New logo: Explanations 💜

Please get rid of this terrible design decision that allows you to accidentally change songs while trying to bring up the now playing because there’s now a gap and the now playing bar isn’t locked to the bottom. I have no idea how this design change managed to get past QA testing. Surely this is purely aesthetic and was not a change made with actual user input in mind. There’s a reason why every single podcast/music app doesn’t have an open space here.

I WANT to use Deezer and not Spotify or something else, but it should be usable and not have poorly designed UI.

Same for me. Looking at the comments in Play Store, it's obvious that Deezer won't change their new logo at least. So they will stick with their new brand identity (at least based on their comments).

Well, I have decided to move on as well. However this move reminded me on how dependent I am on these streaming services, especially as a music lover. You can't be sure that provider X won't change anything, might it be UI, quality or whatever. So while moving on, I decided to buy more music I like in future to be more independent :-).

The new logo has the color of the peace and Christianity movement in Germany. While I don't have a problem with these ideas, the logo is too political for me when I simply want to listen to music. The old logo was much better.

Now, how can I enjoy my personalized experience with my unique taste and preferences when there is no options for any of that!  (can’t change logo, color, font, font size or arrange stuff…)  come on Deezer team, stop with this nonsense. If you are so stuck up with this new redesign, then at least let me have an option to choose a different theme or make the app customizable to my liking.  So far I am very disappointed and seriously considering canceling my subscription.

The new UI is AWFUL! – it looks like a grade school child designed it for a children’s project. It’s intolerable. The old interface was sharper and more modern, please bring it back. I would be embarrassed to recommend this new version to anybody. Looks like a joke.    

I've been a long time Deezer user and I have always found the Deezer experience superior to Spotify.

However, to me, the recent overhaul of the app is nothing short of appalling. The purple theme all over the app, the dating-app-style Deezer icon, the kinder garden style iconography and ditto font, it resonates with me in a very bad way. I feel they really took pushing all this diversity and inclusiveness stuff to the next level and a step too far. Completely uncalled for. For me it's all about the music, nothing but the music.
Add to that the fact that Spotify has vastly improved UX-wise over the past years, I really feel I have no other option but to switch back to Spotify.

Bye bye Deezer, at least for now.

Mac users have noticed it: you can’t drag the app unless you clic between the search (that has no visible borders) and the user icon

So I took sometimes to notify deezer of the issue… and the response was “Application design changes are not possible.” and a bunch of completely unrelated “solutions” like “check the antivirus”.

Of course design changes ARE possible… have you lost you git ssh key and you can’t access the source code anymore ? Jeez.

I mean WTF… if you really want to get rid of us at least pretend you care like “we’ll investigate” or something.

Post deleted. Apologies - I was mistaken.

The rebranding makes no sense, the only community that might go with it are young kids and that totally isn’t Deezer’s demographic nor will it ever be.

All you’ve done is alienate the vast majority of your existing user base with the strong likelihood of putting off  potential new subscribers as most aren’t going to relate to such a garish and shouty UI (and don’t get me started on the dating app heart icon).

I don’t get it, it’s so wide of the mark in terms of connecting a relationship between user and product it’s completely nuts!

BRING THE OLD LOGO BACK!!! WTH?🤦‍♂️ 

Can you please explain to my wife that you are not a dating app. This has caused several problems in my household and I am currently sleeping on the sofa. 

Change the logo and the notification icon for the love of relationships please. Whomever made this decision needs their head seen too.

In case anyone wasn’t aware (like me until just now) there was a new Discovery Radio feature in Apple Music added a couple of months ago that looks interesting, it’s an endless algorithm generated playlist like Flow albeit not definable by mood or genre  

Might be of interest to those in the Apple eco system if feeling alienated by the new design.

Not sure if you guys agree with me but posts suggesting other platforms aren’t really helping.

If anything, we’re criticizing the major update because we care, we love Deezer and we believe it was the better service. 

In my opinion, Deezer was superior to Spotify, Tidal, Apple music and all other streaming services; too bad the last update messed things up not to mention the obnoxious way of handling things by the management/team….

I’m sure they realized they screwed up big time, whether they’re gonna step on their ego and rollback is yet to be determined.

Keeping the pressure and constructive criticism is the only way to go.
