In short
Blinkist - Always Learning is a free iOS app developed by Blinks Labs.
Highlights
The app has tons of awesome books
Thank you Blinkist team
Thank you for a fantastic app and valuable service
The summaries and overall content are great
But also gives me info on various subjects to keep me current
Great idea and great app
So basically every book you have to PAY to read
Can't find a way to deactivate the auto payment on my iTunes account
After trail ends and deleting app won't stop it
The pricing of this app is an instant turnoff
So sadly I will be deleting this in a few days when my trial is up
The audio portions of the app seem tacked on and unintuitive
