Their tech, at least on iOS, needs investment.

I had to drop Tidal after trying for a month. CarPlay was a disaster, it just didn’t work well, very laggy, things didn’t always play, it wasn’t great about handling offline playlists.

Separately, they will log you out randomly, locking you out of your offline library. Spotify has never done this to me. I had to buy WiFi on a flight, unnecessarily, to unlock the offline library that I painstakingly downloaded earlier that day.

That's sucky. My Tidal use is mostly on my desktop computer while I do work and other stuff, so it's mostly painless like that. Spotify also had pretty good remote control features through the phone app, I don't think Tidal does yet.
