Before I leave on a trip I download a bunch of Blinkist and then when I am playing them they stop working and basically and download themselves. I’m currently at home on Wi-Fi and it’s still not letting me play one of the ones that is supposedly downloaded. When I press play it just does nothing. Please help! Otherwise I really enjoy the app but if I can’t listen to download that will be a problem.
