I downloaded app today and have set some things to download. I’ve gone off and left it to its own devices and now it’s saying my app is inactive and I need to restart it to continue with the download. Any help would be appreciated

    Dear Alfredo,

    Dear Deezer Customer Experience,
    Dear Tech Department,

    Dear Product Department,

    instead of being sorry, better fix the issue which is apparently existing for several years. It can’t be that difficult unless software devs are spammed with unimportant tasks. Just a little hint from personal professional experience if the team doesn’t have the customer’s satisfaction / experience as a top priority then you will leave the playing field very soon.

    Your company is expecting from users to pay the same as for Apple Music. Since you are a company which doesn’t do anything but a Music app / music platform, I would assume Deezer is much better at this than Apple. But from my view so far the opposite is true.

    The user-centric model is also not too convincing because Apple just says we’ll make the pie bigger and you are saying let’s divide the pie more fairly based on our interpretation of what is fair.

    I don’t think being aware of that is the solution and this is ultimate catch. Being aware is in any company’s interest and being sorry is damage-control and buying time and patience from customers, but fixing the issue is what keeps customers or increases the cash inflow. Everything else is rent-seeking as economists say.
    Any customer understands that.

    So thanks for the offer but I decline sincerely.

    I thought I would chip in.
     

    Let's make this clear
     

    This isn't a issue that Deezer has control of.
     

    This is a limit that Apple have imposed on iOS. Android has no issues but iOS does. So until Apple change the policy in iOS then there's no amount of fixes Deezer can do to fix this. 
     

    You guys opted to be on a restrictive platform so live with the restrictions in place

    Then why Spotify, YouTube music and any other music apps don’t have the same issue ?
