It's a good day to be an audio fan! With this update, you can now listen to our hit podcast, Simplify, right from the Explore screen! And if you prefer to listen to books-in-blinks, you can now go straight to the audio player instead of through the reader. The updated progress bar makes it easy for you to see how much you've left to read, and our new always-visible search bar in the Explore screen makes it a breeze for you to find exactly what you want.

Did you know that small changes can have big effects? In this release we made a few small but key changes which will have a positive impact on your reading and listening experience. To make things cosier, the main tabs in your home screen are now called Home, Explore, and Library. We've also relocated Search and Categories, and added space for special Blinkist Presents content and Curated Lists with recommendations from our curators to the Explore tab so you can find even more of what you'll love. The Library also got a remodel, too, with your Favorites and Highlights from the books-in-blinks all in one place.

Do you enjoy listening to Blinkist in your car? With this update, we've changed the audio settings to get rid of unnecessary interruptions. As of now, when your navigation system starts to give you directions, the book-in-blinks you're listening to will pause. It will resume playing once the directions are finished. This means that no big idea will pass you by (no matter how long and winding the road). Beep beep 'n' beep beep, yeah!

Read on (and on and on and on!) with this update. At the end of every book-in-blinks, you can find a recommendation of what to read next, chosen by our editorial team. With this release, these recommended related titles are now linked. This means that once you finish one book-in-blink you can immediately start to read the next—so you can keep learning with zero fuss.

Further, in the app settings, you can also find the status of your subscription or trial so you can easily track when it's due to renew or expire.

At Blinkist, we believe all of our users should have a seamless learning experience. That's why we're proud to announce that, with this release, we have completed the first phase of integrating VoiceOver in our app. This VoiceOver integration means that the Blinkist app will be able to talk through its functionalities so everyone—including people with visual impairments—can easily navigate the app and access the big ideas in our library. The final touches of this integration will come in the next few weeks.

Sometimes you just need to keep going. Fix the small things and forego the fanfare of the big announcement. So it is with this update, which comes without fireworks, but should mean fewer crashes. Where do we go from here? A good Blinkist starting point is Breakfast With Socrates, Robert Rowland Smith’s romp through the history of ideas. And why not follow up with Coffee Lunch Coffee by Alana Muller?
