Blinkist

The Blinkist is now available as a free download on Google Play for Android owners. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download.

For ensuring consistency with the device you should take into account the following app compatibility information: 4.0.3 and up
Bottom Line: For more information about Blinkist check developer Blinks Labs GmbH`s website : http://www.blinkist.com

Fantastic app for those who want to read more books but don t have time The developers really need to change the pricing model though You can t charge 12 months upfront payment The first two books you recommended discussed how people can t afford to eat healthy due to income shortcomings the way we eat now and quit like a millionaire and you ask me to shave off 80 euro after seven days of using the app Please consider changing to monthly subscription Thank you                     Maxik 2008

Really interesting app at the free tier offering you a new book summary every day A major downside is that the app often has trouble downloading the text content and this happens frequently enough recently that it s become very irritating The summaries hit the right balance between in depth and over detailed so the content itself is fine Well worth trying out assuming that you don t run into the connection issues that I keep encountering             David Ferris

The service and content are good but the app is worse than herpes It doesn t remember where you stopped playing content it doesn t know if you have listened to something or not when you download from a list it takes you to the top of the list each time you click to download Has anyone who built this app actually tried to use it It drives me a little more insane each time is use it I think by the time I have finished my yearly subscription I will be passing my days eating sand and screami         Ryan Wheeler

Great concept Compared summaries to books I already read Great summaries Another one page summary at the end including Actionable advice What I don t like is the style of writing sometimes empathizing blinks all the time I would prefer a more neutral style that is maybe more closer to the book and it s structure The app has a few bugs but nothing serious Not copiable or highlighable text between the blinks where there is shown only one quote A dark mode would be great too                     Alexander Kerner

I am a readaholic I love reading books of different genres Yet time is always at a premium when trying to balance different roles in one s life Here is why Blinkist is my favorite go to both for relaxation and learning Light reading and heavy concepts I can choose from such a large number of options and yet get the concentrated gist in one sitting which is just not possible with a classic book Thank you Blinkist and all the people behind it I can t do without you now                     Aparna Imam

Love this app My only teeny suggestion is if you could schedule your own reminder to listen for a certain time Eg I want a reminder for my morning commute but it reminds me last thing at night Other than that i love it                     Ellen Varney

Love the app I have a 7 day free trial for premium but will be subscribing for access to all books 15 mins summaries are great written in layman terms so its really accessible More books would be great And also an ability to look back on the titles I ve read would also be good Right now my app automatically deletes the audio and removes the title from my list                 Serena Lo

The book summaries are so vague that it s almost not worth investing 15 mins listening to it I paid the yearly subscription hoping it was just the 2 books I listened to during the 7 days trial but it turns out almost all the summaries are worthless The app has a lot of technical difficulties especially with downloaded audios to listen offline         Juan D. Trujillo

Very great app It has motivated me to read more books and sparked my interest for nonfiction you can get a little summary of all the books and if anything strikes interesting then you can read the entire book You don t have to judge a book by its cover just find it on blinkist                     Urwah Shahid

Probably one of my most favorite apps on the Google Play Store It s great if you d like insights into some of the most popular nonfiction books out there but it should not be substituted for reading the real deal The key takeaways are important but what helps weave it into your long term memory are the nuances of the storytelling that is applied by the author Highly recommended app for those that love to gain insights into the minds of people with different viewpoints and opinions                     Harith K

Blinkist have a captivating collection of blinks from excellent choice of non fiction books Its always exhilarating reading here I do recommend people those have less time to read but frequently trying to find good books Summaries are phenomenal covering entire context also covering important phrases and jagrons keeping what the book has to say intact Love it                     Harshil Patel

The application works really buggy Also they promise full refund in 14 days if you decide to cancel your subscription which never happened to me Although it is a good idea this realization is messed up The support of the application is totally non responsive All I have received was automatically generated emails     Dimitar Mitev

Super handy app enables you to get the most important information of a book in a short time or better a blink I do love the possibility to listen to audio in both German and English I honestly haven t read a non fiction book in quite a while I just blink them keep up the good work                     Philipp -

