Tried it before, can't really agree with you guys. I even paid for a few months to give it more time, both for me to try it out more thoroughly and for it to improve. The sound quality was as advertised (CD quality), but other aspects are subpar. Its app (desktop and mobile) is buggy and poorly designed compared to other streaming services (Spotify) and local players (foobar2k). The mobile app does not support gapless playback, which is super frustrating and immersion breaking when you listen to continuous albums. The collection is incomplete and updates slowly compared to other services (at least for my preferred genres: trance, progressive, edm.) I'll skip player integration as nothing integrates with my player (Sony NW-ZX300). Currently buying from Beatport and paying WAY more than what I would if I used TIDAL.
P.S. Using Jotunheim with the DAC module, really satisfied P.P.S. Current gear: Jotumheim with HD 6XX / Philips A5-Pro, Sony NW-ZX300 with IE80, Sony PHA-1A with DT770 Pro 250 Ohm for mobility, LSR30X on the way ;)

TonyChau707I have to agree. I just could not get into Tidal and I am a hifi guy. It just never seemed to play smoothly and had a lot of network issues (we had Fios 150/150mbps connection so it isn't that.) I went back to local files on my computer. To me, even Spotify sounded almost as good but far better all in all. Full disclosure, this was two years ago so I may need to give it another try but they really failed hard back then.
gear: VTL IT-85, PS Audio DA, Senn 600HD and Devore Gibbon speakers.

DetexI haven’t gotten any networking issues but I do agree with you guys as far as interface goes, It’s kind of a chore to organize or find anything. But for Canadians it’s better than buying from HDtracks, I can’t tell u how many albums I couldn’t buy because I was “restricted“ but on tidal I can stream them in MQA.
