Blinkist: Big Ideas in 15 Min - Latest Quality Issues

Terrible and a scam
The book summaries are terrible - use at your own risk because they do not capture the main points of the books at all. Clearly AI summaries that majorly miss the point. Also they took my money for a YEARLY subscription before the end of the day on my last trial day and refused to refund my money even though I immediately cancelled. Must be the only way such a terrible app can make money.

Great when it works. Many times books won't start playing, it feels laggy when sliding back or it might not even register sliding back etc. In general it feels not optimal UI-wise.

The app is worthless because of all the AI voices. Such an unpleasant thing.

Ok at most. The summaries just repeat sections of the book. It's almost like the writer of the scripts doesn't actually understand the concepts being portrayed. I find most to just be a waste of time, they can't replace a full book like in their advertising. Use it to decide on what book to read or listen to and for revision. Also, I'm not sure it's worth the money even at that.

Great app. However, one shortcoming is it really drains the battery on my phone, way more than other media apps.

Very shallow and oversimplified summaries as if the listener's level of intelligence is on the verge of stupidity, and narrated with intolerably saucy narrations.
