As a guy who used deezer for years; why did I switch to spotify last year?

Hi there.

I really appreciate some of the features Deezer implement. Such as tagging the AI generated content, being able to customize the favorites tab, monthly recap, etc. But, the things that I mentioned below made me give up on Deezer.

  • Lyrics. God, this is probably the biggest issue for me. LyricFind doesn’t get the job done for me. And now, they are struggling with licensing issues and their capacity to provide lyrics is worse than ever. And Deezer doesn’t consider making an agreement with musixmatch, so… I know musixmatch has a separate app and can be used that way, but it’s not efficient. I don’t like that way.
  • This is probably gonna sound unimportant but anyways. The “most popular songs” section on the artists’ profile is completely irrelevant and wrong. And it changes everyday. Even worse, we can’t know how many streams the songs have, which leaves totally clueless about the artists’ songs’ popularities. I like to get to know new artists by looking at their most popular songs but Deezer can’t get the job done. But Spotify does…
  • Now playing screen looks bad. It doesn’t please my eyes. I know, the color picking algorithm got updated recently. But, it works EVEN WORSE. I’ll attach a few example screenshots.
  • The app looks unnecessarily static. Spotify has canvas and videos. Youtube music has videos. Apple music has animated album covers. Deezer? Nothing.

These improvements can easily make me a subscriber again.

Hi ​@Tarık Alp Onar !

 

Thank you for sharing everything that missing on Deezer and you want it to improve. 

Deezer is actively working on improving its platform.
As a user, you have the right to choose the streaming platform that suits you best.
At the moment your choice is Spotify, but you may come back to Deezer again 😀
