I gave them a chance and I am highly disappointed. Not because of quality of music, or their mobile app (which is average at most). But because of their web app. I am using it when I work, so on my laptop. Here is few reasons why its so bad:
-Flash first - yup, it tries to force you to use Flash version of the site. You need to use a trick to disable their messages about it.
-Recommendation/Discovery is missing completely from the web app. On the mobile app, I will get recommended albums based on what I have listened to. On Web App, I will be given only latest, popular albums. No personalization at all.
-Manual discovery is broken - I do not know about their algorithm, but for example, when I listen to some electronic music and click to get tracks similar to that I am up for a surprise. I can get some metal track, popular top chart song or niche rap. Most of the times it is nothing related to what I am listening currently.
So yeah, for a free app its cool, but once my paid account expires, I am moving to Spotify.
And about the numbers - in Europe, many major mobile brands offer 1-year Tidal for free with a contract signed. Talk about inflated numbers.
