So here's my honest take on Blinkist: Book Summaries Daily. I've tested a bunch of book summary apps and this one's pretty solid. The 15-minute summaries are great for busy folks like me who want to stay curious and learn new things. The selection covers a nice range of topics too. But it's not without its issues - I've found the app can be a bit glitchy at times and the library, while big, doesn't have everything. Still, if you're looking for an easy way to get the key insights from bestsellers, Blinkist is definitely worth a look.

Description

Been using Blinkist: Book Summaries Daily for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that gives you the key insights from over 7,500 books and podcasts in just 15 minutes. Pretty solid if you’re into personal growth and learning new things.

Here’s what you do: you can read or listen to these bite-sized book summaries, which is super convenient. There’s also an option to download them for offline use – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful. And you get a fresh batch of new summaries every day, so there’s always something new to check out.

Look, if you’re into self-improvement and want to learn efficiently, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the app can be a bit buggy sometimes and the selection is a bit limited compared to Kindle Unlimited – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re looking to read more without the commitment.

I've been subscribed to the premium version for a couple years now, and for the price I think they should have more books/wider selection. I'd love a way to suggest...

I enjoy this app and don't have any technical issues with it. I like having both text and audio for each blink. The library feature is great for cuing up...

Awesome accidental purchase! I did the 7day trail, and forget to cancel it. But, I'm honestly glad I did. I use it all the time. They sum up books really...
