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

I am currently on the three month HIFI trial for deezer. For the most part the desktop app is ok. It plays music and its pretty easy to listen to albums. I looked online and people have been asking for a desktop EQ for a couple of years at this point. I’m not really understanding why this hasn’t been integrated yet. It’s really turning me off from purchasing a subscription. I think I would rather stick with spotify/equalify until they come out with HIFI. Just food for thought and I am aware it might not be the companies main priority, I just have expected it to have happened sooner.

Hey @2lazytotype 

Thanks a lot for your honest feedback, I totally get you. The request exists for as long as I've been Deezer's CM, so I understand. Developing a new feature, in any tech company, is a matter of prioritisation.

It's in our scope for this year, to be honest. But we don't know much more yet because the current priority is to fix some of the current issues with the app and improve its performance and reliability. I invite you to check after your trial, after a while, and perhaps I'll be able to give you more info about a possible equaliser 

Does anyone have a road map of when the optimised arm64 architecture build will start coming out? It drains battery a lot quicker this way. Thanks

Hey @alokinanak 

Thanks for reaching out. It isn't on the roadmap yet but it's on the plans.

We're very close to releasing an updated version of our desktop app, and after that, we'll be looking to develop something that can fly on an M1 

Battery/RAM performance should be improved with the next updates, in the meantime 

I just tried the desktop app for the first time tonight, I hit the close button and it kept playing, took me a few minutes to realize you minimize to tray when the close button is selected. That's a big no no for me (it's an autism thing about unwanted noise) 

 Most programs that do this have a setting to change the behaviour so the the close ("X") button actually closes the app. 

Totally understand what you're coming from @james hifi 

This should be an option we can consider after the major updates planned for the app very soon. In the meantime, please register your support by voting here:

Hi there.

I use Deezer soon for a year.

I think generally everything is nice, but Profile seems to be hard to use on Web App.

Why it has so many tabs? You need like to click back and forth to get relevant information.

I heard that Followers feature will be discontinued, that is great as it would clean 2 tabs. However. There’s still much of them remaining and let’s face this problem. 9 tabs afterwords still too much.

Can it be reduced somehow? Perhaps add some features to other apps?

My personal opinion:

MP3’s I do not use nor need seperate tab for it.

Perhaps show option only inside playlists as MP3 playlist?

Mixes I do not use often and have only 5, perhaps keep them under playlists as another section just like you have “Collaborative playlists” or “Added playlists” besides the “Own playlists”?

Play history does not work with 40 tracks only. This could be transferred into a playlist as well?

My main aim is to say that currently profile requires too much of clicks on these 11 tabs.

Can it be worked as on Android I do not have this issue.

I want from Deezer minimalist clutter free experience and I know you can do it in Profile too.

Everything else is super fine in your app, so clutter free and minimalist.

Is there anyone here to add in this discussion about Profile UI on Web App/Desktop App?

Thank you!

As well I want to make Deezer consider improving UI of their Settings on Web / Desktop apps

.

Generally very bad decision to have almost 8 tabs where on few tabs only few to see.

As well you need to click More tab to gain the rest just for few to see.

I am coming from Google Music (discontinued) where Settings was just one page. You just scrolled it from up to down and it was as easy as that. I feel like on Deezer is too complicated as you see.

You need to go from one tab to another and as well remember to check out More tabs.

May it be improved as well, thanks.

Hey @hpguru 

I've moved your comments here so that everyone discussing improvements to web or desktop app can like your replies. Super feedback, as always!

We'll be making the web and desktop lighters in the near future, so I'm sure you and others will be pleased 

Thank you, I hope to see changes like these to make Deezer better.
