Hello im new to deezer ive recently left the other popular app due to the questionable ceo, I like the sound quality better in deezer but there's alot of lacking features so far, such as being able to add local files via my phone, putting songs in a playlist more then once (which seems like a very basic thing to be able to do) the app layout is a lil weird I wanna be able to just go straight to my playlists and not be forced to keep stuff like albums and artists folders on my screen, the shuffle option is lacking too it doesnt really shuffle much, the not being able to turn off recommended songs unless on web player is incredibly annoying not everyone has access to a computer, I also think i should be able to sort my playlist in my own order not pre picked ones, the add to queue feature + the add next feature is very weird and temperamental also its the same thing?? 

Also I had to remove the app and reinstall multiple times because it kept breaking while trying to download my playlists and just wouldnt work

Overall I think the app needs a whole rework as it shouldnt be expected that we have to go on desktop to access certian features many fixes are needed as its incredibly buggy so far and I think we need way more customisation options as consumers such as the things mentioned above we should be able to listen to our music however we want as paying subscribers.

Hi, I moved to Deezer for the same reason. I think there could end up being a lot of people moving here to avoid warmongering CEOs (hopefully…).

But I agree, there are definitely some issues. It would be good if the desktop app and the mobile app were better synched. When I imported my playlists from Spotify through the mobile app, they showed up on the desktop app pretty quick, but not into the mobile app until the next day.

It would be good if there was a crossfade option. I’ve heard that’s available on iphones, but for those of us who moved here for ethical reasons and don’t use apple, we would appreciate the same option.

I’ve gotten used to the unmalleable, idiosyncratic ways of queueing music with Deezer, but when adding songs to a playlist, it would be good if the mobile app had a search option instead of having to scroll through them all to get to the one I want (I have 200 of them, so it can take a while). 

And I’ve found both the desktop app and mobile app sometimes struggle to play songs, and keeps pausing to think about it. Or my desktop app will say it’s not connected to the internet when it actually is. 

Spotify was pretty glitchy too, but some updates to improve usability and reliability on Deezer wouldn’t go astray.

Thirded, 

I have to wonder if there is a shortage of Deezer engineers given their reluctance to implement features people have been asking for for many years on these forums.
