Live the music with Deezer 💜

Considering Tidal like never. Spotify UI is a clone of the current Deezer UI.

As with many people, i am not a fan of the heart icon. The previous icon represented a music app much better but i am devasted that i can no longer shuffle between all my playlists in the app - this was the reason i am with Deezer in the first place and something the other music apps did not offer. Please bring that back and never remove it from the desktop version. If this is removed from both then i’ll definitely go back to Spotify where i have collaborative playlists with friends.

In the desktop version i do not like that i have to click on Favourites and then Playlists to get to all my Playlists whereas the previous layout was much more direct.

The new font is so mid. Take me back!

I’m sorry, but this new UI is so terrifyingly ugly. There is not ONE THING in it that I can say has improved -- worst yet, I can say that everything has gotten, in fact, worse and way, way, WAY uglier. This looks like an app for kids, man. An app for kids with a dating website logo on the front. What the fuck.

The Fortnite font is by far the worst offender. Seriously, open a serious album. Do it. Open an album like TPAB by Kendrick Lamar. A deep dive about the roots and branches of racism in America and its effects on the Black community, paired with that stupid logo looming over it. Now pick a violent, gritty album -- The Plugs I Met, by Benny the Butcher for example. An album filled to the brim with talks of cocaine, murder, crack cooking, prison time, a painting of nothing but blood, despair and drugs -- getting paired yet again with that stupid fucking font. Now get a romantic, sexy, moody album like Promise by Sade. These beautiful melodies and stunning voice, yet again with this idiotic Fortnite-like font over it. I’m sorry, this doesn’t work with ANYTHING besides some radio shit like Ed Sheeran or the Top 50 Billboard! If you told me yesterday I could have gotten so mad and disappointed over a font I’d call you crazy.

Such a drastic change to such an ugly, ugly redesign. Everything looks so crammed together and so square-ish and full of sharp edges, but the pause button and the icons are all rounded, there is no consistency in the UI. When you open an album, oh my God… That cover taking up half the screen, paired with that stupid fucking goddamn font, and all the tracks are jammed together and the little album covers next to the track titles looks so weird and small… even the heart you put next to the songs they somehow managed to make look worse, it’s insane…  The playlist in the Favorites section look too big and the liked songs look miniscule, the colors are ugly and that stupid, stupid, stupid font is plastered EVERYWHERE. Every “100% (artist)” playlist has it, and it looks WORSE!! The Flow looks WORSE!!! And also, EVERYTHING IS IN ALL CAPS!!!!! 

The old font was, honestly, nothing to write  home about. I never thought too deeply of it. But that’s exactly what it should do. It should just be a font. It fit with Michael Jackson, as it did with Drake, as it did with Pink Floyd, as it did with Westside Gunn, as it did with Teddy Pendergrass, as it did with Radio Top 50, as it did with any song, album, artist or podcast I’d ever think of listening to. But this horrendous, horrific, terrifyingly bad childish Fortnite font whoever the cursed soul may be that chose it, doesn’t fit with NOTHING. 

I loved Deezer for how slick, to-the-point, well-put everything felt. It had everything you needed right at hand, easy to understand, easy to find everything. But this rebrand is just something else, man. Looks like a mock site used in a teen commercial. It looks, with all generosity, extremely ass and outdated. I get this app free together with my cell provider subscription, and this UI might make me willingly stop using it and start paying for Spotify. Please, just make an option for the old interface back.

Worst re-brand I've seen in a while. Looks like a home-ed project rather than well thought out UI. You made the app more difficult to use and used fonts that are less legible than the old ones.

New logo is just awful. Can we meet the 3 year old that designed it? What does is have to do with music? 

Good luck with all the one star reviews on Google Play. That rating is going to plummet.

Ok, so you want to be more “social”? Then please fix this 5 year old issue so that you can use Deezer when entertaining guests who would like to add their own songs to a queue.

It’s obviously mobile/tablet-first design -- on a HD+ screen I can only manage to see a few buttons and 3 songs from the playlist/album. It’s less usable and visually more overwhelming; the extra bold font is unreadable.

The logo looks like some, erm, “dating” site. I am honestly ashamed to keep it pinned on a work laptop.

Wow, the autoscrolling on the Android app on album pages is also really annoying. Can that be disabled as well? I’m pretty capable of scrolling myself, thank you.

If apps on my phone work and do what I want them to do, I rarely update them and only manually. I liked Deezer a lot and yesterday I got the message about the new looks. “The app is great, the design is great, they know what they are doing so let me see the refreshed version!” -- I thought. What a mistake!! I’m so angry with that update. 

I hate the new version for the same reasons like many others here. I literally can’t stand it so I don’t know what I’m going to do about it. Years ago I switched from Spotify but now… I guess I’ll just switch again. Egh...

The choice of font in any application is not just a matter of aesthetic preference; it's a crucial component of user experience and functionality. The new font choice in the app's redesign significantly undermines this. Legibility is paramount, especially in an application that presumably gets used frequently and for varying durations. When a font has issues with legibility, kerning, and spacing, it directly impacts the user's ability to navigate and utilize the app efficiently. For example, the word 'Home' appearing more like 'Nome' is not just a minor inconvenience; it can lead to confusion and frustration, detracting from the overall user experience.

A well-designed font should facilitate effortless reading and comprehension. It should guide the user's eye smoothly across the text, making the process of reading not only easy but also intuitive. Poor kerning and spacing disrupt this flow, causing the user to spend additional time deciphering what should be straightforward information. This is particularly problematic in a music application, where users often seek quick and easy access to content.

Furthermore, consistent legibility across various devices and screen sizes is essential. A font that might be legible on a desktop screen can become problematic on a smaller mobile device. This lack of versatility in the font choice can limit the app's accessibility and appeal, potentially alienating a portion of the user base.
