### 2/5 — the queue system is broken

*2026-08-18, version 11.20.0*

pros: is not spotify
cons: the queue system is completely broken and difficult to understand. if you make a queue and decide to listen to a different song, you WILL lose your queue.

### 3/5 — Problèmes persistants

*2026-08-17, version 11.20.0*

J’utilise Deezer depuis des années polis d’une décennie maintenant et cela fait 2 ans que je rencontre des bugs sur l’application. Ponctuels et parfois absent j’imagine dû au maj. L’application se coupe en pleine lecture, parfois le problème disparaît ou persiste pour une durée indéterminée. Ce problème récurrent est toujours la malgré le fait que je change de téléphone

### 2/5 — Bad Experience

*2026-08-16, version 11.20.0*

Tried to sign up but too many hoops to jump through before u can use the app. Can’t even try it out before signing up. What a joke. Moving on to a different app.

### 2/5 — Сырое

*2026-08-12, version 11.20.0*

Приложение нифига не работает как часы. Оно полностью сырое. Вылетает плохо грузит музыку виснет. База песен да больше но это не оправдывает сами баги и глюки программы. Прошу решить проблему с проблемами в загрузке   и вылетом приложения. Так пока максимум 2 звезды

### 3/5 — Flow?

*2026-08-10, version 11.19.0*

So much random stuff on flow. It’s hard to correct my algorithm.

### 2/5 — Mon avis

*2026-08-05, version 11.19.0*

De fois sa bug et parfois pas de paroles et pas bonne traduction

### 3/5 — it’s alrightt

*2026-08-05, version 11.19.0*

i downloaded all of my music and for some reason whenever the app is offline i can’t access it, even though it’s downloaded.. kinda frustrating  :’)

### 3/5 — Could be great, but for a few issues

*2026-08-04, version 11.19.0*

I really wanted to like this, because I’ve used it before and enjoyed it, and I wanted to load in a few mp3s of tracks which aren’t available on streaming platforms. I just couldn’t get on with it though: the main annoyance was that every time I wanted to listen to music, the app had lost my current playlist so I had to search for it again, even if I hadn’t actually closed the app - this happened with earphones, and in the car, didn’t matter whether I used Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay, the same thing kept happening. It’s a real shame, because the user interface is good, there’s a great selection of music available, and the Flow feature is excellent. If the issues can be sorted, I’d happily use this rather than Apple Music.

### 3/5 — App refuses to connect

*2026-07-29, version 11.19.0*

This app drives me nuts, it randomly stops working blaming my internet (2.5Gb Fibre) that's working perfectly, I delete and re-install the app and miraculously it starts working again.

### 4/5 — It’s ok BUT!

*2026-07-28, version 11.19.0*

The app is okay for a music app, however the price is not worth it. It’s definitely overpriced and has less to offer than other music apps that charge less.

### 3/5 — Good but can’t shuffle Liked playlist

*2026-07-27, version 11.18.0*

I can shuffle my other playlists, but when I’m listening to Liked songs, shuffling doesn’t work. I can only Sort my liked songs. This is annoying because sorting keeps it deterministic. I want to be able to shuffle my liked songs without any issue

### 3/5 — Great app but album/playlist art is blurry

*2026-07-19, version 11.18.0*

Some album and playlist covers are blurry, and I don’t know how to fix it. The app can be slow as well, but it is improving with each update. Other than that, Deezer is fantastic!

### 2/5 — Déçu

*2026-07-16, version 11.18.0*

Je paie un abonnement , et malgré tout quand je suis hors-ligne certaine musique ne peuvent pas être écouté, ça arrive aussi que dans mes musiques téléchargées, des titres ne sont plus « disponible »… pourquoi? Je perd des chansons à cause de cela!

### 4/5 — Pretty Great

*2026-07-15, version 11.18.0*

I would love if queuing songs were a bit easier, swiping on a song for example. Otherwise I love the monthly playlists and the quizzes. The discovery is pretty good too. ^^

### 3/5 — You’ve got to fix your shuffle

*2026-07-07, version 11.17.0*

I enjoy making playlists for myself and friends.  However, often when I’m listening to my playlist (that I’ve downloaded) the shuffle button plays the same songs when it has 167 songs to choose from.  It’s infuriating. Please fix it.  I really love Deezer, but this glitch makes me want to switch streaming services.


So, I received what looks like an AI response to the above with an answer that had nothing to do with the problem.  Just admit your shuffle button is glitching.  Then hire someone who can fix it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Ten artists? Why?

*2026-08-16, version 11.20.0*

They want me to select ten artists to build a taste profile and there’s no option to close out of the pop up. Fix that, and I’ll change my review.

### 1/5 — 0/100

*2026-08-14, version 11.20.0*

I’ve been supporting this service for years. Then I cannot log in to my playlist all of a sudden. I can but for ridiculous fees. Go suck a big fat one Deezer. I’ve been your biggest supporter for years. Ciao.

### 1/5 — Not User Friendly

*2026-08-14, version 11.20.0*

I desperately wanted to like this app, based off of a few comments I have heard regarding the audio quality. 

I couldn’t even see what the app has to offer because of the mind-boggling decision of the app creators to refuse new users access until they fill out surveys. 

