Deezer

The Deezer service is good, in theory, but delivery leaves much to be desired. The software is filled with chronic bugs, and the bigger problem is their tech support, which is deplorable. Spotify is a much more technologically advanced platform, and provides better support. Tidal is light years ahead, but my not have the breadth of audio tracks that Spotify and Deezer have. All in all, Deezer is far more trouble than it's worth. If Deezer would fix their apps and provide adequate support then it would be a worthy consideration. As it currently stands, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

So, Deezer would be getting an 8 or a 9 for this review, if it wasn't for the fact that their partnership with Cricket Wireless is a little sketchy. They claim to offer a Premium+ account for $6 per month paired with your cell phone bill. The problem is is that this is not exactly a Premium+ account, it's more like Premium Lite. Which would be fine if they actually billed it as such, rather than the Premium+ that it isn't quite. You can only pair one device (presumably your cell phone), rather than the three that their website declares. Anytime you log on to their website via PC, you're restricted to thirty second clips of the same songs you pay monthly to access unrestricted. The app for Windows 10 is slightly less restricting, but you're still limited to shuffle play of whatever playlist you're trying to access. This is dirty business and frankly, just greedy. It's a real shame that they choose to do business like this, as they have a very good selection of music. They have some very obscure stuff that I haven't been able to find on any other music platform.

As a US Deezer user for several years on the US$9.99/mo plan, I am about to jump to Spotify because of the varying sound volume / dynamics of the different pieces. I compile classical music playlists and some have become almost un-listenable without changing the volume every few songs. I do not understand why the volume varies and levels seems to change over time. Customer support does not exist. There is no social element on Deezer, which is what I really miss from Rdio going under - it was really nice in a niche area like classical music and opera. (Rdio - gone but not forgotten!)

these people are typical internet scum... I have tried to cancel my son's subscription for the last 6 months but they continue to take cash from my bank. customer support and response is non-existent. this seems to be the MO of many internet companies now. i had a similar situation with Google Play but at least they eventually had the good grace to contact me.

The variety of music is quite wide and impressive. Only limitation is that it takes longer than other apps to get new music into its database.

Playlists created on my computer wouldn't sync with the app on my phone. Anyway I tried to get help with this but my emails were ignored beyond a bounce back email. I unsubscribed and then found out that 2 payments have been taken from my paypal account. I'm very annoyed and wouldn't recommend this service at all.

I have tried over and over to get you people to listen, I am subscribed through Cricket and 4 months you keep saying I'm not!!but you take my money, I try to play my music and you keep changing it. If this isn't fixed by the 3rd of September or I will unsubscribe! And then I'll tell all my friends about your service!

Quiet bad. Lyrics are really false, download bug and glitches that are frequent. Plz solve.

Deezer allows for unauthorised copyrighted material to be available on their website. Disgusting practice for artists.
