Reviews of Blinkist

  • Just Okay.

    I’ve been hearing about Blinkist for a long time. They advertise on some of my favorite podcasts. After 4 months and about a book a day (sometimes more) I’m ready to write a review.
    Summarizing books in 15 minutes, sounds like a great idea right? Well as a teacher I can tell you that I’ve read elementary school book reports that are better summaries and do a better job of laying out the main ideas.
    Also, the over use of AI is evident. I know that some of the books are read by an AI voice bot but I’m starting to wonder if some of the transcripts are created by ChatGPT because they read very much like the work my students are turning in that was AI generated.
    I was really done with this app after a couple weeks but based on all the great reviews I went ahead and got the year subscription. Wish I hadn’t…
    But it’s not all bad. The app has been great for revisiting older books and concepts I’ve read but needed a refresher on. I would not rely on this to “learn” but as a refresher it works great. Also, I think it’s useful in discovering what books not to waste my time reading as a few books on my reading list were eliminated after listening to their summaries on Blinkist.
    Overall, if you’re using this for a review session it’s great. I will also mention the Blinkist podcasts are well produced as well. But if you want to learn something new, skip this and ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to write you a summary. It’ll be just as good.
  • Such a great way to boost your insights.

    Blinkist has been one of the greatest tools and finding the nuggets hidden within the short blinks has enabled me to digest the information on walks, before/on quick meditations, or on a quick break at work. Such an invaluable tool! Thank you again for all of the information you make available. I had a trial and within the full app, there are so many selections from so many genres. I still utilize the free blink a day daily. My challenge to you is for a week to utilize the free blink of a day to meditate on what it was on to help retain the information received then take some quick notes or bullet points to remind you of the golden nuggets, book title, and name. Do this for a week in any chosen area that you want to develop in and do an experiment with it all. I strongly believe you will be hooked and strongly anticipate exploring the full app. Thank you again for all that you do there on the Blinkist Team! It is deeply appreciated!

  • PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

    I have been a long time user of Blinkist. I absolutely loved the app and have always liked learned little nuggets of knowledge along the way, and even picked up a couple books for deeper reads. BUT, recently they updated the UI (user interface) on the Blinks themselves and it’s atrocious. I don’t know what the design team was thinking. Instead of a clean page that you scroll down for each idea and swipe for the next page/chapter, which was clean and minimalistic (and not distracting), they instead put a non removable HUGE and annoying bar in the bottom which you can’t remove and shows you were you are along the book. Instead of swiping to the next chapter, it’s just an endless scroll to the bottom which I hate. I like that type of design for articles online, but for book summaries which are longer? Absolutely awful. There should be an option to opt out or stay with the old UI in the setting menu. That way, people who like the new design can stick with it vs scaring away loyal and older customers. Just give us options please
