Great idea but pricey

I love the idea behind this app but I think it’s a bit expensive. Would be great if customer could pay for individual books as in my case I don’t need an unlimited access to books I don’t need to read and I won’t probably read/listen to more than 1 a month.

Chocolate fireguard? Can’t tell

Downloading this app is like having a fruit pastille, but not being able to chew. Perhaps it’s more indicative of a worrying trend in App Store, whereby you need to accept a trial (and risk of forgetting to cancel, then getting billed) to test aspects of it the ‘review’ does not mention.

Blinkist is excellent, but how can the developers of this app expect to entice new users? “let the dog see the rabbit” - why not enable the audio so we can see/listen ourselves how your app stacks up?

Personally, it’s been a waste of my time as I’m not signing up to try something that doesn’t offer any value add, whilst I’m already a Blinkist subscriber. May be worth considering that.

Expensive Fee for a Limited Selection

At first I was optimistic for the app, now I simply listen to podcasts.

I liked the reading and listening feature, but there are limited worthwhile reads. By which I mean classical literature, history books and philosophy the kind of books you would expect to be condensed for such an app.

Instead what you get are history books written not by historians but by American political broadcasters. I’m hardly learning anything other than the person green lighting the audio recordings has an obsession with self-help books, woo woo books, pseudo-historical books written by quacks with the occasional article recording.

I used the request books function and I have not see any Shakespeare, Plato, or any other major writers who are long dead. The app completely lacks history books (written by historians).

If you want a few recordings of bargain basket motivational books and business tips then give them $100.
