I just noticed that the scrollbar that should show up when I start scrolling does not show up anymore on playlists. I see it in the following screens: Artists, Albums, Playlists (the screen that lists all your playlists). But any playlist that I go into, has not scrollbars.

same for me - i hope this is just a bug and not intended.


It happens on my phone too. Smart playlists work fine, including Daily, Discovery, New releases, and Your month in music. This bug badly affects my personal playlists only on the Android app.


This. It’s maddening that I now have to scroll manually rather than just zip to the top of the list to add a song (first world problems, I know)


Same here. Anyone found any fixes yet? Have no idea why this feature would be taken away.


Same here, that’s quite annoying, hope it’ll be fixed soon !


An answer from Deezer:

This option was lost due to the implementation of a new technology that does not include the fast scroll bar. From what I understood in the discussion among developers, it is a limitation that affects other apps using Android Compose as well. We are testing alternatives, but we do not have yet information on when we will have this functionality back.


Thanks, @awesomemac. It’s unfortunate to see the Android app take another step back. Hopefully the devs will find a good replacement. Kind of wish that the implementation waited until the replacement was already figured out, but oh well.


Hi @bdsa, just a quick update: the "Scroll button" will be available again in the next Android app version 8.0.19.


I wonder when this release will come out?

 

I was thinking of cancelling my deezer subscription if they continue to make the UI worse.  Appreciate @bdsa for creating the thread!


If you want and are interested, you can always sign up for Deezer beta. This one is a bit further and the scroll button should work again.

Sweet, I did this and the scroll bar is back!!!

 

Once you have thousands of favorites, it's not really optional.

 

Thank you!

IT'S JUST CRAZY

Like how could they push an update that DELETE the scroll bar?? Are they not thinking about user experience??? How can I go through my 1156 songs playlist without that? I just switched from Spotify to Deezer and I don't know what to do anymore.. Deezer was already bugged enough when I jumped in (the cast function from my phone to my Home Cinema works very poorly compared to Spotify). Now this is the cherry on top.

The only alternative left for me is probably Apple Music but I've never been in the Apple ecosystem and I don't want to start being part of it.. Damn it Deezer fix this god damn scroll bar, insane


The scroll wheel is back for favorites in the beta, but it is extremely hard to "grab" compared to the past.

 

I had a lady over last night and wanted to play some tunes to set the mood, but it failed me 10+ times, even after I removed the case.

 

@Deezer devs: Can you make it grippier?
