Blinkist: boek samenvattingen

It’s all right. I however doubt that it’s worth the money. Most of the books are self-help books; of course, that’s the cheapest to make and summarise, and therefore maximise profits. It’s really unexplainable that books like Harry Potter and LOTR aren’t in the app. I was exciting and anxious to dive into the selection of books; but it was ultimately disappointing. I won’t be renewing the subscription

And loading… and loading.. and loading..etc. Re-install didn’t help. Pro account is worthless.

It doesn’t work, I can’t get/pay the offers I’m given. When I do pay the app doesn’t get my payment so I can’t read the book I started. And the help centre leaves you hanging and doesn’t respind to my questions…. Don’t do it!

The app has some really nice book summaries yet most of the books are ‘selfhelp’ meaning, redundant words put on paper. Also the personalized ai summary will take a 150 page book, generate a 5 minute ‘summary’ skipping most of the context and ideas.
I like the idea, i just don’t like the actual app.

I recently bought a Pro-premium subscription but I can’t access the full library. An email to the support department is still unanswered. Hopefully a review can make a difference?

Suddenly the latest app version available on iOS 15.7 is broken as the My Library shows a modal pop-over stating “Updating your library…”
I’m not able to upgrade my iPhone. Too expensive. Am I now stuck with a year subscription I cannot use or will this be fixed?

Ich würde nachdenken, ob eine Reklame mit Elon Musk tatsächlich eine gute Marketing-Idee ist.

I was told this app had a summary of almost all books, but the first 10
I needed where not on it… too bad

I liked the idea of the app, purchased a subscription and then was unable to create an account due to errors. I see that more people face this problem, then need to solve via support mail.. if onboarding a user is so hard, imagine the rest of the app..

I saved many books that I can listen again, though about 2 months ago, many popular books were not available to play anymore. In the AD, they still promote these books (e.g. how to talk to anyone, the 5am club etc.), but you cannot play these book anymore, be aware of it.

I thought this app would contain almost all books. But the ones I would like to read, are not on it…

Blinkist is the perfect app to use as a guide and mentor in professional growth.
Dealing with toxic environments, growing in your career and defining new strategies.
All in a few blinks

Omg the summaries were so trash, don’t purchase it! Really it is so midwit you get nothing out of books. Summaries are terrible and bring nothing to you. I would give 0 stars really, Blinkist is such a scam

Great app, great blinks. Bite sized reads or audiobooks! Learned a lot over the past couple of weeks.
Unfortunately you’ll also be receiving an avalanche of promotions. Both push messages by the app and by mail. Rather annoying.

I was ready to go premium, accepting the 60% discount offer. But, I can’t login somehow (Google SSO). It just redirects me to choosing the account I want to login with. Figured to ask for help through the help functionality, but that is blocked by Google since Zendesk doesn’t comply to the rules. Ending up here now.

I bought Blinkist premium to download books for my travel to Canada to listen offline, only the app is broken and downloading does not work. Waste of money

The service is nice and useful, but it’s not a substitute for reading or listening to books as advertised. I use it as a summary of listening to lots of books, then helping me to choose which books to read and get more in-depth exploration on a subject.
The app has bugs which require it to be closed and re-opened to get it working.

Gisteren Blinkist abonnement aangeklikt, na informatie dat er een proefperiode van 7 dagen aan gekoppeld was. Nu check ik het en zie ik niks terug van een proefperiode.
Sowieso vind ik de App-store qua koop informatie zwaar onder de maat.
Ik wil nu van mijn Blinkist abonnement af en beroep mij op mijn consumentenrecht.
Graag bevestiging, dat ik geen abonnementsgeld verschuldigd ben t/m 23/9/25.
Ik reken op een snelle reactie.
