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.

i think the flow feature needs possibility of user customization. using the flow i get the impression that the flow plays every day about hundred same songs, and most of them is from my favorite list. i want to use flow to find a new music that basics on my preferences, but the more tracks i have "liked" the less new tracks the flow plays, it plays always what I already heard. i think a good idea to customize flow to play or not tracks from user favorit list and to limit tracks repeat in flow once per day/week/month. this will make the flow really fresh

Hi there @MadMadMad 

Thank you for your feedback. In order to improve your Flow, check some tips on this topic here.

And in the meantime, have you tried your Discovery card on the homepage? It's more dedicated to fresh new tracks and it changes every week. It's a pretty cool feature :wink:

Thanks for the answer @Rudi. Yes, I already read that topic before writing. And I tried using Discovery, it’s not like Flow, it’s like a playlist that contains tracks that are not like my preferences

I’ve noticed something about flow that is getting a tad annoying.

I have a lot of favorited albums, but not many favorited specific tracks. Flow seems to only want to play the first track of a given favorited album, which seems like an odd decision to me — doubly so because a not insignificant percentage of first tracks are intros or preludes. There’s a whole tracklist’s worth of stuff to choose from, flow! I believe in you!

Flow might be choosing album tracks based on popularity, since it’s only logical that tracks will get less popular the later in a given album you go. If this is the case, I would encourage a little more adventurism in this department.

Thanks for the detailed feedback @tjgavlick I've passed it to our Flow developers :wink:

Have you checked your Discovery card on the homepage, close to Flow? It's changing every Monday and it might offer you some cool stuff you haven't listened to yet :thumbsup_tone2:

 

Update: Our developers confirmed that we generally take the 3 most recommended tracks per album. Your feedback was very welcome :relaxed:

I, like many others, love many genres of music. And I have likes/playlists reflecting that. But Flow just mindlessly plays all genres I like - and THAT DOESN’T WORK, as any DJ will tell you. Even YT know better and serves up similar tracks in genre/feel.

Give us an option to select genre of flow music please.

That option already exists @Maven303 you need to click on the little angry face to open the menu to change mood :wink:

Hello! The fact that you have hidden the function of changing your mood under an angry face is misleading. This should be an independent icon, as the action is quite neutral and not colored by negative emotion.
And especially thanks for adding the ability to completely block individual artists.

Hello!
I read almost all reviews about flow before writing my own.

It seems to me that many questions will be removed if there is an opportunity to indicate what percentage of new tracks will be offered.

The second wish is to exclude duplicate tracks from the sentences that are already marked as favorite. Many artists have the same song repeated in different albums, and I can mark it again as my favorite one and get several identical songs on my list, but it is limited.

And the question is - what is the reason for limiting 2000 favorite tracks? Can this amount be increased?

And in conclusion, I really want to thank you for the service itself, I really like it. And especially the fact that he lives and is constantly improving thanks to such feedback. Thank!
