Our rating and reviews speak for themselves:

Trevor: “Blinkist by far has the best book summaries when compared to any other provider in my opinion. It’s really surprising how much information you can get so quickly and easily with this app.”

Brandon: “Excellent app. Book summaries are concise and accurate.”

Jared “Worth every penny. Wasn't sure about short book summaries, but started with books I'd read already and very satisfied you get the main ideas. My benefits 1) I get inspiring/useful summaries of books that I wouldn't have time to read that are far more useful than other sources. 2) There are books I don't agree with and wouldn't invest time reading, but reading the blinks I get a large variety of ideas and further understand other views. 3) Some blinks are so great I just have to buy the book!”

Ratings and reviews

In the app you can not undo highlights. Once a text is highlighted, it remains highlighted for good. You can not list your highlights either. You need to flip through all the pages to find, what you marked. I asked the support team, if there is a way, but I got only the auto reply, with a link to the FAQ, which does not touch on this topic.

I am enjoying the app so far. The idea of summarized books is appealing to me as someone with very limited free time. I wish there was a monthly payment option as opposed to a yearly one. I probably will cancel my free trial before it's up because I would rather try it for a few months before committing to a year.

I love the wealth of knowledge In the app. I love the audio reading option. I don't like how saving Blinks to 'playlists' works. it saves generally, and you have to go into your pool of saved blinks and manually add each one to a collection. I mainly listen to blinks while I'm doing work and can't touch my phone. it would be very nice if this feature was streamlined like most other platforms.

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.
