I need to have music downloadable to my Apple Watch, similar to Apple Music or the Deezer iPhone App.

Streaming is not good enough. When I am running for example, I do not take my iPhone with me.

You could ask us to sync the Apple Watch with the iPhone to check subscription to ensure it hasn’t lapsed/not been paid for the upcoming month.
You can also set a 30 day download subscription after each sync (or the renewal date that matches payment subscription).
Even if it’s playlist sync only that’s fine. I would’nt expect to search through Deezer’s library on the Apple Watch as this would be laborious.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us @Owen_e_t we like wearables too, and we'd like to develop this bit, we just haven't had the time and resources yet. Your feedback certainly helps to move the ball forward, so once more, thank you!

@Rudi I guess the really frustrating part is that, not only has this not been implemented, but also there is not even a rough timescale for implementation. Indeed it sounds as though it’s not even been approved as a project yet? I think this is going to be something that you need to give more serious consideration to in the very short future, from a business perspective. Increasing numbers of people are getting wearables like the apple watch, and Deezer could very quickly slip out of favour. Even Spotify are very nearly there with this (though even they are behind where they should be!). This forum has been open for years, and it also doesn't look good that Deezer aren’t listening to their customers. Just saying.

Hi, @Owen_e_t!

Sorry about all that. From my interactions with the Deezer staff, they seem all really busy, though that shouldn't be an excuse for this not getting a step further (in terms of what this post is about).

I will give this a while, and if no further progress, I will bring this up with the appropriate departments at Deezer.

They got a lot of work, and I don't want them to overflow in tasks, though, I can get this considered as it is definitely something worth going for.

Music streaming should be something anyone should be able to access easily, regardless of devices they use. I fully support this post, and will do anything to have something this helpful implemented!

Thanks for bumping up this page.

I have to agree with Owen_e_t! This feature has been a wish for many years, but all we hear is that we are looking into that, we are busy etc etc. I don't get it, apple music (ofcourse) has got this working, as spotify does. In fact, if you download music in iTunes you are able to sync with the apple watch and use it without the iPhone. So the protocol is there, it seems that Deezer just isn't interrested in making it work. And that is to bad, to put it mildly.

Hello @Sander-Tmobile, long story short, we had a Questions-Answers session on the French Community, during which our superusers got to meet (online :mask: ) some Deezer staff members from various teams, and this was one of the topics that was discussed. This is obviously something Deezer is not only considering, but working on too. Our teams have been busy studying the technical possibilities offered by the device and chances are they will be able to work on the development of a standalone app during the next quarter.

You’ll find more about this Q/A session on this (long) article. This is something that was tested with the French Community, which is smaller than that one. The outcome was so positive that we’re planning to do the same with the English-speaking Community as well :slight_smile:

Hey,

I decided to take apple music for 3 months. in the meantime I will wait and see if you will offer the function and if not, I will switch to apple music. especially annoying that deezer does not become discrete while this has been going on for so long. then there will be no excuse left!

Hello, I have an Apple Watch series 5 cellular and I want to know if I can listen to the music of my deezer on the watch without having to have the phone nearby, call Apple and they tell me that if it is possible that when I access the application on the watch, it you connect through the internet and therefore is it possible to listen to music without problem?
thanks
