In the beginning,I was disappointed about the short reflection period, however, customer support showed understanding and helped me with a refund. I give four stars for the following reason: Blinkist can be the perfect solution for me if it pauses after each blink (or two) instead of playing all back to back as it fades into some white noise, constantly narrating for long, since I use it mostly as audio book. Each blink often consoldiates an important point the author made and deserves a moment.

I have been a big fan of Blinkist for 2 years or so, but since a couple of updates ago, it has become difficult to read and listen simultaneously. Bug: If I pause and scroll the text a bit and then play again, the audio plays from somewhere completely different, that paragraph is not even visible in the screen. Lost feature 1: The text used to be marked as it was being read Lost feature 2: I used to be able to tap a section and the audio would read that part

Hi Shavan, With our users' best interests in mind, we have decided to prioritize improvements in text quality, formatting, and navigation within our platform. This means, for the time being, we had to make the difficult decision to pause the read-along feature and focus on improving our Blinks, but it will continue to be available for episodes ...

The idea is great. The range of books is quite broad however when you look for specific area then the choice is limited. It would be good to have rating system of books. From usability perspective it's not perfect as well (small bugs like continuing other than recent book, general keyword search limited). Also way of giving feedback is limited. I would love seeing many books being removed as they are just too shallow/basic and just create unnecessary noise in search for something useful.
