Hi

Please consider to add the option to search from every screen on the Android app . Now I need to navigate to previous pages multiple times just to search for something . It's inconvenient.

Thx

Hey, it seems like this topic has been out for quite a few months already but there's still been no implementation of this feature. Searching for songs is so important. Especially when building playlists and also if you've migrated from another platform.

If you wish to retain new users I would suggest implementing better navigation within the app. The bottom bar should always be visible, per Material Design guidelines for Android. And Search should be an easily accessible function. And even when you have your search results, like you to go an artist page, then you click on their discography and then on an album and play a song or add it to a playlist, it should be one single click away to return to the search field.

I am a new user and creating playlists is a nightmare especially because of the clunky interface when it comes to search and navigation. Otherwise I quite like Deezer.

When you start navigating through artists and albums it is impossible to go back to Home in a single touch or to go to My Music, or to start a fresh search. You have to press Back and Back and Back... etc.

Hey Felipe, moved your suggestion to this existing one, take a look and vote for it to be implemented 🙂

This is the one thing I'd love to see!

I often end up clicking through multiple artists and end up having to do 30-odd back presses just to return to the home page.

1. When you do multiple searches navigating through similar artists, discography, songs (normally when you are creating a long playlist or a queque list), the only way to come back to the "home, flow, my music, search" page is to click several times the back button, which is quite annoying. It would be useful to have always an home button.

2. When you have a queque list, it would be nice to have a "delete the queque" button. The only way, now, is to delete the tracks one by one.

Hi there @cowardlycustard

Thanks for the feedback!

@Cioffy thank you for your input. I've moved your comment here so that you can support an existing idea. And for point 2, please check this topic here 👍🏼

I have to say, most of the comments on here are overly polite with "annoying" and "it would be good if".

Having a readily available home button is utterly imperative and fundamental. I don't even make pdfs without a "return to contents" button on every page.

Its not like there isn't enough room for it; the NOW PLAYING page is an absolute shambles of missing functions and duplicated functions. Why do we need two options to add music to favorites or a playlist? One is plenty. Why isn't there a home button? Why isn't there a search button? Why is there text with no links (artist name, album name)? Why is the options button a tiny little three dots whilst 90% of the page is taken up by an album cover; what is this, Windows media player in 2004?? Why not make the entire album cover the menu button?

Its not like anybody is asking deezer for innovation - this has all been addressed by competitors and was available prior to deezer entering the market. Deezer needs to catch up.



I'm beginning to think the Deezer "development team" infact has a forename and a surname and perhaps a little too much annual leave attributed to him.

I think the problem is that when you navigate through pages, buttons disappear and you won't see them again unless you click so many times back button.

Main buttons should be always there.
Astell&Kern Norma SR15 + Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEG + Sennheiser HD 598 + Sony WH-1000XM2 + Sony WF-1000xm4 + own 2249 Hi-Fi/-Res Tracks + Deezer Freemium. Let's play!
