It really pains me to say it, as a long time user. I want to support a smaller company and love the audio quality, the Flow algorithm.

But the quality of the Android application is just not acceptable. Using chromecast on any device works like a dice roll. App constantly disconnects and can't be used reliably for playback.

Android Auto support is genuinely terrible. I'm constantly forced to manipulate my phone while driving because the app will suddenly stop working and go blank on my car. Literally have to force stop the app at least once every drive, usually more..

The worst issue by far though, again while using Android Auto, is the needless buffering on downloaded music. If I play only the downloaded music it seems to usually work, but if I am using flow or start a radio from a song, 9/10 it "buffers" on music which is already downloaded?!

I've used Deezer on my iPhone as well and the experience is so much better that it's a joke. Clearly, the company has no priority for their Android app and it really shows. They refuse to support Android properly, and so after years of being a customer and hoping it'll get better, I'm done.

It seems like Air is already dead, no updates in nearly a month now. Also seems very weird that it doesn't use ACP. I can use ACP with Claude but only if I use a Jetbrains IDE that isn't Air? What?

In the org we have multiple seat based subscriptions and something like ACP being able to switch between tools in a single UI definitely seems like the right direction. But it is looking like Air is already dead with the pace of updates and lack of ACP.

Any updates from someone at Jetbrains on this would be appreciated

The rant part:

Maybe I was just spoiled by MLS Season Pass.. But it's a bit frustrating trying to watch away games. Just when I think I have everything lined up to watch, I find out there's some reason I can't watch the game. It seems like the best way to watch today was using an antenna... But, come on, it's 2026! I don't know a single person that watches things over the air anymore, or uses traditional cable.

The question part:

Outside of the high seas, does anyone have a solid setup that doesn't require an antenna or cable allowing you to watch all the games?

Do we know if there are any plans to fix this problematic viewing experience later on (even if next year)?

Feel like I shouldn't have to spend so much time just trying to find a way to watch! Maybe it's just me though.
