Worst app I’ve had
MeerIt 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!
1door Pev*****28/09/2025Meh book selection
MeerThe 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.2door Wan****26/08/2025Pay full subscription and get nothing.
MeerI 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?
1door Le *******04/04/2025Updating your library…
MeerSuddenly 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?4door Edg****20/02/2025Reklame
MeerIch würde nachdenken, ob eine Reklame mit Elon Musk tatsächlich eine gute Marketing-Idee ist.
1door Sup******15/02/2025Very select options…
MeerI was told this app had a summary of almost all books, but the first 10
I needed where not on it… too bad1door Mar*******11/01/2025Unstable app
MeerI 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..
1door Y P****08/01/2025Be careful, many books are not available anymore
MeerI 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.
3door Hao***01/01/2025The books I need are nog on it
MeerI thought this app would contain almost all books. But the ones I would like to read, are not on it…
2door Mar*******13/12/2024Guidance to become better
MeerBlinkist 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 blinks5door Tea*****03/12/2024It is a trap dont buy!
MeerOmg 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
1door Ble*******30/11/2024Be aware of promotions
MeerGreat 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.4door Spo*******19/11/2024Want to like it, but…
MeerI 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.
2door Jms*****01/10/2024Downloading is broken
MeerI 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
1door Tij****27/09/2024Buggy app. Decent service
MeerThe 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.5door Wal******09/09/2024Abonnement Blinkist Pro
MeerGisteren 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.
H.Ziengs1door Cob*****04/09/2024Good!
MeerLike it, good product. Takes time to navigate through the good and bad books, would be helpful is the books were properly curatedfor their quality and whenever the reader is a lifeless AI the user experience becomes very difficult to listen. The increasing use of AI guarantees I won’t keep paying for this service.
3door Don*******29/08/2024Was ooit goed
MeerWas ooit goed, maar is door de jaren heen steeds commerciëler geworden. Eerst werden de tags en persoonlijke aantekeningen geslachtofferd, nu de mogelijkheid om teksten op te slaan in een eigen notes app voor aantekeningen. De kracht achter ‘blinks’ of ‘sparks for insight’ is dat je ergens jouw persoonlijke gedachten aan kunt koppelen. Dat vraagt de mogelijkheid tot uitwerken. Blinkist laat steeds minder toe en is een erg gesloten platform geworden. Ook de samenvattingen zijn door de jaren heen zeer sterk in kwaliteit afgenomen. De ontwikkelaar is daarin ook niet gevoelig voor feedback van eindgebruikers, waarschijnlijk wel voor die van uitgevers. Kortom, abonnement beëindigd en app gaat er binnenkort vanaf, want de laatste update heeft de mogelijkheden nog verder beperkt… niet sharing maar restricting the power of knowledge.
