I was charged before my free trial ended, and customer service was unhelpful.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The algorithm is garbage. Suggestions from Deezer are limited and repetitive. No variety; I get the same daily suggestions for 1-2 genres split into 5 playlists -despite the extensive variety of my liked songs. I skip more songs than I listen to in a 'personalized' mix, especially 'Flow'.
Florox/All the Love
I really like that you can change the equaliser from song to song, the app was clearly made by music lovers. Wish there were folders for playlists & a search bar instead of alphabetical. Cons— liked song maximum of 10,000 is not nearly enough.
Starcatcher5503
I’ve used every major music streaming service—Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, YouTube Music. After all that, Deezer landed at the top of my list. Why? It’s the perfect blend of sound quality, smart recommendations, and global flavor. The HiFi audio is unmatched, and the Flow feature feels like it was built for people who actually listen to music—not just play it in the background.
