cancellation Blinkist: Easy Method
What is Blinkist
Service overview
Blinkist is a subscription-based app and web service that provides condensed summaries ("blinks") of non-fiction books in short text and audio formats.
The service is designed to give key ideas from a wide range of topics in roughly 15-minute reads or listens.
How it is typically delivered
Blinkist is delivered via the Blinkist website and mobile apps for iOS and Android, with account management options that depend on where you subscribed.
Subscriptions purchased through third-party app stores are managed by those platforms rather than Blinkist directly.
How to cancel Blinkist
Cancel via Blinkist website (recommended)
- Go to https://www.blinkist.com/ and sign in to your account.
- Open Account Settings > Subscription or Billing and choose the option to turn off auto-renewal or cancel subscription.
- Cancellation will stop future charges but you keep access until the end of your current billing period.
Cancel via mobile app stores and other methods
- Apple App Store (iOS): Open Apple ID > Subscriptions and cancel there. Manage entirely through Apple; cancel at least 24 hours before a trial or billing date.
- Google Play (Android): Open Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions and cancel. Cancel at least 24 hours before trial or billing; note pre-authorisation holds may take up to 14 business days to clear.
- Email or postal cancellation: You can contact Blinkist support by email (support@blinkist.com) or send registered postal mail to the company address if needed.
What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
If you cancel via the website, your subscription will not renew but you retain access to Blinkist content until the end of the current billing cycle.
For cancellations via Apple or Google Play, access typically continues until the subscription period ends according to that store's billing cycle.
Billing and account data
Auto-renewal stops after cancellation, so future payments will not be taken. Your account data and library remain accessible while your subscription is active.
Blinkist’s retention of personal data follows its privacy policy; contact support for data deletion or export requests.
Will I get a refund?
Web and Google Play purchases
- Blinkist offers a 14-day money-back guarantee for first-time purchases when you request a refund within 14 days of the initial purchase by contacting Blinkist support.
- The 14-day guarantee generally applies to first-time purchases and does not apply to automatic renewals.
Apple App Store purchases
Refunds for purchases through the Apple App Store are handled by Apple. Blinkist cannot guarantee App Store refunds; you must request a refund via Apple Support.
Decisions and timelines for App Store refunds are at Apple's discretion and follow Apple's refund process.

Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates
General consumer protections
There is no Blinkist-specific UAE policy publicly stated; Blinkist’s standard policies and app-store rules apply in the UAE.
UAE consumer protection laws require clear terms for cancellations and refunds; these laws may provide additional remedies if terms are unclear or unfair.
Practical steps and official resources
- If you have a disputed charge, contact Blinkist support and your payment provider (bank or card issuer) promptly to request reversal or investigation.
- For UAE government guidance on consumer rights, see the official portal: UAE Government - Consumer Protection.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many users praise Blinkist for high-quality, concise summaries and a user-friendly interface with useful audio features.
Some customers report responsive, polite customer support and successful refunds for accidental renewals or billing issues.
Negative feedback
Common complaints include difficulties cancelling (unexpected auto-renewals), delayed or unanswered email support, and occasional billing errors.
Users on forums also mention app bugs, confusing onboarding, and frustration when managing subscriptions purchased through third-party app stores.
Documentation checklist
What to gather before contacting support
- Account email address used for Blinkist and the subscription start date.
- Order number, receipt, or subscription confirmation (from Blinkist, Apple, or Google Play).
- Screenshots of billing entries, subscription pages, and any error messages.
Additional useful items
- Device details (iOS/Android/web), app store account email (if relevant), and the payment method used.
- Exact dates when you attempted to cancel and any support case numbers or correspondence.
Common mistakes
Missing the cancellation window
Many users forget to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial or billing date when managed through Apple or Google, resulting in an unexpected charge.
Always check the subscription renewal date in your Blinkist account or app-store subscription settings and cancel in advance.
Wrong cancellation channel and lost receipts
Cancelling on the Blinkist website does not cancel app-store subscriptions and vice versa; choose the correct channel you used to subscribe.
Also, not keeping receipts or confirmation emails can delay refunds or dispute resolution - save those documents when you subscribe or cancel.
