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:

I’d like a button in the desktop app to manually check for updates. Am on Mac OS Intel (Mojave).

Please add a way to see you’re recently played tracks (on the web version). It’d be nice to be able to find all the tracks you listened to in the past days in between browser sessions (I would store it in the account) so that if I’m looking for a song that I’d like to listen to again I can find it.

 

Regards,

Pietro

Hello @L4ZZA, it is possible to see your listening history from the webplayer 

Just click on the little circle on the top right of your profile and then select “Listening History”

Click on the first icon, the one with your username and your pic. 

This page will open and between “Artists” and “podcasts” you can see “Listening History” 😉

The desktop app should be made touch friendly for Windows 11.

Please add a feature to prevent the screen from going to sleep (Desktop app).

My speakers are embedded in the external screen, and I lose playback after a few minutes when the screen goes to sleep.

Three suggestions:

 

  1. The requirement to use checkboxes to select songs in a playlist is horrible. Other apps let you click and drag to select songs, but not Deezer. This desperately needs to change.
  2. Please stop using helper apps to update the desktop app on Mac. I don’t want to enter my password every single time Deezer has an update (which is often).
  3. You already have better cross-device awareness than Apple Music, which is completely dumb to playback on other devices, but the next level would be the ability to play and pause music from one source to another. So if I’m listening on my iPhone and press pause on my desktop, it should pause on my iPhone.

The artist’s main page is incredibly cluttered.

It’s very important that the discography page can be easily navigatable because it can hold a tremendous  amount of records. 

My suggestions:

  •  Seperate the discography page from the main page. The main page can have a small list of top and latest releases with a link to the full discography page.
  • The sections (Albums, Live, compilations..) should be collapsable.
    • The main album and EPs should be initially fully expanded.
    • The current dynamic expansion doesn’t work well, and you have to scroll up and down a few times for it to expand, and sometimes the other sections get expanded accidently and you get easily lost in the wrong section. Not very helpful when trying to find an old album for an artist with many many releases.
    • The other sections, like compilations, live etc.., can be very large for older artists, and should be initially partially collapsed, with  only a handful of top releases shown, and a manual expand button.
  • I’d move special edition releases (e.g. deluxe, collectors, aniversary, remastered, etc.. ) into their own section, outside of the Albums sections.  i.e. The Albums should only be all the official releases consisting of unique material. (And maybe on the Albums pages, there could be links to related releases.)
  • Need additional view modes (in addition to Grid, List):
    • Table View (Without tracks), a compact view that shows the artists, the album names, years and types in columns, and that allows sorting, and filtering.. maybe with checkboxes on the top to select which types (albums, live, EPs, compilations..) should be included in the same table.
    • Small Grid, like grid but with smaller artworks. 
  • I’d move the ‘Featured in’ to its own separate page outside of the discography page, because it can be in  the thousands, and isn’t really part of the artist’s “dicography”

If you made is this far, thanks for reading!
