1. 5/5OK, Tidal .. Let’s Be Frank With Each Other

   Yes .. Your platform is great and all BUT .. besides your move to simplify the subscription model in April, there are two glaring issues for me. They may seem small but I guess they’re not since I have left you for an inferior app. BRING CROSSFADE BACK! Stop playing, Tidal. There’s no reason for you to have omitted this feature with the recent updates. I don’t care what your research tells you. Enable the feature for the few that want it. The others that don’t use it probably don’t even know how to find it. Dead air in a playlist is a cardinal sin. As you may have guessed, I am a hobbyist DJ. I have since moved to Deezer solely for their crossfade and DJ software integration. I understand that there will be a tier for DJs at a price of $9 more than the original plan. Great. I’m willing to pay this but you should really consider bringing stems back. For whatever reason you cancelled this feature, we all have found workarounds. You not protecting the integrity of the artists anymore than other platforms that allow it. Bedroom DJs will mash up songs whether it’s cumbersome or integrated into an app. I wanna love your app like I have in the past. Do the right thing and capture the market with these two nominal additions. I will come back and give you the fifth star you so rightfully deserve (but only with those features) .. Signed, a frustrated end user who shares the gripes of many but has time to tell you about it. Your move, Tidal.

2. 5/5Why I Love TIDAL Music:

   TIDAL music is a streaming service that offers high fidelity sound, hi-def video quality, and expertly curated playlists and original content. I have been using TIDAL for a few months now and I am very impressed by the quality and variety of music that it provides. TIDAL has over 100 million songs from different genres, artists, and eras. I can easily find my favorite songs or discover new ones with the help of TIDAL’s recommendations and editorial picks. TIDAL also has exclusive content from some of the biggest names in music, such as JAY-Z, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and more. I can watch live concerts, documentaries, and original shows on TIDAL, which makes me feel closer to the artists and their stories. TIDAL also supports the artists and their rights, by paying them fairly and giving them creative control over their work. TIDAL has different plans and pricing options to suit different needs and budgets. I chose the HiFi plan, which gives me access to lossless audio and immersive sound experiences, such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio. I think TIDAL is worth every penny, because it delivers the best sound quality and the most diverse and engaging music content. TIDAL is more than just a music streaming service, it is a platform that celebrates music and culture. If you love music as much as I do, you should give TIDAL a try.

3. 3/5Just a few issues...

   almost at the end of my free trial. PLEASE add an apple watch app. I hate having to carry my iphone with me when I workout just to listen to music, due to your lack of an app for the apple watch. Also, when connected to car bluetooth, the app glitches. when I leave the car, the music will pause. but when I get back in the car, it will not automatically start playing again. it makes me manually force close the app on my iphone and go back into the tidal app to resume playing (this also restarts the song i was playing, and sometimes the whole playlist. very annoying). i didn’t have this issue with apple music. I get “error loading this content” when trying to load my playlists through apple carplay, which, again, forces me to manually pull out my phone and do it from there. hopefully tidal reads this review and fixes these issues, as this would truly perfect the app and I would leave 5 stars. the sound quality is amazing, music definitely sounds the way the artist intended. the layout takes a little getting use to if you’re use to apple music, but I actually now prefer the layout of tidal. i love the tidal mixes and the different stations that they have available. it could be a perfect app if they fix these issues. not sure if i’ll be continuing to use it after my free trial ends, the lack of an apple watch app and the glitches that I put up with on daily basis (the ones I listed earlier) are a big turn off for me.

4. 3/5They still have some things to figure out (programming wise, and in life), but my music sounds good

   The app can be glitchy but for the most part it’s gotten better. The suggestions for music are terrible, even if your genre is rock, they want to push a bunch of new artists, especially rap artists onto your feed... we all know the best era of rap has come and gone and it only gets worse the newer it is. Even your “home page” will try to click bait you into making terrible music choices. Tidal also seems like they have undertaken the responsibility of social engineering and pushes the half truths and fallacies of the social movements (blm and antifa). Music has been used as propaganda for many years and tidal takes their platform as an advantage to brainwash WOKE (acronym for “without knowledge or education”) youth to destabilize the democracy and push for socialist priorities by feeding a victim mindset. If only more people had seen the rest of the world they would know our lives have the least struggle, which, in turn is a struggle itself as it creates a dearth of purpose. In truth, I downloaded tidal to improve the sound of my music and recapture the immersion I found as a youth while spinning punk rock vinyl records on my parents stereo. I could do without the musical suggestions, especially when they don’t align with my favorite genres, and I could also do with the social engineering propaganda. I’m old enough to have seen the world, and I know when I’m being sold a fool’s errand.

5. 5/5Great app but can be better.

   I think this is a great app, but it can definitely be better. A couple of things can improve this app right off the bat. 1. The music volume within the app is low compared to other streaming services like Apple Music . For example, the best comparison I can give is watching a tv show (Tidal) with sound so low you have to increase the volume until a commercial (Apple Music) comes on blasting through your speakers and now you’re scrambling to turn the volume down. 2. The app could benefit from a “explicit” button or toggle switch. Oftentimes, I’ll want to listen to an artist “Top Tracks” catalogue on shuffle. The problem I have is it will play duplicate songs because it’s playing both the clean and explicit version of the song. I’m a hip-hop head and I want the original song not the clean version, so having that option to turn on or off explicit content would make this app amazing. Other than that, I love Tidal. I love the algorithms that learn what I like and build playlists for me. I love the daily mix and multiple mixes to ensure you’re never short on a playlist. I love the daily discovery even if the music isn’t for me, it exposes me to new things that I might like. Like I said, those two improvements and this app will be amazing!

3. 1/5

   They offered me a free trial. I was unsure whether I was eligible when I began signing up, & when I was sent without explanation to a page requesting payment info, decided not to proceed. Tidal then sent 2 emails insisting I should return & provide payment info so my free trial could begin. They'd surely vetted me, then, I decided; did as I was told; & was immediately charged, without warning, because I had a free trial *9 years* ago. I quickly cancelled, but my refund request was denied. THEFT.

   switched from spotify due to disagreement with spotify's values. Tidal is alright, though I've noticed some issues. first is that downloads take up a ton of storage. second is that the "mixes" Tidal automatically creates contain the same songs, and the algorithm will sometimes repeat the same songs? There is a suggested songs tab but it would be nice it was integrated within the songs you have listened to before like spotify's smart shuffle tool.
