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’m a songwriter, and so I’m always interested to know the songwriters of a song.

Currently you have to click the dots then select Credits, to see the songwriters, one song and a time, not very helpful if you’re curious to know who wrote one on an album.. So it’s faster to just go to AllMusic or Wikipedia to see the credits. 

It’s be nice to see each song’s songwriters plainly on the album’s page. Or at least to have the option to list them.

If not, there’s plenty of empty space on the Queue page. on the left-side beneath the artwork, it would be nice to have the credits listed there. BTW, the album should be named there as well, in  case it’s a playlist of many artists/albums.

Please allow disabling tray icon. My Mac top bar is already swamped and it’s redundant because the universal play control exists.

Hey guys, did you ever try to drag Deezer window to reposition it on the screen in your shiny new Mac version 6.0?

If the search field is not used, i.e., there is nothing entered in it, and you try to drag the window, it is not obvious where its boundaries are. And only after user enters anything to the search field and can see its boundaries including the clearing control on the right, it becomes clear that drag area is just around the search field.

Search fields should be clearly distinguished right away, otherwise user is confused and cannot drag the window as easily as in any other good Mac app.

Hi @Endorphinity, Thank you very much for your feedback.

I've already forwarded it to our technical team.

We genuinely appreciate your input.

Hi,

Since the recent major UI change, the Hebrew font used for the web UI is so ugly, probably the default browser font(?), please fix it.
See example below:

Implement accessibility - for example, colour contrasts fail. It’s disappointing that this wasn’t even considered in the first place.

(I had posted a topic with screenshots about it, but staff deleted it.)

On mac only the red zone allows to drag the window. There’s no visual cue to separate the search bar from the rest, or the icons from the top.

Also the left bar has no draggable zone.

 

It basically goes against every app design i’ve ever encounter and it’s a bit annoying.

Can you please add a way to access artists and albums from the home page like it used to be.

A lot of us don’t use playlist, please don’t design an app with just playlist user persona in mind.

(and it would avoid 3 loading times to access artists/albums: home, favourites and artist/albums)

Log in for the desktop application doesn’t log in and this really needs to be addressed.  Clicking ‘Log In’ creates a pop-up browser window that says I’m logged in but I cannot use the application anyway.  What purpose is there for having a piece of software that requires a login that doesn’t actually log the user in and instead requires the use of the website? 

On top of that, clicking the close button doesn’t close the thing.  This application does NOT need two minimize buttons.
This is nothing short of atrocious design.
