Is Deezer app optimised for macOS on M1 (silicon) chip? Has relatively high CPU usage.

That’s great to know something might be happening with this @Leonídia.Deezer As we’ve had Apple Watch & HomePod  previously added, and AppleTV this week, the desktop client is the one missing thing now….

I figured I’d chime in and mention, that, while we do need a Apple Silicon optimized version regardless, you can always install the web version as a PWA to get a desktop like experience. It’s technically more secure to do it that way anyway and operates very similar to a desktop app, and can play full HiFi.

 

In Chrome this is done via Save and Share > Create Shortcut and then mark it to open as it’s own window (it may do this by default now, don’t recall). 

 

Safari can also do it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/104996

 

Again, not the perfect solution and not trying to discredit anyone’s frustration over the issue, just that there is a sort of workaround that is a pretty good experience.

Hi @planedrop, thank you for your valuable tips and detailed advice.

I'm sure our user will appreciate the workaround you suggested.

I just subscribed back and now I have a Mac is very disappointing that is not apple silicon ready being released 4 years ago, I’m regretting my purchase, my Mac constantly says there is an app draining the battery and you guested is Deezer.

I’d recommend “installing” Deezer as a website, what browser are you using? 

 

Doing this will still get you essentially the full featured Deezer app but without battery drain. 

That’s what I’m currently doing, but still, 4 years later to the party seems not good, Spotify is really good on apple silicon I wonder why Deezer is so behind.
