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

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?

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

I’d like to increase UI scale, but didn’t find such ability, even via `Ctrl +`. It’s kind of accessibility feature.

You mean zooming in and increasing the font size @AlexWayfer?

Accessibility is something we're definitely in need of improving, generally. Will pass the feedback on.

Yep, zooming and font size. I do it with browser version for more comfortable view and navigation.

Amazing, @Pablo Discobar!

Great paint skills haha don't worry. This will get our devs intrigued for sure, I wasn't expecting this much detail - really appreciated :clap_tone2:

Have you tried to increase them in Android settings? Maybe they use global settings??

Gotcha @AlexWayfer but it does work on mine!

Are you on a Windows, right? The Ctrl + should work. Try clicking anywhere inside the app version and then Ctrl + to see if it works. If not, press H to get the exact hotkeys. On the top menu, on view, you should also have the option.

Used the Windows app for a few minutes, then closed it only to find that the music was still playing.

Went to settings to turn off the close to tray feature. There isn't such a setting.

NO! This is irredeemably bad design! Close means CLOSE!!! And to not even have it as a SETTING?!?

FIX IT!!!

Not sure if it was mentioned but just want to get it out there, album artwork next to the songs in your/any playlist for Desktop. Deezer has been great!

In the previous windows version the app would crash randomly and regularly. I read that updating to the latest would solve this but it is still happening. I'm on 5.2.0 now and I have no way to tell if this is the latest version. It doesn't say anywhere in the app there is an update. There is no versioning on the windows store. Nowhere I can google shows a changelog more recent than a year ago.

I really prefer deezer to spotify but if i have to keep reinstalling it I will just switch back to spotify.

Hey @Anders Blirup Worm

Our devs and I agree with you. But developing that hasn't been squeezed in with the rest of the crucial things we have to do and that you also deserve.

Thank you for your support, hang in there a bit longer, we have this on our radar. For the time being, vote here:

Hey @MattNicholas thanks a lot for the feedback, quite a nice addition, right? And no, we haven't heard that yet :relaxed:

Hi @BaronVonCoco sorry to hear that, I totally understand you. The app asks you to restart when an update has been downloaded. You can double-check the version by clicking on Deezer/About.

What happens exactly that leads to the crash? Have you tried a full reinstall? (by that I mean, uninstalling the app, removing the Deezer folder from appdata, restarting your PC, and redownloading/reinstalling the app). Give us some more details here:
