I enjoy the content, but the app design has flaws: (1) No option to delete unwanted titles from 'In Progress' in My Library>My History. (2) Skipping ahead in Shorts isn’t available on title slides, which play too long for me. (3) Shorts content doesn’t sync with my time zone, showing the same content from evening to the next morning. (4) In My Library>Saved, the 'In Progress' filter is broken, showing leftover results from the previous filter.

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 we’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...

good content but ... ugh. 1. can't disable audio. i read fast and dislike the narration. but you can't turn it off, dismiss it, silence it, or decouple it from reading the text. it takes up real estate. 2. can't delete an item from "continue reading." Sometimes I start it and I do not want to finish it. or see it. there seems no way to remove it from my sight. 3. don't recommend stuff to me when I just got through reading it. In sum, not a good fit for me and will delete.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. We'll share it with our Product Team. You still have the option to choose ā€œReadā€ on the front cover of each Blink to only open the reader. If you started playing a Blink and would like to switch to just reading, you can press pause on the player and tap anywhere on the screen to hide it. All the best, Team Blinkist
