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.

Flow is working great but that damn 2000likes limit is a big... No.... a very big bummer. That makes flow on a later point useless because the recommendations that flow give I can't like anymore and add it to a playlist isn't a good fix. Please. When get this limit chanced? I see this argument already for years. But the only reaction we get is. Maybe in future it chanced. 

 

How long can you say that before the team make a step in the right direction and turn that limit up.

 

Deezer is a good service flow is fantastic. But that limit is outdated.

Another situation arises when listening to the flow in the car, when there is no way to mark the track like or dislike. In this case, I suggest using the self-learning function. To do this, you will need to make another list - candidates for exclusion from the recommendations. The order is as follows: if a track is fast-forwarded without listening to the end, it is placed on the list of candidates for exclusion. If the next time he was listened to the end, then he disappears from this list, and if he was not listened again, he goes to the list of tracks excluded from the recommendations.
Of course, apply this approach only to new tracks that are not yet in the user's playlists.

Hey @Afonkin Yuriy @darkdevil1988 

Thank you for all your feedback and kind comments! We genuinely work entirely to make your experience better, and these comments are what we need.

The favourites' limit...wow...it's a big discussion, and we haven't let that go. We need to find a solution, so please bear with us.

About Flow in the car, are you referring to Android Auto? Please give us some more details, Flow is generally the best feature we have, and I've been replying to other users about the like/dislike button in cars recently.

@Afonkin Yuriy once more, your suggestions are very welcome. And I'll be passing them on to the relevant teams here at Deezer.

Hello @Rudi !
In the car, I run Dizer on a smartphone with Android and listen through the bluetooth adapter. The only controls available are track rewind and pause. Those. while I’m driving, I can’t pick up a smartphone and mark a track (like it or not offer it), I can only skip a track that I don’t like. Sometimes this track is offered quite aggressively - once every few days.

Thanks for reporting this @Afonkin Yuriy I'll be forwarding your comments to the car integrations teams. Have you checked if your car has firmware updates? Also, what's the model of your car?

The flow is great but you should show all coming tracks when on radio. It is frustrating not to see them all, especially if you could want to skip one. I would also like if flow was more to my music taste. Heard some commercial songs on it. Skipped for few good tracks etc.

Prefer listening to mix. But this is second option.

I gave it a try again. Flow lately on first day, on my several days on Deezer now.

It learned my music taste as a pro. So much new tracks, old music, my favourites. Very rarely plays anything commercial. Just my hard dance music, also outside lists and listens, unheard tunes etc.

Today I heard Dubstep music which I now like from hard dance music.

I will correct my previous opinion. Not that bad, play more and he’ll learn!

I’ve been listening to Flow for about 1.5 years. I used to love it.  Starting over the past day or so, every other song (seriously...every other one!!!) is one that I’ve never heard and don’t like. I’ve spent a large part of the day hitting the dislike button.   Did the algorithm change or something? It would be nice to set how often suggestions get inserted, have max per day, etc.?  If this keeps up, I’m cancelling.
