    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.

    Long ago I tried to use it. But since I don’t really like apps fishing for my data, I don't use it much. 

    I want to explore new music and I don't want AI to pick always the same kind of music for me.

    Flow 2.0 was working very well for me, I good upgrade in my opinion. Now back to the old Flow and I notice more repeats, something I wish I could control in both Flow and as well my other playlists.

    Thanks @BigFKahuna we’ve gathered all the feedback from users and our devs are discussing future improvements for Flow.
    In the meantime, I’ve heard from other users that “Mixes inspired by” is working really well as an alternative to Flow; very accurate and with less repeats.
    Thanks

      Lately (since start 2022) Flow is sh*t.

      I listen mostly to rock/metal, also in my own language (dutch)

      But now flow is giving Folk singers, Apres ski music, rappers and even childrens songs just because “they are Dutch”.

      I have been clicking on “do not recommend artist” about 2 times a day for a month now.

      Same here just give an option to disable that silly mood thing. I listen to metal so my mood is always dark and not funny and flow now playing ******g schlagers and après ski crap

        For some reaon Flow has just started choosing only Ska/Regge.  Which don’t get me wrong is my favourite Genre , but it used to pay a mix.

        Hello @nipsy, please try listening to Mix based by artists from different genres, playlists, 

        going back to Flow and skipping some raggae songs, it will fix itself and propose different music!

          FLOW is an Awesome feature and works ok for me.

          I would love to see one simple thing to make Flow easier to interact with.

          Please allow users to either (Right click) on flow to Ban the song or let us simply Hover over the Flow button and then Left click on the options listed.

          For me 99% of all songs are Disliked regardless of the streaming service.

          I want an efficient way to get to the music I Love!

          Flow works pretty well, except for one huge problem that seems to have existed for 4+ years… How do I get it to stop playing Christmas music?

          I have never “liked” or “hearted” any Christmas songs, I have created 2 playlists, for Chriistmas Songs and play all of my Christmas music from them. I have tried every other workaround that has been suggested in the various posts regarding this issue and nothing works.

          I would like to continue using flow to discover new music, but not if it's going to keep giving me Christmas music.

          I like FLOW, but it needs to improve the choice of random track selections. It seems like when it’s confused it will default go to my favorite tracks, but isn’t the whole point of FLOW to be kind of a instant radio mix of the style of music.
