Windows/Mac Deezer Desktop/Web App - Feedback for improvements

 

Our Desktop/Web app can improve, and we need your help :desktop:

This is the space for all those improvement calls you kindly make to us when looking at how to make our desktop and web apps better platforms.

What should I post here? :thinking:

  • if the app needs User Interface or User Experience (UI/UX) enhancements, let us know
  • if the app should be compatible with certain devices or audio outputs, we're with you
  • if there's a cool integration we should consider, shout out
  • and if any feature is missing, don't forget to mention

This topic is intended for version 4.20.0 and above, and for our browser version :floppy_disk:

FEEDBACK

The “Recently played” window should automatically move the page down (to the bottom) when a new song is added, thus keeping the most recently played tracks and the currently playing song in view in the list.

Hi there @eclipse 

That's a fair point, especially considering your screenshot - it's really hard to see!

That changes according to the colour of the album. I'll forward your feedback :wink:

Thank you for the reference @_Overman passed it on too, great :relaxed:

Thanks for the feedback @Oberon I know what to do with it :thumbsup_tone2:

When I have a playlist up and plying, and say the last number on the screen is 25, when it goes to 26, the playlist does not move up:

 

When I scroll up it is easy to see what is playing because the icon replaces the number (see red circle bellow):

 

I barely ever realize that the red font is on the current track. Red is also the color of the favorites and I think my brain just skips/ignores it.

 

If I click on Queue however, the view is different. There is no number (the playlist also does not move up).

 

The issue here is then if I start scrolling up or down to find the current track, it is very easy to not see the red text at all.

Looking at the cover icons for the deezer/equalizer icon does not work either because it almost looks kind of the same to the small covers:

 

 

So I am suggesting to make that line more prominent. Increase size and weight of font, make that line totally a different color and/or use the actual deezer icon colors on a light background.

You know @kwads we've received similar feedback to yours about this. It's very important, thank you for supporting these improvements.

We need to look into these visuals this year - I'll forward your comments with screenshots to our devs and will highlight there are more users like you as well. I personally agree we need to look into this :thumbsup_tone2:

New Deezer user here. So I have a few improvements. 

Make the entire bottom bar clickable

This would make the UX a bit better instead of clicking just the queue button in the bototm

Make the entire bottom bar change color based on album artwork (Instead of the progress bar)
This makes things a bit more consistent with the mobile app

Add “Go To Album” buttons to context menu for each track

Sometimes I’d like to see the album associated with the track. There should be an easy way to do this. 

Add ability to refresh. 

self explanatory. There are use cases that this needs to be an option



That’s what I noticed after using it for a few days.

After a few days, this is amazing feedback @artistro08 thanks a lot!

I particularly like the refresh option and the bottom bar to change colour. Top suggestions, will obviously pass everything on :thumbsup_tone2:

I got a few more after using the app a bit more. I propose a navigation system like Slack’s app. See screenshot

 

 

This would give it that “polished” look. 

Also, including your playlists on the side would be amazingly awesome

Very positive feedback @jeremybonan, thanks a lot for complementing this thread :thumbsup_tone2:

We're rethinking the way we have our favourites at the moment, to see if we can develop a media library style as you mentioned. About Apple improvements, we're always trying to keep up - so these options (Silicon compatibility and AirPlay 2) should gradually developed by ou teams. I'm going to forward your comments to them as well:v_tone2:

Hello @Rudi 

It’s been five months. Did you get update from the dev team?

Best,

J

Hey J @jeremybonan 

We haven't received an update on this but they're investigating it. We're all set on finishing the big stuff we started last year (increase on favourites' limits, fixing bugs, getting Gapless on desktop) and so the other improvements will be booked in after that. Stay tuned to the community, we'll be updating everyone.

Side note: we're interested in bringing Deezer to Homepod :grin:
