia

Hey, what on earth did you do to the reading interface. Whoever is causing the havoc with the interface really needs to do a team wide presentation of their plan, what’s worked, and what hasn’t. Please.

Terrible updates. I used to love it, but now I’m thinking of switching

Carolina eng on

Australia

They changed the reading interface, and it’s terrible. There are no separations now, and there’s no button to mark the book as finished. You have to play the audio to mark it as completed.

Best app on my device (- HomePod connectivity)

Ceren Deelstra on

Australia

Easily the best app on my iPhone. They constantly add new and update their existing content. The quality of Blinks are great and the curation and shortcasts are also great. My only issue is that Blinks do not transfer to HomePod and HomePod Minis automatically or at all. So I can only listen on my iPhone/computer or via headphones which feels limiting while at home. Keep up the good work and please fix this issue.

Brilliant way to start the day

Ness963 on

Australia

This app is brilliant. It’s a good way to start the day, but it’s also a great way to find out if a book is worth reading in it’s entirety. It could be improved immensely if we could choose the accent of the narrator though. I find some accents easier to engage with - some are too distracting. Perhaps this is a neuro diversity issue - but it is an issue none the less.

The worst!

Toniq 123 on

Australia

Repeatedly asks you to sign and then when you finally sign in for the 400th time and think you can finally start reading NOPE sign in again. Save time and just read the original book!

No Audio Download

Samurai 79 on

Australia

I enjoyed using this app in the past and would always have a selection of blinks to listen to downloaded… Unfortunately when I went to listen this week the audio files were no longer on my phone and being out of any network coverage was unable to listen to the blinks. Upon investigation the Auto Download saved blinks feature is no longer available in the settings menu. Please bring back Auto Dowloads.
