As already mentioned here and here a rewind or skip ahead button is desperately needed in Apple Car Play and Android Auto for podcasts. As others have also already mentioned I do not understand how this is not standard since it is in every other music streaming service I have ever used. To me, especially when paired with the fact that

1. podcasts don’t get paused during a navigation announcement and

2. that I cannot skip ads even though I’m paying for a premium subscription and

3. it being a huge safety hazard having to use the (innacurate) progression slider to rewind or skip ahead,

it seems like a must have for Deezer.

 

Because I really like to listen to podcasts, especially while on long trips, this might be a deal breaker in the long run. And trust me, I don’t want to go back to Apple Music or Spotify. Please dear developers, don’t make me go back. I’m positive that this feature would make Deezer even better and more competitive.

Am I missing something or is this forum abandoned?

 

On Android Auto podcasts occasionally even the “|<“ and “>|” buttons to skip to the last/next podcast episode. Is this being worked on? I don’t really understand why the (perfectly fine) interface on the phone app is not transfered 1:1. This would make Deezer so much better and more competitive because competeters are way better in this regard. And it’s such an easy fix at least in what’s to fix. I don’t know about the technical implementation.
