The concept is excellent -- you listen to a brief book summary to get the key ideas. If interested, you can read the complete book, knowing what to expect. It's also great for reviewing the books you read a long time ago. I have only minor gripes: the interface feels a little cluttered, the app loses my position, and at least some of the blink transcripts look AI-generated without proofreading. These problems, however, aren't critical.

The app is great, but customer service is terrible. I have been waiting since Thanksgiving to get a subscription issue addressed. (I purchased a subscription renewal during their Black Friday sale, and then a week or so later my money was refunded and I no longer have access to my Pro account.) I've sent several follow up emails and have gotten no response. There's literally no way to get a hold of anyone other than the one email address that is apparently unmonitored. Super frustrating.

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.
