better than apple music
The Tidal HiFi is surprisingly fantastic for audio quality. The master quality is very nice and deliver crisp, high quality audio that is pleasant to listen to using high end audio systems/speakers. The discovery feature, Tidal is my new go to for music streaming! To get the most out of this service, the quality of your system must match the quality of the content, right!

Couldn't Get it Running
Absolutely could not get it to work with my Microsoft Surface Pro 7. Installed fine on my cell phone but NOT my surface. The whole point of getting Tidal was high resolution for my DAC on my stereo system. Don't want to use phone. Spotify had no problem with my surface.

Superior sounding music with cast ability
For 3 months free this was great value and I used as soon as my Spotify expired. The sounds itself is superior to that of Spotify/others but the usability of the app is not. It doesn't register as a default music player on iphone, and in addition it's not as user friendly. For the high price I would not buy for free for 3 months it's worth taking a flyer on this.

Expensive service from an anti-consumer company.
The sound is good. The app is fine. But you're propping up MQA by paying for this, and that is a huge detriment to the music industry. MQA isn't an actual guarantee of "master quality". In fact it's a lossy compression algorithm that takes proprietary hardware and software and to decode, which manufacturers of equipment have to pay licensing fees for. Then there are fees attached to the mastering process and equipment. And all sorts of other places, so they basically are taxing music at every step along the way, while acting as defacto DRM, despite their claims that there is no DRM. All the while FLAC is lossless and open source, and some competitors offer less expensive streaming of FLAC that requires no special hardware to play back, no licensing fees, no DRM, and works on almost every operating system as well. Don't pay for MQA by not paying for Tidal.
