Blinkist Customer Insights

1. Give me the promotional rate with monthly payment option and I would subscribe immediately.This app sounded very interesting and I wanted to try it, signed up for a 7 days free trial and every time I try to open a book it says I need to subscribe and pay full annual fee today, what's the point of the free trial then.

2. I'd love to see something like this such as what Kindle has.W/this app, I get the main ideas from many books in a shorter amount of time than reading/listening to the full book.

3. However, it is perfect with that kinds of books for self-improvment, buisness, or a quick review for a book that you can invest time to read it fully later.This app is total garbage.

4. I choose content and it plays the parts of that book fine but then starts playing the last one or two parts from books I've already listened to.

5. The available monthly payment option is double the price and not worth the limited selection of books in my opinion.

6. The app keeps telling me that I need to upgrade my account in order to access a given summary, but then when I try to upgrade my account the app says that I cannot upgrade because I already have full access.

7. This application provides us as readers with the main idea as if we are reading a long article not a book full of repetative sentences.

8. Please fix this! Then I would give the full 5 Stars this awesome app deserves.Overpriced for simply summaries but they have the largest selection of books in their market.

9. I've really enjoyed reading the condensed versions of several books, including ones I've already read to get an idea of the "blink" process.

10. When they're not going over the top trying to relate to the reader, plus sound effects in their audio version, their highlights are a fun, intresting snippet of many books, especially new ones.

11. It does seem to work fine with an internet connection but I drive a lot and live in an area with intermittent cell service.App itself is amazing! Huge variety of content, easy to navigate.
