Meh content. Free trial a hassle to cancel
I tried this only because of the free trial. Note that your CC will get charged for the full annual premium price immediately. I tried 4-5 of the most interesting ones and quickly learned it wasn’t for me. Trite. Obvious. Maybe I just don’t like self help stuff.
So when I went to cancel I realized there was no option to cancel. Only to not renew next year. The promised “2 days left” email never came either. Then I became worried I’d been scammed and had no proof there was a free trial. I emailed the company and engaged with a stupidly long back and forth with an AI email bot. I finally got my refund, but it was not smooth and it felt very hidden. They really make you work for it and the AI bot sent a ton of “try this instead” emails first. Hate these kinds of business practices.
Just listen to podcasts and skip this is my advice.

Great idea. Never use it
Blinkist is a great concept. I find the readers dry and hard to listen to. Too formal and stiff. Would be nice if they presented more conversational and more like a podcast. Less like listening to someone read a science paper. I had a hard time giving it attention and soon fell off listening. Eventually forgetting I even had paid for the app. Blinkist has poor community outreach. Never once did I get a reminder, a text, an email which would have kept the app on my radar. In short, needs to inject life, interest and passion into the content. And communicate w users as an active brand. Not an invisible app on my phone I never use.

Love Blinkist
I enjoy reading, but I never have the time. It’s really hard for me to finish a whole book with my busy schedule. I usually end up getting into a book and then never finishing it. Blinkist allows me to read and comprehend books in a shorter time. I absolutely love it and recommend it to anybody who’s looking to brighten their horizons.
