iOS 14 widgets for Deezer Songcatcher and Flow have been introduced to provide quick and convenient shortcuts to two of Deezer’s signature features without having to first open the Deezer app. The Flow widget provides a mix of old favourites and new tunes tailored to your personal listening tastes. SongCatcher is Deezer’s built-in song recognition feature which can identify musical tracks playing near you and lets you add them straight to your favourites and playlists.
Lucas Serralta, Deezer’s VP of Design and User Experience, said “When we created our new widgets we wanted our users to have a faster and simpler way to get to two of their most favourite features. When it comes to Flow, the widget truly makes it a lean-back experience, giving you a personal world of music with a single convenient touch. And, as an added benefit, we’ve made sure you’ll never miss a song again by making it faster than ever to catch the tunes around you. This is only the first step for our widgets, so watch this space for more to come.”
