Very good app. I generally am harsh on apps, but this one is good. They use an AI voice sometimes for the audio, but you know what... I guess that's the future. It mispronounces sometimes. Some of the summaries are better than others. I've encountered very little political or ideological bias. They cover books from both the right and the left. It is generally well-researched. Edit: Lately, things have just been disappearing. Where is the "mark as finished" button, please?

The latest update is a disaster for those who just want to read the summaries. No more page flips, just constant scrolling and no way to designate that it's finished. And half the time you end up with a "book" playing audio in the background even if you didn't want to. I won't be renewing as a result.

Love it. I've used Blinkist since it became available. I'd love more Christian-based business/personal development Blinks added to it. It's a great way for me to refresh my takeaways from books I've previously read or just read/listen to the summaries without reading the book. The summaries also help me determine if reading the whole book would be beneficial.

What's new

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.
