Dear Deezer Team,
I appreciate Deezer's diverse content, but I strongly suggest reconsidering the integration of podcasts within the main Deezer app. Many users, including myself, prefer dedicated podcast apps like Apple Podcasts or Pocket Casts for a more focused and streamlined podcast experience.
**Feature Suggestion:**
- Remove podcasts from the current Deezer Music app to avoid clutter and confusion.
- Either launch a separate Deezer-branded podcast app dedicated solely to podcasts, or even consider a potential collaboration/partnership between Deezer, and a third-party Podcast app, apps such as:
Podcast Addict
AntennaPod
Podbean
Podcast Republic
Podcast Guru
Podurama
Pocketcasts
etc.
- Stop hosting podcasts altogether, allowing users who want podcasts to use specialized apps.
**Rationale:**
- Podcasts and music have different user experiences and expectations; mixing them can degrade both.
- Users often want the option to disable or hide podcasts, which is currently not possible, leading to frustration.
- Dedicated podcast apps offer superior features like better organization, playback controls, and discovery tailored to podcasts.
- Separating podcasts would improve app performance, reduce unwanted recommendations, and enhance user satisfaction.
Thank you for considering this approach to better serve both music and podcast listeners.
