      A one day trial and then they want £60 to continue. Are they mad? It's an intriguing idea but I need more time to evaluate. They say they can't offer a monthly subscription just yet but this is codswallop, it doesn't take much to set this up especially with the payment plans already in place. They are choosing not to do this in a desperate dash for cash and this makes me not trust them at all. Avoid
      Ruben Kvamme
      An amazing app I believe is the best at what it does. Though I still have 3 reasons for not giving it 5 stars. 1. No monthly subscription, not everyone wants to commit to 1 year subscription.. 2. Quantity, surely working on that, -consider following Gatesnotes books, and other major influential book readers. 3. Comment sections would be a great contribution to the app, people who read the books can come with useful points and/or discuss content. Otherwise, keep up the good work!
      Ricardo Alcala
      Cannot use app after trial subscription. Cannot cancel subscription either. If I get a single unwanted charge from you you will hear from me... won't be fun... UPDATE: As I was suspecting, I will be charged. The suscription was made twice so I was automatically charged for one phantom subscription. Be careful, they hook you up with a free 7 day trial but do whatever is in their hands to charge you for their crappy service. AVOID!
      Jennie Grön
      Did the free trial but the app was buggy. Afterwards I just wanted to read the one pre-selected book a day, but that didn't work. Instead the app forces you to a "choose your 7-day free trial"-screen that you can't escape from. When clicking it, the only thing you can do is start a paid subscription.
      Timo Lohenoja
      The app keeps cutting the audio. Starting a new book takes really long time. After three blinks the app stops working. Controls are unreliable while playing the audio beyond three blinks. Nice concept, but the five star content is very limited. I paid for the year, but due to the functional limitations of the app, I don't feel getting the service I paid for. Please fix the mobile app ASAP.
      Jukka Yrjönen
      Audio keeps cutting off and notification controls stop working. Nice concept and excellent UI. Trial 24 hours should start at first play, not at startup. Still evaluating the value of upgrading, but the free version could give one ANY listen instead of the given one.

      Rated down for quality of App. Especially when you want to listen via audio, while driving your car, and with live map navigation running in the car. The moment I switch from blinkist app to google maps, the app hangs, and audio stops. This is even for downloaded audio. So not a mobile data issue. Please fix bugs with the audio mode, when the app is put into background.

      Great product. But you guys are ridiculous with your yearly subscriptions. Is that a reflection of your lack of confidence in your product? Start offering monthly packages and a lot more people like me will sign up. And yes I know you have a trial but no, not paying upfront for a year!

      Stephen Mc May 22, 2017
      Too short on book summaries. They miss a lot of important points; in many cases, they should double the summary length to capture poignant points made in the books. Just not sure they're REALLY reading the books or notating them effectively. Also, some of the readers are super annoying or unenthusiastic, making it hard to listen to even a 5-10 minute book summary.

Thanks again for the feedback. Team Blinkist

      Amazing idea, horrible execution. I know you guys need money but can you do that through ads? I read the first page of three "blinks" and got locked out of even finishing the books I started. I might buy in the future, but for now, I hate this.

      This is by far the most useful app I've come across in a long time. My only gripe is that it's constantly stopping as I use it. Not for streaming, it just stops. The audio can be loaded but it'll just stop then crash then I have to start the chapter over again. Extremely extremely frustrating. Extremely.

      Nader Hajjar May 29, 2017
      The concept of blinkist is great! I love that I can listen to a free book a day. The app isn't too great though. It seems to stop playing the audio of the book while in the background, sometimes constantly. When returning to the app I have to go back to bring me to the page I was at, then hit listen to audio again. Which can get really annoying to do when you spend more time getting the audio to play than the length of the book itself!

      Content is great! But fundamental work needs to be done on the audio side of the app. For some reason it breaks Bluetooth often. You can't keep audio running whilst browsing the app for more books etc. Would be great to enable a "queue" for multiple books you want to listen to. Its an extremely expensive app. I have paid for the premium but do expect a lot more development to take place if I am expected to keep this payment up.

      Increase subscription period to 10 for trial, and 10 for each successful refferal. Your rating have decreased to 4.0, doing that would help. App is a bit buggy, and have problems when playing audio.

      Cory LaFleur May 18, 2017
      I rarely leave a review but this app is worth it. As a frugal consumer, this app is worth every penny. I love the UI and content. It's now my morning ritual to read a summary when I wake up and then listen to an audio summary on my commute. To those on the fence due to the price, I've found it has saved money, time and focus for me in just 2 months. As a person who downloads 2-3 audiobooks or Kindle books per month, I often find myself stuck with books I dislike or get bored with. With Blinkist, I buy the books I truly want to invest my time and money in. This frees by e-book shelf of waste. Now I can skim books I'm curious about and only buy the best if I want to go deeper.Thank you Blinkist team, I love your work!

      It is one of the finest apps I have come across in recent times. The stuff is beautifully designed. The voice part is absolutely stunning. I just went with a one day trial thereafter I could not continue due to high subscription cost. I would suggest you to give a weeks trial period multiplied with a lie cost subscription cost.

      Good concept. But very expensive. If they charge monthly, it would be still good. But they are greedy, trying to charge big yearly amount. Uninstalled.

      Great idea. Way too much expensive. Make an option for one time purchase with a reasonable price

      One of the amazing app in recent days... Instantly I am in love with it... First time I wrote a review for an app in playstore... I couldn't resist... That much I admired it... Subscription is bit high but that's fine... Knowledge is priceless anyway...

      Hi Hasnain - Thanks for your comment. While on the free trial you can choose what you read and listen to, and once the trial is over you can read and/or listen to one pre-selected book-in-blinks per day which is listed as the Daily Pick in the mobile app, and can also be found here blinkist.com/daily. Hope this helps. Team Blinkist

      This is pure scam. Have been charged within my trial period. They state 30 day refund, but this is a lie. You cant refund when paying via play store. This made me truly sad.

      This app is useless...Why?? Because the subscription fee is too much high that you can't use it.Atleast bring monthly subscription or you can play ads on your app to earn money.

      What's New

      We all love a little clarity, right? Now, it’s more straightforward to download audio you’re excited about! Just tap the download icon. Now, when you’re somewhere that the internet isn’t (like the plane, or under the sea, or deep space), you can filter for offline listening so you’ll find only the audio you’ve already downloaded. Happy listening!
