Hi all,

We wish to collect some of your feedback on Flow, that's why we are opening a new dedicated thread for you to share your feelings on this feature.

Do you like it? Why? What do you think we are missing?

Please be as detailed as you can in your comments, cheers!

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 tried the moods thing and it operates the same, plus I don't get it, so I ignore it now. The Flow is essentially useless to me until you all get it fixed. I do look forward to a genres feature though. Hopefully it won't become repetitive.

NOBODY really gives a s%#*. Remember that and your life will be less stressful (unless of course YOU do :-)

Honestly I don't use Flow .

 Now I was read users feedback and I think that will even not try to use Flow .

I didn’t use FLOW ever once. I don’t need it. What I really need Is to control and operate my music database inside the Deezer. And after years here we are:

  1. There is no way to get notification from the artists I like. Instead, I still get notified about absolutely random music I’ve never asked. This is so ridiculous so i paid 30$ to developer who made a telegram bot that send me notification when a new album from my fav artists released, and it’s much more useful that in-app-spam-like notifications.

     

  2. It’s still impossible to rate albums/tracks that I like. Instead I have “popularity” that is completely useless. It’s even shows no number of listeners like spotify and have no sense at all.
  3. Unable to tag/comment or organize albums in more flexible way.

It’s interesting. Because I listen to a variety of very different genres, I think it sometimes struggles to find other things I might like. I get maybe ten hip-hop songs followed by a few metal songs and some random other things; the choices within areas that I like maybe don’t vary as much as I feel they should. The same songs appear too regularly, possibly my favourites appear too much too.

However, it’s useful when I don’t have time to think about what to listen to, but I skip more than I would want to.

I wasn't aware this feature exists to be honest. I was already wondering why Deezer isn't throwing in any suggestions for me. Where can I find it?

Flow? You are unaware that Flow exists?

It is front and center on your home page, whether mobile or desktop.

Give it a go. Flow is deezer and deezer is Flow.

I… I literally can't find it on desktop. It's really not there. I'm guessing it's a premium only feature then? The support page mentions it's included in the free plan.

Flow is also available for free users, but you are only a member since end of March, so maybe you haven’t listened to enough music yet for the algorithm to recognise your taste, or you haven’t added enough artists, albums, tracks and playlists to your favorites yet which also helps.

The new mood or genre based Flow feature is new though and might still be rolling out to all users, so you may only have to wait for it a while.

Thank you for the information! I'll try to add more artists and tracks!


I just found out that my phone does have Flow, so perhaps it's not  rolled out for my desktop version yet.
