I was also at first disappointed with the recommendations, but you need to learn Flow.  Play play play, everything you love and give hearts to your favorite songs and playlists and albums, add as many of your favorite artists and play play play and ban artists you don't like and Flow will soon catch your note.  I am very satisfied.  But you have to make friends and devote time to it.

Yes, indeed. Let it learn.

On first day lame, now it is much better than Google’s Feeling lucky which was okay, but always played same favourites over and over and over again. On Deezer I hear new tracks, new favorites, old classics over and over and over again. Today I paid ONE YEAR in advance for this great service.

Pay 10 months and get 12 months is their annual discount. I paid years for Spottily and then GPM receiving no discounts for loyalty. This is my new home for hard dance music since 29.06.20.

They gave me option to keep 2 months I already had trial. They suggested next time I need to cancel with them, go free, and buy annual again with discounted prices unless they give better ways.

I like flow, I like mixes, this service is good bargain at 99,90 a year for this amazing quality.

It works like a charm when something is great.

This is great, worth to pay.

First of all flow needs back button.Also algoritam for finding songs is very bad. I can never find new songs that like how can i reset it. But the worst is that I cant return a song that I like. ALSO DEEZER IS AT THE MOMENT NOT WORKING IN CROAITA WHY DO WE PAY YOU.

 

Hit here, we already added the back button. What device and app version are you using? About the new songs, please check our Discover flow, it's pretty good!

What do you mean about Deezer not working in Croatia? Any error message?

Thanks

i would like to know how the algorithm is working? at the moment it is recommending again songs that are only different versions of the song i already didnt like. or if i already liked one song, it can recommend same song again, from a different album. and i also dont like that it is recommending my already liked songs, if i want to listen them, i go to favorite tracks. i hate to listen the same songs all the time. algorithm is not good. and it would be nice to choose that dont recommend this artist never again (if it is bullshit, as most of them are what it is recommending). and the back button is not working on the flow mode. great app anyway. altough it has one flaw when i try to scroll the song. too many times it will sweep down the view because the interaction point is too close to the scroll bar.

I agree with the main criticism of Flow - it simply relies way, way too heavily on favourites. It should be scaled back to the point where perhaps 1 in 10 tracks comes from favourites and the rest is all new stuff.

 

Perhaps the main issue is that Flow is trying to be too many things to too many people, and disappointing everyone thanks to impossible expectations. Deezer should just create a 'New Flow’ that is exclusively new music with zero favourites, and then the regular flow would be less of an issue with how favourites are weighted.

 

Flow is also doing something with regional popular tracks being accounted for, and that is a disaster imo. As a South African I'm being inundated with Afrikaans and Xhosa music that has zero relevance to my tastes, and no matter how quickly I skip tracks or how many artists I add to my Do Not Recommend list, they keep appearing. A user's listening habits should determine their recommendations, not where they live. I haven't had this issue with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music or Play Music.

All roads lead to Ariana Grande. I have a huge favorites playlist of +300 tracks, never once played Ariana Grande in my life....Somehow the “AI”  suggests her after pretty much any genre and even after clicking  “Do not recommend this artist”. Flow =  Adds.

My flow has gone overkill today and recommended about 100 German songs… 

I cant say I have listend to any and I keep pressing don’t recommend artist but the Germans keep coming… 

Any way to fix this…

Hi there @pbandj @Trotski444 @BrynCB

Thank you for your feedback, we've passed these comments to our desktop app team so that they're fully aware.

@pbandj when you're using Flow, have you tried changing the mood? Have a look through your favourites, it isn't supposed to recommend songs from a country you don't reside in. Let me know more and I can try to help :thumbsup_tone2:

Hello,
When I save a song to my favourites, my flow plays the same song, but sometimes from compilation albums or extended editions.
I wonder, od it could be done so, that Flow preferes the saved and downloaded version of the song.

2 Things I’d like to see in Flow (this is for desktop version):

  1. Auto scroll to bottom when next song is playing.
  2. A switch that would make it so that flow only suggested new songs - prevent it from suggesting songs that were already played.
