Blinkist Reviews

Listening and Reading simultaneously

Omid.Hassasfar on

South Africa

I love using Blinkist and find the combination of reading and listening to summaries incredibly helpful. However, I noticed that when I listen to the audio and read along, the text isn’t highlighted in real-time to match the narration. Would it be possible to add a feature where the text is automatically highlighted as the audio plays? This would make it much easier to follow along and enhance the overall experience.

Was a great app

Old blinkist fan on

South Africa

Blinkist started off great, but with allowing novels part of history and politics. Further many titles are repeated across too many sections. The rate of new content has also slowed down dramatically.

I love getting the big picture of a book in 15 to 25mins! Great tool/app to use while traveling or training. I really love it! Keep up the good work!

Bad taste

Bolton79 on

South Africa

I can echo so many of the other responses. I enjoyed the app for a while, and then decided to consolidate my finances and cancelled. I have never experienced an app like this where it is impossible to cancel a subscription. The money just keeps coming off every year.

No access to my Library

NeilaPiela on

South Africa

I can’t access my personal library where all my downloads sit. I paid for a yearly subscription but now I can barely use the paid features

Day 1 dusted

Olka polka on

South Africa

The audio got to a point where it skipped so I resorted to reading. I enjoyed the audio which made it more immersive and was faster than my own reading.

Meditation,mindfulness and happiness

Mindfulness and happiness on

South Africa

I have learnt a lot on the above. I am no a better person, happy and healthy. I love myself, my partner, family and friends. I wish to read more about mindfulness, the brain, meditation and happiness. I also like reading about start ups. How the entrepreneurs deal with challenges in businesses

Amazing how few adolescents know or Listen to your wisdom. I’m a wannabe influencer and promote your app strongly. Thank you ! Such a great app. Not surprising you Germans are way better than Headway. Got loads of German Mate’s here in Blouberg Cape Town. BTW if any of you Kitesurf, my wife and I host guests at our home. Would be good to meet any of you guys from Berli. Love your app! Take care. Thanks again. Best regards 👊🏼 Graham Prae AKA GForce …damn my nickname is already taken. That’s ok I got more than one ☝🏾 Greggs… damn that one also taken. Let’s try GeeForce… OMG 😳 OK my business is Protect A Child… I protect children from drowning and dream of helping to be aware of the rabbit hole of their screens…. Curiouser and curioser

Not worth premium

nickynickynicknamey on

South Africa

Keeps logging me out, why? Not easy/ really hard to find daily blink on premium. Paid for yearly subscription, used it twice. Too self helpy/ not sure if it has what I want because I’m logged out again. [edit]: found what I was looking for on spotify

Not what it used to be

VonaD91 on

South Africa

I used to love Blinkist and used to feel empowered by it. Nearly everything is locked now, and you need Pro version to have it unlocked. You can't draw more people to Blinkist when there's nothing to draw them with. Subscription fees are very expensive, so be ready to turn your pockets inside out. Thanks Blinkist for what you used to be. Hopefully I'll see you again someday if you go back to how things were. But for now, cheers!
