Editors’ Notes

Who has time to read these days? We do! That’s thanks to Blinkist’s brilliant summaries of top non-fiction books. Not only are the articles packed with insight into business, culture and self-improvement, they’re designed with busy schedules in mind. Seamless switching between text and narration is super-useful on the go, and finding topics couldn’t be simpler.

Trouble: app crashes my iphone 5

I downloaded the version available for my iphone 5 but it crashed when I tried to log in with my details.
Why won't the older versions of the app work on my iphone 5?

Try dishonest

Love the books but here is what they don’t say directly: you pay per calendar month when you subscribe meaning that if you, like me, bought subscription on 9/30, you will be charged a full-month subscription per 1 day of September. If would have been ok if the had mentioned it somewhere but they didn’t. Now it seems they do it not only for monthly subscriptions but year plans too. I wonder about that trial week - make sure you sign up on Monday, the first of month or January 1. Very disappointed, will have to apologize to all me friends I recommended this app - a bunch of them installed it right away. Will be looking for an alternative.
