I've been using FLOW for about a year.
I have about 350 songs and dozens of albums and artists in my favorites.
The biggest problem is FLOW keeps playing the same few dozens songs. It should play at least the number of songs in my favorites plus some new songs.
A second issue is the proportion of new songs to already liked songs FLOW plays. I realize this is a matter of personal preference, so the best solution is to make it a selectable variable ("% new songs" - 0-100).

I am relatively new to Deezer, having come from Apple Music.
the flow idea is great, but it would be nice if as a user I could have several custom flows, like I used to have custom stations in Apple Music
I have a very wide taste range and would like a flow for EDM, a flow for rock, a flow for reggae and a flow for lounge for example... each independently influenced by my tastes in those genres and my choices in those flows.
Having just one flow that's trying to combine led zep, deadmau5 & bob marley into one mix does not end well.

Its amazing for discovering more and more music. But I do have a suggestion
Location
And Yes I mean location. I live in Asia for example and I don't want all my songs in "Road Trip" songs to be about some cowboy in west america. If you know what mean.
So depending upon the location where someone lives
- Put in a domestic song after every 5th or 6th song, as a surprise
- Make a department focusing on music preferences in different parts of the world and target the audience with that approach
- People like surprises so bring in their favorite tracks when they least expect them
Thanks for making something so amazing and keeping it cheap!!!!

flow is working quite bad last time, it's suggesting tracks that I was dislike many time, it's suggesting jazz, pop music but I had never like them! I'd like to be able to choose country and genres

As many stated here already it's mainly the really limited track selection of the algorithm that makes Flow seem so bad.
I maint hear songs there that I already have liked or are so popular that everybody knows them.
What would be an great addition is a bunch of rather unknown artists who could truly suprise the listener for ones. You could do so over the related artists and maybe choose some from the same genre but below 100 followers.

Mostly positive!
I love the daily and weekly playlists. I think they're the best recommendations I have tried so far (Google Music, Spotify, Tidal).
I wish the general 'Flow' didn't feature as much music that seems to be just popular and instead more of my personal tastes.

I wish flow can play music that are not already saved as my favorites so I can save songs I have not yet heard. Flow always repeat songs that I already have and that is not necessary as I can play songs in my favorites file if I want to.

I've been listening to Flow for more than a year now, and main issues in my opinion are:
- Flow is very limited/boring in selecting tracks. It thinks I might like The White Stripes, but it keeps throwing "Seven Nation Army" at me over and over again, and that's it. It doesn't try to suggest something new if I skip, it doesn't offer more if I continue listening - just the same selection of 1-3 tracks for any given artist. This also leads to next 2 points.
- Flow seems to have no respect for skipping. I don't want to dislike "Seven Nation Army", but I also got a bit tired of hearing it over and over again and skipping it each time. Especially that I'm not listening to The White Stripes (at the moment, at least).
- Flow also seems to have little respect for listening history. I have listened to all (available) Phantogram albums, and have personal favorites which I'm sure Deezer is aware of, but Flow just keeps playing "Black Out Days" and 1-2 other songs, that's all.
- Dislike feature seems to have no respect for artist being disliked. I don't like LP and I know I'm not going to listen to her. But disliking one track only leads to another one popping up, and I have to dislike that one too, and then the next one. And there's no way to dislike a band/artist in whole.
- Flow seems to require "targeted" listening to stay actual. The longer I'm listening to Flow only, without listening to specific artist/album, the more far off the queue becomes, to a point where I have to skip every second track.

to be honest i don't think it's the best, either i have favorite everything i like either it doesn't know what to suggest
i mostly listen to rap and i didn't ever get a suggestion that i liked,for example i never knew i liked Joyner Lucas but after i saw the callab with em on kamikaze i searched him up i fell in love with Joyner but flow never gave joyner to me
i don't know how flow works but if it goes by"ok this guy is into rap,what kind of rap? 90's rap ok wu tang clan it is" if it only goes by the type of music you listen to i think it done wrong,i think it should be done by
1: artists you listen to
2: what other people that listen to the same artists also listen to (beside the ones you share)ex: this guy listens to em and Joyner Lucas, this guy also listens to em and Joyner but also listens to Dr. Dre and snoop dogg, lets but in the 1st guys flow Dr Dre and snoop dogg
3: location(as in country) like seriously i live in Romania listen to some Romanian rap but i only got like 2-3 Romanian rap songs
that's all i have, hope it hopes🙂

It seems like Flow takes my playlists into consideration. I would like to mention that I sometimes build playlists for other people, mix tape style, and that those playlists do not reflect my personal tastes. Best example I can think of would be the playlists my wife and I create for my 7 year old son. I also built a playlist of 80's music for a themed party. I tend to avoid Flow.
Hi @Rob Igo that's a very good point indeed, it could be good to have some kind of setting within Flow to allow users to do that, it's something our Product Team could look at and determine if it's feasible 😉.
Hi @Mirtma you're right, Flow learns from what you listen to and have added as favorite to your library to then create "the best mix" based on your music taste. Flow should recommend you new songs, genres or artists based on what you have actively told it you like/dislike, but it's constantly learning and needs you to keep adding to your favorites.
Perhaps you should try the "Discover" playlist within Flow, as it will bring you new music you haven’t heard before that we think you’ll love 😉.

I like Flow though a few ideas:-
use location to suggestion tracks e.g. if I'm in the gym then play upbeat
use gps to suggest e.g. if I'm running then play upbeat
Otherwise it's my go to if I'm not sure what to listen to 🙂

What bothers me most is that it plays too much of my songs marked as favorites. For that I can play just that. Flow should learn from genres, authors that I listen. And then play something similar. Maybe it would be good to have some settings, like: check if you would like that flow play your favorite songs, check if you want to hear only songs that you haven't played yet ... I know, that perhaps most of listeners like only to hear songs that they already now. I would like to find what I've been missing. What is good out there (in my taste) but haven't heard it.
Thank you for asking. Hope to see some changes.

I just started using Deezer today but, so far, I am really liking Flow. It is doing a good job of finding music I like. I am unsure how Flow continues to take influence from additional music I like. Perhaps there can be a way to see what is influencing Your Flow with ways to remove or add additional influences.
I have not tried Deezer in the car yet so I may have additional feedback after I do that.
Thanks for making a generally awesome service.
