Question

Worst mobile music app ever

I’m a pretty new Deezer user and I’m about to cancel my Deezer subscription and go back to a platform that offers better applications. First I’ll say that I have enjoyed Deezer’s PC software. No issues what so ever. But the iOS app is the worst music app I have ever used, and I have used many.

I have three issues that annoys me

  • The search function is completely useless. If I want to search for an artist or a band I immediately get the page didn’t load error with the message “This content is currently unavailable due to technical error or poor internet connection. Check your connection and reload the page.”. I have tested this on different WIFI's and even my mobile internet connection, all of which have excellent service, and I still get the same error. It’s impossible to search for anything. So if I want to download something for my offline playlists I pretty much have to add it to a playlist on my computer, for example Favorite tracks and after that I can successfully download it on my phone.
  • On the home page I sometimes want to check out the “Made for you, every day” playlists, but when I click on them I just get a blank page. Every single playlist gives me a blank page.
  • Sometimes when I’m listening to my offline playlists while being out and about or hiking with my dog I open up a playlist and find a song I want to listen to, then I click the power button to lock the screen and put the phone in my pocket, and Deezer then ends up skipping to a different song. Sometimes it happens multiple times in a row. It doesn’t happen every single time, but holy shit It’s so annoying.

I’m genuinely shocked, you’d think an app that people pay a monthly fee to use would be in better shape. I have never experienced these issues with any other music app. 

Anyways, I guess my question is; is there a fix for this? If I delete the app and reinstall it will it fix it permanently or will I continue to have these issues in the future?

 

Thank you in advance.
