Overall good product, but there are two simple features that The app really ought to have, 1. The ability to click the title you are currently playing and go to its front page, sometimes I want to add or remove it from my library and I have to go type in the title in order to find it and do that. 2. The ability to sort your library by topic/genre. Also would like a bullet point visual at the end of blinks to list each point, would make it easier to go back and refresh oneself on them quickly.

I like key point summaries of books. Sometimes a summary is all I need, and other times it motivates me to read the book. 3-stars because Blinkist is using AI for some summaries: I find these very hard to listen to, they interfere with my ability to focus on the content because the phrasing + lack of emotion in the voice make it hard for me to focus on the content. At a minimum, it should be transparent about which summaries are AI voices and which are human so we can choose the format.

Hi Nancy, Thanks for your feedback. We do use AI for select titles (not all of them), as it allows us to produce even more content for you each week. But weā€™ll continue to use our human narrators as well. We always appreciate hearing our users' opinions: We passed on your feedback to our Content Team for consideration. All the best, Team Bli...

For those that mention they try to cancel and it doesn't show up as a subscription under Google, beware. Had this happen to me on a different app. I downloaded one from a 'siater' app and was under the impression since I went to google, it was through them. Made sure from Google it was cancelled before the end of the trial. Next morning I got a charge for $50. I had to cancel from the website, which no one was honest about. I had to cancel my debit card to stop the thieves
