I came from Spotify that already has this feature for a long time, and I miss it.
I like to control the music of the pc using my cell phone, and it would be great if Deezer had this option.
thanks.

Hey folks! 

Great news! We finally launched it!

Please have a look on our new feature “Deezer Connect”! Where you can control your devices from your phone IOS or Android.
 

 
What will be the first song you will connect to another device? 📱🕺🏼💻

My boyfriend won’t cancel his subscription to Spotify because he can’t control the Deezer app on the tv with his phone. 

I’m French and trying to favour French businesses, but this is making it complicated.

Hi there @cloy3 @f_oste

I would appreciate the functionality as well, but should you implement it please (!!!!) don’t do this the way Spotify did, ie. one cannot opt out. It was the reason why I left Spotify. Please consider adding it but don’t force people to use it.

would be nice to choose a sonos speaker directly from the deezer app. 

Don't like the sonos app that much

thanks.

I also want to switch to deezer. Unfortunately deezer lags of this connect feature. I have used it with spotify heavily in combination with amazon fire stick and spotify app. This is really a dealbreaker for me.

Same for me...wanted better sound than I get from Spotify so signed up yesterday. Not having the remote control feature is a deal breaker for me too.  Can’t see what the issue is as you are only streaming one device at a time still. Can this not be implemented? (otherwise I’ll be checking out Tidal)

Hi @Rudi  do we have any update on the Device Discovery module? I know Deezer gets quite a bit of stick over this, I love Deezer and will remain loyal , but your big green rival has this feature and to be honest, it is a draw, I used to have Spotify years ago and it was there then!!

I look forward to some exciting news...

Hi @Stingraynl, hi @dockland_hh, hi @Shanksta, hi @Steven.Emberson we are very very sorry that remote control Deezer music on another device / Device discovery is not meeting your expectations :(

We are very sad to say that developing this feature had to be put On-Hold in light of the technical challenges we’ve been facing; our developers had been working hard on it for several months. However, we are still collecting user voices - so please make sure you voted for it at the top of page 1.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
