I have just discovered blinkist. What other amazing apps am I missing out on?

Just that. Thank you!

Is this just an ad for the app you mentioned? As you haven't said anything about it, are you expecting people to look it up?

No. On a thread about self help books someone mentioned blinkist. I think it is great. Wondered what else I was missing out on.

So what does this magical app do?

Ah ok, you might want to get the title changed so people know it's self-help apps you are looking for. I use headspace quite a lot and actually the YouTube app has been very useful for streaming yoga videos and meditation music. Depends what kind of thing you are after.

Yeah but what does this app do?

I tried it a while ago and didn't think it was very useful so deleted it.

The app summarises non fiction. Fiver a month. Not just self help. Anything really.

I love Evernote - it’s a note taking app but I have it on my phone, iPad and laptop and it syncs across all of them so I always have what I’m looking for. I basically use it to keep track of my whole life!

My other recommended apps are What3Words which is more generally useful rather than life changing - it helps you identify your precise location, Dr Greger’s Daily Dozen which helps you track healthy habits, and Spotify.

I also used to have IFTTT which helps you automate various things on your phone which can be quite helpful.

Just a bit of advice OP if you want people to help you out with something then you need to give more details. From your terse replies it’s like getting blood from a stone! I still have no idea what kind of recommendations you are after..

OP, do you also have a secret way of losing weight that doctors don’t want us know and that I can find out by clicking a link?

Or want to find out my astronaut name by taking my mother’s maiden name and combining it with my first pet’s name?

Isn’t that what Wikipedia’s for?

Dont see the point of that really

What purpose does that serve?

Why so vague? Why is this like trying to get blood out of a stone?

Sixty quid a year for an app that 'summarises fiction'?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

Yes! I love Blinkist! Best app I've ever come across. Share the love

Pocket is great too

It's not just self help, it's all types of things.

What is hkinkist?

Haha

I mean, goodreads is free.

An app that summarises fiction would be rubbish
This one summarises non fiction. I think 60 quid a year is cheap

Knowledge for people that can't be arsed to read?

I find it cheap and can listen literally for hours. You plug in your preferred topics and a list of summaries is generated. You can read or listen. I listen while I walk or do stuff round the house. I've learned so much!

I think it won app of the year and I certainly would vote for it.