I should not have to click through numerous welcome slides, numerous tutorial slides, AND THEN be forced to select *ten* artists to “begin the experience.” Heads up, some people want to know what they are signing up for before, you know, actually signing up. 

Make welcomes, tutorials, and absolutely anything else other than “play music” optional for an app designed solely to play music. 

Save your time, save your frustration, and keep it moving away from this app.

### 1/5 — Terrible Experience, Waste of Money

*2026-08-13, version 11.20.0*

I didn’t like Spotify cause it’s unethical so after paying to transfer all my music I got the cheapest $14 membership and whenever I try to search for songs on the app it says error loading which I know isn’t a connection issue cause I’ve tried other WiFi’s and the internet is good. So not only did I have to pay to transfer music but I paid for a membership and can’t search for any music even after updating the app. Waste of money for me, will be unsubscribing sadly

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-08-05, version 11.19.0*

I looked up free offline music apps and this app popped up. "No WiFi, no problem!" You have to pay $14 to download music🙄

### 1/5 — !!!

*2026-08-04, version 11.19.0*

Only works when connected to WiFi if you using mobile data regardless of its 4g or 5g this app does not work at all

### 1/5 — I love that you support artists but

*2026-07-22, version 11.18.0*

Why is the (Apple) app so trash? It’s bugging out about 20% of the time. I hate to switch to Apple Music but I also want music when I want it 😬

### 1/5 — They just want money

*2026-07-06*

C’est rendu que y a des musiques que tu dois avoir premium pour écouter ca speut tu et en plus à chaque fois que j’ouvre l’application y a la fenêtre de premium qui embarque c’est vraiment rendu gossant jretourne sur spotify jpense

### 1/5 — Mejorar opción offline

*2026-06-25, version 11.16.0*

Рассисты конченые

### 5/5 — Deezer’s AI stance made me switch from Spotify

*2026-08-15, version 11.20.0*

After over a decade using Spotify and assuming I would have to put up with similar predatory artist pay and lack of transparency on any platform Deezer won me over. The ability to import all my playlists and most importantly  being the only streaming platform that seems to be doing something about the AI slop that has taken over other platforms. THANK YOU for the Transparency. I’m telling everyone I know about Deezer. It is important to me that I support 100% human made art and this is the only streaming service that gives users the ability to do that. I just wish there was a toggle so that I could have 0% AI flagged content show up for me on the platform without having to go to each artist, then album, to see if it has been flagged. Even a tag on the artist page that indicates they have albums that have AI generated content would be better than having to click into the album- but I will take what I can get at this point. Please keep up the AI transparency and flagging - you are winning over many customers because of it!

### 5/5 — Really good features, just one minor annoyance.

*2026-08-13*

This is an update to my original 3-star review: since then I’ve been using it more and some of the things that I thought weren’t working actually are, just not in the way I’m used to. Basically when I get into my car, whether I connect to Bluetooth or CarPlay, the music won’t start automatically. With CarPlay I can just tap the Now Playing icon and I’m back in, but with Bluetooth I need to hit play on my phone, so I just need to remember to do that before I start driving. I’m used to Apple Music, which just starts automatically, hence my previous review. Other than that, no complaints: the app works well, Flow is a great feature and throws up interesting things, and I love that I can upload my own mp3s: I’ve been listening to stuff this week that I haven’t heard for years!

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with Deezer. Please contact our support team at http://dzr.fm/ContactSupport so that we can assist you. Regards

### 5/5 — Ease of use

*2026-08-07, version 11.19.0*

I used other music streaming sites. But this is by far the easiest to navigate and use. I particularly love the artist mixes of music.
I have a high end Hi-Fi driven by a WiiM Pro. Which makes Deezer sound fantastic.

### 5/5 — Probably best music app out there

*2026-07-28, version 11.19.0*

The fact how cheap the premium and family pack is, it’s just incredible, Deezer is the best out there in my opinion

### 5/5 — Imma explode

*2026-07-12, version 11.17.2*

They say you can stream songs offline BUT YOU CANT I HATE APPS WHO SAY THIS AND DONT IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO USE THIS APP THEN ACTUALLY TAKE PEOPLES IDEAS

### 5/5 — Music

*2026-07-12, version 11.17.2*

Totally music
This app is brilliant straight forward and can find the songs you need quickly and easily

### 5/5 — Sounds better, flags AI, how it should be!

*2026-07-04, version 11.17.0*

Sounds better, flags AI, how it should be! Other DSPs get with the party and read the room.

### 5/5 — Deezer is good

*2026-06-30, version 11.17.0*

Deezer is so good that when you download the songs you can listen anywhere and anytime it is AMAZING!

### 5/5 — V12

*2026-06-25, version 11.16.0*

Awesome no flaws great music library I cannot fault the App in any way but the price is now the most expensive out all the also great music apps

### 5/5 — Flow feature is the best feature in all music streaming apps

*2026-06-23, version 11.16.0*

I always wondered where I can find music like the ones I hear in shops and that because I don’t know any artists and this app makes it so easy to listen to curated music.  Unlike other apps that feature only good artists, Deezer lets you explore good songs from artists you’ve never heard of that are top notch.  It’s my favourite new music streaming app 💜
