Hello @mreid133, yes that’s the case. To tell you all the story, we’ve organised with the French Community a Question-Answer session between the French superusers and some Deezer staff members from various teams, it was a success and this is definitely something we’re planning to do with you guys as well.

The Samsung wearables topic was discussed, and as I said above, a team of ours is currently working with Samsung to make this happen. However so far this project has had a lower priority over other improvements or features, and some technical challenges came up. But after the QA session and the enthusiasm that was shown to our teams, I think the chances of this happening have increased a lot.

I thought what you wrote about your kids is very sweet and interesting :slight_smile: It reminded me when I first got my Deezer account back in 2009 when I was something like 16, still have it now. Tell them Deezer says hi and thank you for their support :wink:

Will there be a deezer support for Samsung active watches within a few weeks? Otherwise I will cancel our family subscription and switch to spotify or tidal. 
Thanks for your fast reply.

Hi there @Christopher.Halverson 

Thank you for your support - please vote for your contribution here :thumbsup_tone2:

Hey @fra.mai @Katja Schmid this isn't being developed as we speak, but we're waiting for more news to see what will still be coming this year. I kindly ask you for more patience :thumbsup_tone2:

I can't believe you guys have put this on the back burner this long. This is going to end up being like the two year wait for dark mode. Lol you're music selection is great. Apparently your developers suck. I'm a beta tester and I only get updates every two months. Not to mention you say you want gapless playback yet in my developer options I've had Crossfade for over a year but it still isn't implemented into the app. Good luck guys waiting on this to come to tizen os. Slowest development team I've ever seen. Maybe in 2025 you will have support for every smart watch is. Haha not counting on it.

Let's hope it doesn't take that long @Joe.Perez :zipper_mouth:

But thank you for your honest feedback, I'll be forwarding it to the right teams here at Deezer.

This is ridiculous, I’m subscribed to deezer family. I just purchased a Samsung Active 2 only to learn there is no deezer app for it, was very surprised. I’m going to look into Spotify later.

Hey @Deejay Soulja Slim 

We wish you didn't have to look for anything else - but we haven't got this sorted yet. Thank you for your feedback, it'll be forwarded :v_tone2:

@Rudi is there any further news on this? You have direct contact with the app devs right? Can you at least let us know whether they've started, and if so, how far through they are.

The app doesn't need to be perfect, just a copy of the existing one for google gear would suffice, just something basic so that we stream audio from the watch would also be fine. Add more options later.

With the long delay to implement dark mode and gapless playback (compared to other services) its pretty hard to love Deezer.

I don't really see what more there needs to be done to other areas of deezer that warrant delaying this further.

The lack of communication, updates and constant brushing off ("we're looking into it") also doesn't help.

Give us something concrete man! please~

They have too much work increasing 2K limit (which requieres starting from 0) , song as alarm or ringtone, fix bugs, linux app, this one, etc. And now that spoty has no limits of favorite songs, I think deezer is working harder to catch competition 

Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!

Hi @captainboobles 

Sure, we understand where you're coming from, and I'm personally very grateful for your input and patience. I'm unable to give you something concrete at the moment because the team isn't currently working on the development of this. We've had serious challenges this year with the existing apps and integrations, and other things like @walker mentioned that took our resources away from it.

What I know is that we'd like to develop more wearable integrations this year because you and other users have been asking for this for quite some time. So we know it's a really cool and useful integration/app to have. We just need to finish some stuff first in order to be able to prioritise other exciting developments like this :v_tone2:
