Terrible. I thought I had cancelled their service in writing, but my account wasn't canceled, and I was charged for the whole amount.
I strongly requested a FULL refund for this order and cancellation as soon as I saw the charge.
They replied and said they were happy to issue a refund, but, they offered me $30 which I never requested. I said FULL REFUND and not partial refund. I told them NO I wanted the entire refund.
I haven't heard back from them and I have written many e-mails to find out what's going on.
I will be reporting this to my bank, because I was offered a refund, but was not issued one. Frauds.
If I could allocate zero stars, I would do so. I was FRAUDULENTLY charged $79.99 for a subscription I did NOT authorize!! I am not even enrolled in a trial!! This will be placed in dispute, and will NOT be paid!!

I love the audio summary of books. It is so organized. There are 1,000 titles in different branches of knowledge. However, we need reductions or membership offers. They rarely offer reductions unless you leave or cancel your membership.
Great app, but needs to go into more detail with the Blink summaries and also slightly increase the length of each summary to cope with the added detail. Hopefully I will increase this to a 5 star. Love the app and I’m passionate to help make it better.

They are in the business of STEALING YOUR PRIVATE DATA and SELLING IT to other SPAM and SCAM companies. They do not react to communiaction to remove your data and email address from their SPAM list. BE AWARE. Best to protect youreslf from this lot from the beginning and NEVER SIGN UP, not even for free or for a trial.
Even after contacting the company several times via email and Google Playstore they will not stop spaming you. Once they have your email address and personal information they sell it off to other companies and you are a victim to SPAM and SCAM forever.
Their product is also pretty bad. I have listed to the audio files for a while but they become repetetive and boring. You actually do NOT LEARN from it. It is too short and simple and therefore just NUMBS your MIND and nothing else.
Blinkist is one of my favorite apps. It helps to save time and to get the idea of a book in 10-20 minutes. It really helps to broaden outlook as I found useful to listen for books that I would never read in real life.

Dear Blinkist Team,
Just giving you all a shout-out in appreciation for your platform. I’m so glad I came across this app. It’s ideal for gaining insight on the go.
Keep up the GREAT work.
Kind regards,
Joel
I wrote to support to suggest some enhancements. I got a “thank you” and a picture of the whole Blinkist team. That was a fun, pleasant response.
Downloaded an app, started a Trial, cancelled it 10 minutes later in Subscriptions and deleted an app. Was charged $79.99 after 2 days for yearly premium I never authorized..
Their customer support failed to cancel my subscription upon request. I was charged and refused refund. Money grabbing organisation. Avoid.
This is by far the greatest app I have ever encountered. It is no exaggeration when I say Blinkist has COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE!
Blinkist has opened entirely new vistas of thought, knowledge and opinion, of which I’d never dreamed. From zero to expert in under 15 minutes! Now, thanks to Blinkist I can be the most interesting person at any dinner party!
TOTALLY AWESOME! Thank you sooo much Blinkist - please keep up the excellent work!!!!
