Release Notes – Android – Blinkist Support

Requires Android 4.1 and up

Version 6.0.3 – September 24th 2018:

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?

Version 6.0.2 – September 5th 2018:

It’s always a good idea to keep your Home neat and tidy. That’s why we’ve removed the Activity feed where you could find new releases. If you still want to see the latest titles in the app, check out the New section via your Discover screen. We’ve also squashed an audio bug! There’ll be no more problems playing audio from the app, even when it’s in the background. Happy listening!
