Greetings.

I was thinking about moving away from Spotify and ready to give Deezer a try.

However, the removal of this feature and the lack of support for the Android alarm clock are blockers for me. Iโ€™m constantly switching between devices and the ability to have the current position in the current track synced is just necessary.

You have the potential to be a real alternative. UX is as important as your catalogue. Please reconsider this decision.

I will try the app for 3 month. After that delay, in absence of such feature, I will be forced to cancel my subscription and either keep Spotify or find an alternative.

Have a nice day

Hello everyone,
I have been a Deezer user for a while and I was using the Connect feature (through my android phone) to listen to music on my favorite player (moOde). Unfortunately, after your decision, I will be forced to review my plans by choosing a new provider (spotify or qobuz) to continue listening to music.
Please review your plans!!!

Thank you

Deezer was the only competitor with a comparable feature set to Spotify but it looks like you're no longer interested in providing a compelling service.

 

Really not happy about needing to cancel my Deezer subscription and go back to Spotify but this is the decision I'm being forced to make, and I don't think I'm the only one.

End of support for Deezer Connect 
 

Our goal at Deezer is to create the best listening experience by providing features that bring the most enjoyment to our community. Sometimes, that means having to make tough decisions, like letting go of features that no longer serve our listeners. 

The remote control feature, also known as Deezer connect, allowed users to control their music playing on one device from another device. We understand that many of you found this tool useful. However, in order to dedicate our resources most effectively and provide the best possible experience to our users, we have decided to discontinue support for the Deezer Connect feature.

We appreciate your understanding and adaptability to these changes. We are so grateful to the users that enjoyed the Deezer Connect feature and we know some of you will miss it. But don't worry, there are still other ways to listen to Deezer across all of your devices. If you need any help discovering other options, please don't hesitate to visit our devices page! ๐Ÿ’œ 

 

Wait what!! First thing I use in the day is the Remote Control!! Why Spotify offers this without any issues. I want it back!!

What do you mean with โ€œthis feature no longer serves our listenersโ€? Of course it served us! Especially with tools like pleezer which can make basically any device a Deezer Audio Device! I kindly ask you to overthink this decision. Otherwise I fear that you just give your potential customers another reason to move to the competition.

I am considering migration from Spotify to Deezer but without the Connect funcionality, it has no sense to me.

HiFi and hand-curated playlists are not for everyone, but thank you for considering deezer as your streaming service and for stopping by.

Is this why the Garmin Connect app no longer works? Comes up with a forbidden error message trying to go to connect.deezer.com. 

Is there any plans to reintroduce a working Garmin app?

The story of a failure. It never worked as intended. I truly hope for Deezer that Spotify HIFI doesnโ€™t come out. It will be painful to watch if it does.

Spotify is an overpriced podcast ad caroussel to me

I have noticed a theme that whenever a company starts a statement with โ€œ Our goal at [insert company name here] is to give you the best [whatever]โ€ you know that they are going to shitify their service. Itโ€™s probably a licensing or other money issue but itโ€™s very sad that they are removing this feature so many people rely on.

Horrible.. Although it didn't always work well it was a very important feature for me to control my old HTC m9 connected to an amplifier rather than using Bluetooth receivers. It's a shame the feature has been removed rather than improving it..

The moment Spotify sound quality improves, I'm saying goodbye to deezer.

Wait, what?! Iโ€™ve been trying to understand why remote control isnโ€™t available like it used to be and this is the reason? I have a setup PC-->DAC-->long wired headpones-->a chair to chill, where i can use my phone to control the playlist. And now I cannot use it as always? Just bought the HiFi and now forced to go back to spotify :(

Wow,

realized today that Pleezer (thank you Roderick!) doesnโ€™t work anymore. Installed it a while ago on my linux homeserver to remote control music playback. Worked flawlessly for me. Donโ€™t now if i will continue my subscription. Really sad...

Switched to Apple music. Recommendations arenโ€™t worse, but interface is much better and lossless hi-res is available.
