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

Overpriced for simply summaries but they have the largest selection of books in their market. When they're not going over the top trying to relate to the reader, plus sound effects in their audio version, their highlights are a fun, intresting snippet of many books, especially new ones. The free blinks are the best and I've made a routine listening on the way to work. They're not however full summaries, by nature they exclude much. I'd like to see a better/cheap way to buy/rent the full version

W/this app, I get the main ideas from many books in a shorter amount of time than reading/listening to the full book. I like that I have the option to read &/or listen to the Blinks. There is other helpful content from professionals in various fields too. From a technical perspective, I have had issues with casting from my Android phone to my Google Assistant. The Blinks start off playing well but then they randomly stop casting and return to playing on my phone.

Great app , but could use a few upgrades. I've really enjoyed reading the condensed versions of several books, including ones I've already read to get an idea of the "blink" process. The one thing missing, though, is the ability to highlight and create a notebook of the ideas that are really important to me by title. I'd love to see something like this such as what Kindle has.
