User Reviews

Blendle offers a strong concept with wide content and useful audio features, plus a clean design and cross-device sync. Repeated drawbacks are reliability issues (audio bugs and crashes) and billing frustrations (credits vs subscription, credit-card requirements, and cancellation concerns), which hinder a consistently smooth experience despite the content’s value.
Pros
  • Great concept for accessing news from a broad range of papers and magazines.
  • Wide selection of content, including articles and audio.
  • Nice design and easy-to-navigate reading experience.
  • Sync across devices and offline access for reading.
  • Audio features (spoken articles) add value.
Cons
  • Audio playback bugs and instability (stops, loads older content, requires keeping the app open; issues persist across updates).
  • App crashes or fails to load/read articles.
  • Pricing model is confusing: credits vs subscription and perceived limited unlimited access.
  • Billing/account hassles (credit card required to create an account; cancellation issues and charges after trial).

Ziet er goed uit. Gebruikte Pocket om artikelen in de cloud te bewaren en is niet meer nodig. Blendle synched mjjn leeslijst netjes. Zou nog mooier zijn als ik, in de leeslijst op de android app even naar beneden kan swipen/trekken om de synch te refreshen. Maar zelfs op pc/browser bewaarde artikelen verschijnen in .de app Nog even getest met tablet in flight mode en de bewaarde artikelen en gedownloade tijdschriften zijnte lezen. Heel netjes.

I really like the idea and previously the App was working fine. However, for some reason it does not show any articles in the "for you" section anymore (Browser and App). Already wrote the support couple of weeks ago (which seems to understand English only). No response yet. Seems like they are not concentrating on the German market anymore and have some other focus. So I spent all my last credits on some articles fearing that the service may be completey be stopped at some point.
