Don't get on with the Qobuz App

[Witterings]

What do other people think about the Qobuz App, personally I really don't get on with it .... things like search for an artist and they list a few of their albums, you can click in See discovery and it brings up a list but it also lists every song on every album, try this with Elton John and to try and find an album I was scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and then scrolling more .... I gave up and went to Tidal instead .... most other providers there's an option to "see all" and it just lists the album names and makes it a much quicker / easier process to find the one you want.

use Discovery and I have found "some" of their suggested playlists have been quite good but again Tidal it gives a list of essentials of artists you regularly listen to, it's so easy to click on one of those and it also gives a few custom mixes which I've always found quite good as well.

Maybe I'm missing the best way to use it but I just don't find it that easy to use / intuitive .... interested to hear others thoughts and if I missing any "tricks" that may make it more user friendly.

I found it OK. Spotify is still the easiest to use, while I am with Tidal now as they were available on Sharesub, while Qobuz wasn't. They all recommend the ones that they are paid to promote, rather than what we really want to hear.

I've been with Tidal for quite a while, the one thing that's really annoying about it, I'm not a big phone / tablet user but my laptop's always on.
The Tidal App on Windows only sees your streaming devices when it feels like and most of the time it doesn't so I end up being forced to go and find my tablet and switch it on which is a pain ... if it wasn't for that I wouldn't consider any others but both Spotify and Qobuz see them all immediately.

I guess there's going to +'s & -'s for each of them, but they all seem to have one trait that's particularly annoying.

That's true for most of the hi-fi world. As I keep saying, YOU have to do what is right for YOU, not for others on the forum. It's why we all have different kit and different streaming services.

Qobuz used to be my preference of the mainstream services, but I feel their app has gone backwards, and I currently used Tidal for my non-classical/jazz streaming.

The only thing about the Tidal desktop app that irks me is that it won't save the exact point of the song when closing. You have to restart the song when opening again. This is the stuff that Spotify does so well. For hifi I use Tidal, on PC desktop I use free Spotify, so I'm not really bothered anyway.
