No fact-checking – Blinkist: Big Ideas in 15 Min Review

This app summarizes an author's main points without fact-checking any of their claims. In today's infuriating free summary of book 'Live like it's 9/12,' the app reports the author's thesis that 9/11 united Americans across religion, race, and other identities without criticism, despite the fact that this claim is blatantly false - hate crimes against Muslims, Sikhs, and racial minorities, skyrocketed after 9/11. I wouldn't mind if the app included the author's argument with a disclaimer that it was not accurate, but sharing his ideas without correction is equivalent to spreading misinformation. As for the free features in general, the app only offers one free summary a day (which you don't get to pick) - it would be more appealing to me if you could pick what summary you want to read for free (even if it was only one summary a week.)
