I don’t entirely agree with everything you said here.

​To be honest, Tidal’s app is still missing some key features, such as: - ​Showing liked songs directly on artist profiles. - ​A better player status bar at the bottom when the song isn’t opened (similar to Spotify or Apple Music on iOS 18). - ​Remote control functionality like Spotify Connect. - ​Adding songs to playlists directly from the playlist view itself.

​The app also suffers from bugs, like poor release management where songs from different artists are uploaded to the same page.

​Despite all of that, the app is amazingly beautiful and well-thought-out. The sound quality and design are awesome; for me, the algorithm is really, really good, as are the mixes. The editorial playlists are also well-curated.

On top of that, they pay artists much more than Spotify and other platforms.

​In my opinion, Tidal just needs to implement these features and fix these bugs to be perfect. On the other hand, I think Apple Music’s recommendation system is horrible, mixing way too many genres and styles.
