Whatever you decide, thanks for giving deezer a try. There are trade-offs with every service and we all need to find what works for us.

Best of luck wherever you land.

Not having the basic functionality of your main two competitors is a hell of a thing to have to trade off against. What exactly does Deezer offer that makes it worth not being able to use the Deezer app itself to play music?


While i will be continuing my subscription to deezer lest a better service arrives it is very disappointing that this highly requested feature is not being considered. With mass Exodus from Spotify due to how they use their money and who they accept money from i would expect a company like deezer to jump at the opportunity to implement features like this in order to retain new customers. While i understand the disillusionment with Amazon products i have had my echo dot for 8 years and frankly i cannot afford an upgrade to a sonos. Though we are a vocal few i personally have friends who have decided not to use deezer because of things like this. Users like us are looking for something that replaced an existing part of our life, not sn entire lifestyle change. Rest assured that for every person who goes through the tedious process of posting here there are many more for whom it is far simpler to unsubscribe and walk away. I do hope that the consistent feedback from the users here encourage someone to take this seriously rather than dismiss all further inquiries with what boils down to “tough luck, you can take your money elsewhere.” 


2026 Deezer do not work very well with Alexa. Yes. A 6 year disappoint.

Just been on Deezer for a few months now, loving flow. But the Alexa skill is a bit limited and the fact that I can't even choose echo devices to cast to from the app, let alone control the stream from there, really hampers it. If the Alexa skill could actually play playlists, and auto song and artist playlists properly with voice commands, the casting/controlling from app wouldn't be as important. But it seems like a really basic thing to not have sorted in 7 years. I already have a house full of echo devices so obviously not going to be spending thousands of dollars to replace them all with different devices. When I left Spotify the options were Deezer or Amazon music. Amazon music’s “station” type function just kept rehashing the same tracks from the same artists, so Flow was much better which is why I went with Deezer. But then it's this Echo integration being terrible that makes me reconsider

It seems very obvious but it's not. Moved recently from Spotify to Deezer I was surprise to be unable to stream and control music over wifi from my phone app to my 2 amazon Echo's.
I am even more disappointed to have taken a 12 month subscription plan.

I’m very upset about this too,
moved from spotify to Deezer and couldn’t remote control of my music from my phone is a shame.
Please ​@Deezer do something
