Karaoke Style Highlighting

This app is pretty good. I love the shorts. I look at them every day. That’s my favorite feature. Each screen has a small amount of text that is highlighted karaoke style so that you can follow along with the audio simultaneously reading and listening. It’s great for people with ADHD because it helps them focus. Like on instagram reels. That alone is a great way to stop doom scrolling. However, the rest of the app fails to do the same thing , and I’ll admit it’s hard to just listen or just read. I (along with a lot of other people I’m sure) would love this app and stick with it if it had a karaoke style highlight feature, that highlights the text simultaneously with the audio on all of its material. What’s also great is you can make the text big enough so it’s small chunks of text on the screen instead of an entire page if you want. There are good reasons why people dopamine scroll on instagram and TikTok. To the developers of Blinkist If you want to replace those mind numbing activities with a similar experience in Blinkist this would likely do the trick.If you want ideas for added benefits you could use avatars that you can watch talk to you as the words pop up on the screen. Lots of you tube videos and instagram posts go this route nowadays. Keeps us ADHDrs engaged

Doesn’t matter if you have the checkbox disabled for notification of new features. They send them anyway.

Paid for subscription but not able to access it

I paid for an annual subscription but it is still not working despite contacting them for help! Do not subscribe!!!!

Playback keeps pausing

The only reason I pay for Blinkist Pro is for the audio versions, but for whatever reason they always pause on their own. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max with AirPods Pro 2 and use many different audio apps, yet this is the only app that does this. I can’t describe how annoying it is to be forced to continually press play over and over and over again. I’ve waited and waited and waited for them to patch it, but it’s been months and it’s still doing it. Will be canceling my subscription, far too aggravating.

We live in a fake world now

Great, timely intro to the AI possibilities now & in future. Almost everything can be faked including Science data for papers, election results & fake election voices, articles, non-transparent opinions & facts. AI is not policing itself well, if at all. Blinkist includes many examples of dupes with ghastly results. Creative works can be usurped with no credit or monetization for the author. If, for example, a poet writes a very compelling work, AI can use it without crediting the original poet. This is one of the egregious actions with far reaching negative results. Buyer be Really Aware of Fake Everything, basically. A very sad conclusion. 2/28/25

Terrible

You have to buy everything

Push one-sided political views

They push one-sided, biased, political views on highly complex conflicts and the present them categorically like "Discover the truth about..." without leaving space for alternative views or reflection, quite the opposite of what you expect a learning and reading platform to do. Unacceptable

Introverted Empath

That’s me! This Blink taught me that ii have an advantage even though I prefer a subtle approach to people instead of being the bubbly life of the party in the ballroom handing out business cards that May end up in the recycle bin. Follow up is an area I need to work on and that requires personal organization, another challenge for me. Thank you!
