I've been a Blinkist subscriber for 6 years, and 4 of those years have been as a paid subscriber. The product has definitely evolved over time. I use it to assess books that are recommended to me. If the summaries are really good, I go and get the full format. If not, at least I've read the summary. They have the most extensive library among book summary apps (males sense since they're the OGs). Their podcasts are great, and their new shorts format is good for controlled bite-sized content.

Love the content but navigating the app is terrible. So many buttons don't work as expected or at all. Saved blinks management is a particular area of concern. Also closing a blink doesn't always work. In progress gets confused if empty. etc. etc. None of these are big problems to fix so hopefully we see some improvements soon.

The audio keeps stopping. Randomly a battery option appeared and I thought it solved the problem, but it hasn't and the battery option is no longer to be found. I had high hopes for this app but it's too frustrating to try and use when the audio just stops until I unlock screen and sometimes having to press play again. This is also with downloaded tiles.
