Offline music onto WearOS devices (not on phone) needed/WearOS standalone app by Deezer


Hi guys. Just recieved my Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro four days ago. I have been trying to figure out why Deezer is so badly build for Wear OS 🤔

First, it does not have a logic access to playlists. Only if you have played a playlist before on your phone, you can play again from Wear OS. When playing you are able to acces all playlists from the play screen on the wearable - but not from the Deezer on the wearable. Very confusing 😕!

Next, before Samsung are launching their upcoming Galaxy Watch (Gear S4 with Wear OS) I really think that it should be possible to store tracks offline directly onto the wearable! It is annoying to not be able to go for a run without your (huge) phone. It was the main reason for that I bought a wearable. I know that Spotify does support this feature!! 😲 Even though it only has 4GB storage, it is plenty for a single playlist.

Make an entire Wear OS app, as everyone are launching Smartwatches based on Wear OS this summer! Even Armani has presented their collection!

Yes, better WearOS support on Deezer will be in much higher demand with the gigantic leap of WearOS 3. Please make this feature a priority!

I am looking forward to finally purchasing an Android smartwatch for the first time, with the release of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and I suspect many more users are also going tp be interested in this new gen of Android wearables soon.


I am currently benefitting from a 3 months spotify premium trial offer and am now making full use of the new spotify wearOS app with offline track support that came out a few days ago. 

Please note that this is on a wearOS 2.x watch (4 years old) and not just the exclusive wearOS 3.x only running on the Galaxy Watch 4 -

This means that there will be loads more people in my situation with older wearOS watches that will see the opportunity to finally have offline support on their existing wearOS 2.x watches (after the loss of GooglePlayMusic in Oct 2020) and use those once more at the gym/running etc...where having to maintain a phone nearby is a nuisance.

 

The main alternative which is YouTubeMusic will not apparently support the  wearOS 2.x watches -

So deezer has an opportunity here to make be above the rest  and grab onto a large user market.

If deezer is not seriously looking at this feature they will for sure miss the boat. Many people will switch away from deezer.

 

For my part, I like the Deezer live lyrics which since the loss of such equivalent service back in 2016 on Spotify (was using it from 2011-2016 for language learning) means it would be my preferred service if only wearOS 2.x+ offline support was also made available...

Until it is done , it will be Spotify fo me unfortunately..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


So more than 3 years passed and still nothing tangible in this matter? Got the Galaxy Watch 4 lte version and I love using deezer on my phone and pc and I’ve been a premium subsciber for quite a few years now but I’d really like to stream music when I go out cycling or running etc without my phone. I’m really thinking about switching to Spotify because of their standalone app for the Galaxy watch. It’s sad that there haven’t been even a short update from the deezer devs to let the users know what’s happening for a year. 10 months ago we got to know that they’re working on apple watch support. Seriously who the hell cares about Apple watch here? This thread is about wearOS not the apple watch. If you’re not working on the wearOS app could you be at least so kind that you let people know that you only care about Apple users so you wouldn’t waste everyone’s time. Thanks in advance.


Any updates/news/whatever on this?


Galaxy Watch 4 classic

Are there plans for Deezer app on the Galaxy Watch 4 classic have had Deezer premium since the start, never gave a thought to use Spotify but now when Deezer don't have a app for my new watch hmm.. hope Deezer makes the decision to create a app for the watch community.

Wear OS version was available in the past but not anymore . No idea why . 
 
 

Then it should be fixable then, it's a Google device and Spotify got an app for the watch so possible it is 😊 don't want to stop using Deezer.

 

Hope we can get an Developer to answer

Damn. So people have been asking for this for four years now and its still not done yet!? I just got a Galaxy watch 4 and every other major music streaaming app has a standalone app on the watch. It couldn’t possibly be that hard. Please deezer make it happen.

 


Also looking for a way to have deezer while running without having to carry my phone. I see fitbit can do it, but those are expensive watches… still no wearos..??


I am using a 3month free trial by spotify... and I am already convinced that this is the way to go....as I am able to download playlists to my Galaxy 4 watch and don't need my phone. Sad to be leaving Deezer after many many years.


Would like to use the app with my galaxy 5 like I used it on my fitbit ionic is there still no option for this?


HELLO HELLO!!! 

So happy to announce that you can finally download your music on your WearOS devices and leave your phone at home when you go for a run!
