Tidal 1 month trial and iTunes rip-off
I can use Tidal on my OPPO BDP105D, so yesterday I decided to try it out with the 1 month trial. I signed up using my iPad. I have the OPPO App but got redirected to iTunes. They want to charge £25.99 subscription when the Tidal website says it's £19.99. It seems that if I'd used the Tidal interface on my OPPO I would be paying £6 less per month. Is this a Apple rip off or what? Am I missing something? At the end of the trial I will cancel and I hope I can re-sign using on the Tidal website.
It appears you can still use the app on iThings without resorting to paying iTunes.
