Hi Craig, I don't think I noticed that note about Voiceover support for the Tidal app. One thing I would say, however, is that the Deezer app is just accessible. Also, my wife is from the Philippines and we were looking for artists from there. Deezer has a ton of Filipino artists, Tidal had very little. I think Deezer actually beats most when it comes to actual availability of music, I read they have way more than Spotify. It is just too bad that for some reason I can't get my Deezer subscription to play via my Sonos system. I can play it and one song may play OK, but then just about every other song plays for a minute or so, then if I have the Sonos app open Voiceover says something to the effect that the connection to Deezer was lost. The music then continues to play for another 40 or 50 seconds (probably this is buffered) and then the song stop and the next song starts playing. I have spend a lot of time with Sonos level 2 support to try and figure out what causes this with no success. If I use the Deezer app on my iPhone I can play for hours without a single hiccup and it can't be a bandwidth issue since I have a pretty fast connection and also because Tidal which is probably using more bandwidth than Deezer plays just fine without any problems. Spotify also had no such problems and I can play Tune In stations via Sonos just fine, it's just Deezer that has this problem and that really is too bad since otherwise it would be my service of choice.

However, one point to their advantage is that the TIDAL app is the only music service app I know of that boasts VoiceOver support in its product description in the App Store.
