Blendle gives you unparalleled access to the best journalism that’s out there. From the moment you wake up, until you’re ready to go to bed.

Leider ist Dt. als Sprache nicht verfügbar. Woran liegt das??? ### 1/5 — Konto wurde von Blendle gelöscht - Guthaben nicht erstattet *2023-12-07, version 10.2.1* Blendle hat sich aus Deutschland zurückgezogen und einfach bestehende Konten ohne Ankündigung gelöscht. Guthaben wurde nicht zurückerstattet - auf Nachfrage per Mail wird nicht reagiert. Edit: Laut Antwort von Blende auf die Rezensiom wurde im August und September in E-Mails auf die Möglichkeit der Erstattung hingewiesen. Auf meinem Antrag zur Erstattung vom 1.10. wurde nie reagiert. ### 3/5 — App really changed while I wasn’t using it *2023-09-25, version 10.1.2* Years ago, I enjoyed being able to pay a little to read individual articles. Then I didn’t open the app for years until now, and I found that my account (and the few dollars I had left in it) is gone, and all the suggested articles are in a language I can’t read (Dutch?) I’m giving this app three stars since I used to like it, but it’s no longer usable for me. ### 1/5 — Only in Dutch? *2023-09-24, version 10.1.2* I used to be able to pay for articles from U.S. newspapers and magazines. Now the whole App is in Dutch but I’m not in the Netherlands. Is this even the same app? I’m not sure what happened to the money that was in my account before and how I can get it refunded. ### 5/5 — Top *2023-09-08, version 10.1.0* Erg clean, fijn om door te bladeren, en top functies om offline te kunnen lezen ### 4/5 — Tof, maar mag wat Vlaamser *2023-09-05, version 10.1.0* Er zijn wel enkele Belgische publicaties, maar het mogen er wat meer zijn. Nu is 90 procent Nederland. Verder toffe app, werkt goed en best interessant! ### 4/5 — Good, could be better *2023-05-17, version 9.16* I’m generally pleased with the quality of articles, although I wish there were a wider assortment at times. I like having one place to find articles of interest from different sources, and the appearance is good, so it’s a nice reading experience. My biggest frustration is topping up my balance. Despite what the faq’s say, there is NOT a “Wallet” menu option that allows me to add funds within the app. I always have to go to the website & log in when my account runs low. I have checked, and I have the most updated version of the app, so I’m not sure why the faq’s claim there’s a way to do this when there isn’t. ### 5/5 — Toller Überblick übers Weltgeschehen *2023-05-06* Die App ist toll! Warum? Weil sie mir die Möglichkeit gibt, ein Thema aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu beleuchten. Sie erweitert meinen „SPON-Horizont“ und lässt mich internationale und nationale Ereignisse in verschiedenen Entscheidermedien, die auf unterschiedliche Art Stellung dazu beziehen, bewerten. Ich bezahle gerne für die einzelnen Artikel, denn die ganze Zeitung/Zeitschrift würde ich mir oft nicht kaufen. Außerdem lädt die App zum Stöbern ein und ich habe nicht das Gefühl, in „meiner“ Themenblase stecken zu bleiben! **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Glad to hear you enjoy our app :) ### 5/5 — Tolle App, faires Handling *2023-05-01, version 9.16* Ich bin begeistert von dieser App. ### 4/5 — Lesen, was mich interessiert ohne die ganze Zeitung zu kaufen *2023-04-23* Gute Artikelvorschläge passend zu meinen Interessen. Selten mache ich von der Geld zurück Garantie gebrauch. Aber wenn ein Artikel fast nicht lesbar ist, weil ganze Zeilen fehlen oder an falschen Stellen wieder auftauchen: statt sich zu ärgern: „Geld zurück“. Läuft problemlos. Prima! **Developer response:** Hello, we are glad to hear that you enjoy using Blendle so much. Enjoy reading! ## Frequently asked questions about Blendle ### What is Blendle?
