No worries Rudi. I'm no developer, but I'm I do imagine that this WILL be quite a "tricky" "feature". As far as I can see it, calling this a "feature" is pretty crude, as it seems to actually revolve around how the whole thing is set up and will require a lot of work to change it. Patience provided. Please don't let this get in the way of the very simple UI tweaks that are desperately needed though; home button and/or search function on Now Playing screen! Thanks for your own continued patience and keeping everybody regularly (and painstakingly) informed, it's very much appreciated and goes a lot further towards Deezer than you probably know.

[quote=Rudi]Yes, it means that our product teams are aware users posted the idea and may have been discussing implementation. Thank you for your remaining UI feedback [user=153186]htkblazer[/user][/quote] Hey Rudi, with Spotify devs sniffing glue lately and killing their android app, it seems the time to strike is now. Like a lot of people, my music subscription is tied to my mobile contract and its about to expire. Unfortunately, missing features like this are keeping me from switching - do you have any timescales for this yet? If its gonna be another year I'll probably limp on with Spotify for another two years.

Ah, so that's what "discussion ongoing" means? Good to hear, I'm now one step further away from Spotify. Don't let development of this hold back development of the MS paint designed Now Playing screen - THAT needs overhauled first, with a search bar, home button, artist and album direct links, and a big ol' accessible options button rather than three microscopic little dots that I need to stop what I'm doing, zoom in, and attach a precision scope and laser pointer to my pinky finger to use. THAT is fundamental and needs fixed first. It's on the ideas page.

Search option from every screenIn discussion

I have to say, most of the comments on here are overly polite with "annoying" and "it would be good if". Having a readily available home button is utterly imperative and fundamental. I don't even make pdfs without a "return to contents" button on every page. Its not like there isn't enough room for it; the NOW PLAYING page is an absolute shambles of missing functions and duplicated functions. Why do we need two options to add music to favorites or a playlist? One is plenty. Why isn't there a home button? Why isn't there a search button? Why is there text with no links (artist name, album name)? Why is the options button a tiny little three dots whilst 90% of the page is taken up by an album cover; what is this, Windows media player in 2004?? Why not make the entire album cover the menu button? Its not like anybody is asking deezer for innovation - this has all been addressed by competitors and was available prior to deezer entering the market. Deezer needs to catch up.[img]https://u

Guys it's been a year since this was posted. This isn't ground breaking stuff, you came into this market when this was already available with the market leader and original service, Spotify. What's keeping you from keeping up? Whatever it is, it's keeping a lot of people from signing up, and it's moving a lot of people back to Spotify.
