Ever since its introduction in 2017, Google has been steadily working to improve the Android Automotive experience through partnerships with various companies. Now, in line with these efforts, Deezer, the French-based music streaming service, has recently launched its new Android Automotive app on the Faurecia Aptoide app store, offering a seamless music experience without the need to connect your phone.
Although not the biggest streaming giant in the United States, Deezer has garnered a substantial following in Europe, thanks in part to its extensive music library, which includes over 120 million songs, and the “Flow” discovery search engine, which enables users to explore new music based on their preferences. And now, with this new Android Automotive integration, Deezer premium users, which cost $10.99 a month, can enjoy access to personalized playlists and AI-generated Flow recommendations in their cars without the need to interact with their smartphones.
Alternatively, the company also offers a free version that grants access to over 90 million songs, albeit with advertisements and without personalized mixes and playlists. As a result, it could become a compelling option for users who do not want to pay for the service.
“Music has the power to enhance any situation, and listening to your top songs in the car is essential to people all over the world. It’s our pleasure to introduce our new automotive app, giving drivers seamless access to their favourite music on Deezer. With this launch, we’re excited to get on the road with some of the world’s finest car manufacturers,” said Nicolas Pinoteau, VP of Product & Engineering at Deezer.
Simplicity at core
While features like the extensive library and personalized playlists are big selling points, simplicity and user-friendliness are the most important factors when designing an Android Automotive app. Taking these things into consideration, Deezer says they have designed the app to ensure that drivers can access their favourite tracks and playlists without the hassle of navigating complex menus.
