Deezer Alarm function

Hi everyone, thanks for the votes! This subject has been discussed at Deezer, but there is no plan to implement this feature yet. We'll keep passing the feedback on to the right team and hopefully they will be able on work on it soon!

I'm not a developer but work in the web development world and I find this sooo frustrating that you guys haven't implemented an alarm within Deezer yet.

Your core product is amazing and I've been a partisan supporter of yours for many years, but I requested this way back in Jan 2015 when I reviewed the app and am disappointed that we are nearly FIVE years on and this seemingly simple feature hasn't been implemented yet.

You guys have built a globally successful music streaming service, and enjoyed by 100,000,000+ music lovers. Surely you have the resources to build a simple alarm clock add on, and I would stick my neck out and go as far as to say if this was marketed as a premium only feature I'm confident there more than a few people out there who would upgrade just for that, popular as it is that people do want to wake up to their own music in this modern world we live in!

Hi there @Stuart Carbery 

Thank you for your honest feedback and your huge support over the years.

Your feedback is very detailed and from the heart. I've decided to pass it on to our developers who are responsible for working on such features. Thank you for your contribution 

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for your reply & kind words. Have there been any reply from the relevant developers since you reached out to them at all?

Do you know why this feature as stuck in the roadmap without being released already? 

Hi there @Stuart Carbery

We haven't had a reply yet but the teams showed great interest - it has been tested on Android. But as soon as we have more news, we'll be sharing - it's a popular idea.

Hi All, I’m currently on the 30 day test period. I’m a Spotify premium user and have my Google clock alarm synced with Spotify. This is a feature I’d like to keep and would make me keep on my spotify premium plan.

Thank you for your honest feedback @Federico Compaired 

I'll be passing your comments to the relevant teams here at Deezer - a sync with Google clock wasn't something this topic considered before 

So annoying that this hasn't been picked up by anyone who has the authority to push this feature.

Samsung phones now come with Spotify build into their alarm clock, this may even be an android-wide feature.

Your dev op team are clearly missing a huge trick by not taking this seriously. I repeat my previous statement, an alarm clock feature can not be that difficult for your amazingly talented dev team to build into the app. Or at the least open your API to an existing popular alarm clock app that you can partner with.

Please, someone with authority who cares about user functionality, get this sorted.

Hey @Stuart Carbery 

Thanks a lot for adding to the discussion.

Frankly, it isn't the amount of difficulty that plays a big part here, but the prioritisation of this feature among bug fixes and other suggestions - with our small and dedicated development team. This idea, among others of increased popularity, are ranked in our backlog - and more support means more priority when it comes to making decisions. I'll pass your comments on so that this gets more traction too 

Hello @Rudi 

I understand that bug fixes are high priority tasks for your dev team. But come on, this thread was started 2 years ago. 

I don't want go come across rude in any way. But, from what I can see in this thread has there only been positive feedback from deezer to this idea. 

To be frank, I switched from spotify to deezer because spotify had too many features. So currently I'm very pleased with deezer. I love the "no nonsense" music service you provide. But you if it had the alarm feature, it would be perfect. 

Actually, thats the only point that holds me back from recommend it to my network. 

I hope you soon will start to work on it. 

I wish you and your team the very best, stay safe.

I voted this up 2 years ago. Why are we still waiting? Infuriating to see Spotify come up as an option when I set my alarm each night, especially as a Spotify subscription would cost less...

Thanks @CINN3R and especially Kristian @Kristian Bundgaard Hansen for the honest feedback on this feature. Sorry for the long wait, it is indeed a feature we like but that hasn't been prioritised so far. Other had more demand but as they get developed this moves up the list. Comments like yours keep the discussion alive and add to the numbers we need to justify its development to our decision-makers 

So, we're in 2021, and we're all no closer to waking up to our music as an alarm with Deezer.

Great job 👏
