  • Great service. Needs an archive function

    Absolutely love this app. With so many non-fiction books hitting the shelves every week, it’s hard to keep up. This service allows me to glean what I need from a book in about 15 minutes and move on. Or if I really like the ideas and want to learn more, I can just purchase the book later. Blinkist is a great way to sample the material at the very least. With that said, I would like to see the developers add some kind of archive function, so that I can save books that I liked and come back to them later, while keeping them separate from blinks I haven’t read yet.
  • NOT WORTH IT!!!!!

    Over priced and they lock you into a ridiculous annual subscription. Crap app and mediocre book summaries at best
  • Great Hack

    Most Nonfiction books start out as ideas written articles and then turn into long stories. Blinklist cuts out the stories and gives context in a third the time. Awesome
  • Love this App!

    This has become one of my go-to apps. It enables me to efficiently get the key point nuggets out of personal development books without having to read 200 to 400 pages. This app is a life saver for those of us wanting to grow professionally while also handling all the other life responsibilities.
  • Resilience

    Resilience is the book I needed to read. I did and it confirmed my thoughts on my life and what I need to do to succeed. Also, it gave me some other great pointers that didn’t occur to me.
  • Very useful

    I don’t always want to read an entire book. Very useful for titles I just want a quick summary of.
  • App stops after every chapter

    By Sonyazzzzzzzzz
    I was intrigued by the idea of getting summaries of books I want to read however my first day in the app tempts me to cancel my free week entirely, to avoid forgetting to cancel. The app will stop after every chapter so you’ll have to open the app and press play every 5 minutes or less depending on how long it takes to summarize a chapter. This is problematic for me because I listen to audio while I wash dishes, clean my house, cook, or drive. I can’t be bothered to babysit my phone every moment. Please fix this, otherwise the app is entirely useless to me.
  • Great useful app

    I love reading and listening to these book summaries. I often buy the books that are most compelling after reading the blinks or listening to the simplify podcast. Overall, I'm into it.

    But you don’t find that out until after you give them your email address. That’s all. BTW One book a day is free.
