The content is great - minus the ai voices - but the app is clunky and getting worse. I wouldn't mind if I could still do basic things. What happened to reordering the listening queue? It used to be possible, and super useful! But for some reason, a recent update removed it 😭. Podcast apps can all do this, despite their content usually lasting >1hr. So why would blinkist remove it, when their content is all <20min? Please tell me I'm being stupid here and it's still possible.

Absolutely riddled w/ extremely annoying, frustrating bugs. I'm not talking weird niche features being buggy, I'm talking CORE features are RIDDLED with bugs (audiobook). I made the mistake of buying an annual Premium sub without using the Free Trial. You'd think for the $100/year they charge for Premium (currently $80) and the $175/year for Pro (now $140) they'd be mostly bug-free. Nope! Not only are core features bugged, but they also lack common sense quality-of-life features of other apps.

You know what... I thought this microlearning book summaries thing would be dumb. But I find myself reaching for it a lot when I'm doing a quick task and I just let it play on and on, there hasn't been much I haven't found interesting on it, and most of the readers are engaging and have decent reading voices. The platforms really well put together and the content suggestions are on point. Not sure I'd have ever gotten it had I not gotten a black Friday deal, but I'm glad I did.
