Replacing noise with knowledge

This is honestly one of the best app purchases I’ve made this year. I’ve been trying to replace my time on social media like TikTok and Instagram, and using Blinkist instead has been such a positive change. The amount of knowledge and the content it offers with the book summaries is amazing—I feel like I’m learning so much!

I’ve started playing Blinkist while I’m working instead of listening to music, and it’s been a game-changer. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I’m so happy with it.

One small feedback: it would be great if some book summaries were a bit longer—maybe around 30 minutes for those that have more in-depth content to share. That would make the experience even better. Please, Blinkist team, keep adding more and more titles. I absolutely love this app!

Great concept and content but the app malfunctions a lot

In the three weeks I’ve had the app, I haven’t once been able to get the my library page to load. So once I finish a blink it is difficult to retrieve it later. And because they are so short and punchy I really want to go pack over them at times! The ‘my library’ page is always stuck on a pageloading status when ever I click on it, and it has never once opened for me!
Another glitch that is very disappointing is a that when I am playing a blink and I click on the icon for its text summary, it never gives a summary of the blink I am reading, instead the content given is always from a different title entirely (which I’ve read before) and it has no relevance to the current blink.
I have tried to click app support here from the App Store however it take me to a Blinklist page that says, “UH OH. THAT PAGE DOESN'T EXIST.” I give a lower review because I wouldn’t have expected these types of functionality issues in app I’ve paid for for. I hope the team reads this and can make some quality improvements please.