Free 7 day trial WITH A 99 PACKAGE ATTACHED TO IT You know the kind I always forget to cancel before the free trial has ended I might do this with a 5 AFTER charge attached to it I m sure y all worked hard on this but I don t know if I ll like it or use it Certainly not risking 99 to try it out     Daniel Garner

Such a simple enjoyable and useful way to get the main points of non fiction books Great idea and very intuitive and easy implementation The subscription pretty much pays for itself if you blink through at least one book a month Given that takes around 15 minutes seems like a great value for money                     Yulia Plaksina

I don t usually rate apps but after consuming 101 book summaries Blinkist has definitely deserved it Great concept in combination with wonderful execution makes this the go to app for people that want to learn and improve Definitely recommend                     Hrabren Bankov

The app is great but it s too expensive for people belonging to South Asian countries So it becomes much cheaper to buy a hard copy of a book then to buy a subscription of blinklist So I would request you to release an ads version of app for those residing in South Asian countries             Rahulkumar Jha

A nice way to read books even with extremely busy schedules Edited review the app doesn t work as used to be always getting an error some thing didn t worked as expected Only once in a while the daily picks works     gayan ranasinghe

This app and the content is incredible There s so much value in this service I am not always paying I do turn it off sometimes due to budget but I take advantage of the free content as well Good job Blinkist I m restarting my service again next month                     Angel Ascencio

Signed up for the free trail Didnt extend it into a premium membership Summaries are to shallow I would sign up in a heartbeat if the summaries would be more detailed would include schamtics e g flow charts mind maps or other visualisations and provide reading material for 1 3 hours     Dominik Fallais

The app itself ia great but I uninstalled it after 7 day trial They only offer an annual subscription and a whole lot of things can happen in a year I don t buy apps for such a long period                     Romana Stangova

Brilliant idea for an app I can actually decide which books are worth buying and reading in full Thank you I would like to revisit some of the blinks I listened before Is there a way to access previously heard blinks                     Olga Dmitrieva

It s great as you could read or just listen to the jist of the book while driving or just before going to sleep Awesome for the moms who have no time for themselves or the patience to read after a long day                     Parul Goel Bansal

At present just using the free version which gives a book summary a day Not all subjects are of interest but many are I like the element of a surprise                     Dennis FLACK

Love how much insight you can get via the summarized versions of popular books on blinkist Value this alot as it saves the time it takes to read an entire book but still gets you the gold nuggets                     Chamathka Udumalagala Gamage

Please add audio control pause fast forward etc while reading the book It s nice to hear the audio while reading             Yassar Hanif

I simply love it it provides a lot of value and by it s simplicity and short format has led me to read books that otherwise I would have never considered                     Daniel Sarli

There is no option for finished books to be added in the playlist Right now I have about 20 books that i want to listen to repeatedly i want to add them in playlist but there is no such option There is option for books to be added in favourites or send to kindle but no option to be added in playlist 5 star if you can address this issue     Jun Gravidez

Exactly what i was looking for Well organized and smooth Would have given 5 stars if it wasn t for their subscription prices                 Bogdan Neagoe

Amazing summaries especially for how to type of books with step by step guide A bit weak on the more abstract or complicated books but you ll still get most of the main ideas Five Stars Edit Down to 2 stars now because the library is almost not functioning on my galaxy s8 I can t see my saved books Please fix this ASAP Edit 2 Library totally unusable At Zero Stars Now Fix ASAP     Duke Leepipatnavit

Love the content Irritated by the app Fantastically well curated books and content but the app is horribly glitchy Freezes daily Ugh             s njie

Blinkist is one if its own kind I was recommended by a friend to use this app Since then I have recommended this app to many others One particular aspect which needs to be improved is subscription price Many students in the developing countries like to read but cannot pay the subscription fee for these apps I will like to pay if the price is lowered All in all a great learning assistant this app is                     Mubbashir Hussain

180 down the drain The free trial and info regarding the monthly subscription is very misleading It is an annual subscription not monthly I m sure I m one of many who has forgotten to unsubscribe thinking a monthly fee wouldn t be too bad and you could cancel at any time     Jessica Bright Avery

Really like the app but current plans are pretty expensive I hope there s a budget friendly plan for students like me                 Karina Semblante

Absolutely incomparable The best of all Learning a lot with this app at my own convinent time                     lanre oladele
