No, Tidal didn't raise its App Store prices, but it does have a perception problem<article>
<section class="page">
<p>The first few weeks since its reboot under Jay Z’s stewardship have been an unqualified public relations disaster for Tidal.</p><p>The service has, rightly or wrongly, come to be viewed by some as a ship sailing under false colors, using its pro-music message to hide the supposedly insatiable greed of its new owners. As if all that bad press wasn’t enough, news began to swirl yesterday that Tidal had hiked the price of both its Premium (320 kbps) and HiFi (1411 kbps) streaming services in the Apple App Store.</p><p>In truth, however, this is not a new development at all. For a while now, Tidal has been charging 30 percent extra for subscriptions bought as in-app purchases from the App Store. As things stand, those subscribing from within the Tidal iOS app have to fork out $13 per month for the company’s standard-quality streaming service, which otherwise costs $10 per month. Likewise, a monthly subscription to Tidal’s CD-quality service costs $26, and not the usual $20, when bought in this manner.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2917313/no-tidal-didnt-raise-its-app-store-prices-but-it-does-have-a-perception-problem.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
