I live in israel, but i don't wanna see songs in hebrew. only in English. My account is in Englise, but i still see songs in hebrew. When i go to "popular" i see Israeli singers. i don't want that. i don't like israeli music. so how can i set Deezer to show me music like i live in the US?

Hello Anja.
Really sad to now about the mobile app. The way people rely more and more on mobile devices every day it's odd thinking the app is a reduced version of the web player and will continue this way.

Will post on the music forum when I find awkward music combinations.

Thanks.

Hi thee, we've already passed the feedback about the missing hear this on the app on to the team. As of now, it's intended to not have in the app, but maybe this will change in the future :)

Regarding two artists with the same name, this is something that happens sometimes and we really appreciate this feedback from users. If you can think of a profile, would you mind letting us know in the music forum? We will let our music team straight away and they can fix this easily :)

Thanks Shannon! It seems some other people are having the same issues I am. Deezer was better in the past and lately things seems to be getting worse/broken.
Lets wait and see if they get it right.
Quite off-topic but the mobile app is an example of what could be improved having the same web app features. "Hear this" is one of the features that never worked well on the mobile app and now it doesn't exist any more in favor of some awkward playlists based on artists I like that actually get it all wrong. It seems Deezer is trying to add Pandora like features but it's a bit far from getting it to work correctly. It's easy to find mixed salsa and rock songs from two different artists sharing the same name, so things seems to be sorted based on the artist name and not on the music itself. Hope they can get it working right as it's a very good idea!
Cheers!

@GuilhermeO hmmm this observation might be linked to this. Check the discussion out, it might already answer some of your questions 🙂

Hi Anja, thanks for replying.
I have thousands of tracks, artists and albums flagged as favorites in a very specific style so I don't think my account lacks this information. Maybe it’s a bug or a momentary problem, Anyway, it's quite annoying when it happens. I keep clicking the "x" when I dislike something that is playing but sometimes a group of
5 or 6 songs keeps playing in a loop no matter how many times I click on the "x" for those songs.
Hope this can be fixed...
Thanks!

Hi there 🙂 You can't disable it, but there's a workaround. First of all, the recommendations and the Flow are based on your favourites, favourite artists etc. If you still see country charts in your recommendations, I assume you don't have enough tracks, artists for Deezer to pick from and recommend the right music 🙂 So if you add more tracks and artists and also dislike tracks that don't suit your tast, Deezer will learn fast :)

If you like charts from other countries, I suggest you check our out "country Charts" channel 🙂

Hi @charlimmelman, Deezer will always suggest playlists with music popular in your country. But our Flow and also the recommended playlists in your notifications should show playlists based on your listening habits 🙂

Hi there.

Is there a way to disable Deezer automatically curating music based on my location. For example, in South Africa, we have a wide cultural divide. It is pretty irritating to see a whole bunch of music which is completely unsuited to the taste of someone who identifies more with mainstream, international music trends, as opposed to locally produced music, which is meant for a completely different audience.

Thanks
