What do you like best about Blinkist?

The fact that they do some work to review almost all the books you'd consider reading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blinkist?

It's surface level at best. Some will be dooped to think you've "read the whole book" but certain genres like biographies or science books have a lot of details and stories you're missing completely with any type of summary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blinkist?

Blinkist lets you listen to or read the key ideas from nonfiction bestsellers in around 15 minutes with their "Blinks." You can also get the main takeaways from podcasts in 15-minute listens with Shortcasts, or dive deeper with full-length audiobooks—all in one app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blinkist?

I can't think of anything. It does exactly what it says it does. You can get a quick list of key points from so many non-fiction books. Mabey the only thing would be that more titles would be rad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blinkist?

The best part of Blinkist is that everything is available in text and audio, so you can choose the medium that suits you best every time you log in. Unlike a whole-book summary, the "blinks" tries to give you the essence of the book in key take-away points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blinkist?

For someone who likes to read long-form content, "blinks" are too condensed to give you broader understanding. In addition, the free plan is so crippled that you absolutely need to have the paid plan to really see the value of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blinkist?

The book summaries are super complete - the ideas or important concepts from a book,

Super easy to consume content and learn. Love the app - simple to use and to star the learning journey!

Highlighting is also a great asset, remembering facts from summaries. I also use Readwise to bring all these highlights.

The weekly badges are fantastic!

Perfect for learning during long distances of commute to work, or walking [my favourite] Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blinkist?

The same intro and outro music for each book!

The reports on time spent listening would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love for Blinklist to be in Spanish. If it had a version in Spanish, it would be perfect to be able to learn in my native language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
