Deezer's delivery of music, podcasts, and downloads faces widespread user frustration due to reliability issues, offline access problems, and technical instability. A small number of users highlight the app's large music catalog and smooth migration from other platforms. Most users report dissatisfaction, citing frequent playback failures, inability to access downloaded content offline, and persistent bugs. Satisfaction has declined over time, dropping from 3.19 stars in September 2026 to 2.2 stars in August. Positive feedback often includes caveats about limited functionality or outdated features. Delivery remains a major pain point for the majority of users.
