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

Overall I think this app is great. The majority of the book summaries are well done and the books are effective. I did not subscribe because there isn't an option to pay monthly at the advertised promotional rate. The available monthly payment option is double the price and not worth the limited selection of books in my opinion. Give me the promotional rate with monthly payment option and I would subscribe immediately.

I love this app. I never had patience for books, but in the same time hungry for more information. This application provides us as readers with the main idea as if we are reading a long article not a book full of repetative sentences. I don't think it is not good idea for novels as it will take the literature away from the book. However, it is perfect with that kinds of books for self-improvment, buisness, or a quick review for a book that you can invest time to read it fully later.

This app sounded very interesting and I wanted to try it, signed up for a 7 days free trial and every time I try to open a book it says I need to subscribe and pay full annual fee today, what's the point of the free trial then. I'm willing to pay the $79/year subscription if the app does what it says, but I'm not paying a year subscription without trying it first. I tried to email support and keep giving an error unseen error or something like that. Too bad, I was very excited about this app.
