I have watch so many programs. Some I have watched over and over agin. Thank you for airing it on this site for myself and others to view with pleasure. Doris Adams ### 5/5 — Great series options *2026-08-12, version 4.0.49 (521)* Whether it’s dramas, mysteries, comedies , true crime or wanders through the countryside Acorn offers a fantastic viewing opportunity ! Worth every penny !! ### 5/5 — Finally *2026-08-12, version 4.0.49 (521)* New shows ### 1/5 — You’re Killing Me *2026-07-26, version 4.0.49 (521)* Terrible. Poor writing, bedroom scene amidst murder interviews in heroine’s house. Ludicrous. ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-07-19, version 4.0.49 (521)* App is a constant rediculous struggle. It doesn’t load without multiple attempts. You can’t just choose a show and it loads. When the show finally loads, 90% of the time I have to make more than 2 attempts to get an episode to load. Then, it’s back to try, try, try to watch an episode. When I’m done with the show I’m watching, I’m canceling. I wish it was better, there are some interesting offerings. ### 5/5 — Love Acorn TV!! *2026-07-10, version 4.0.49 (521)* AcornTV allows me to enjoy all of my favorite shows and movies and experiences different shows from different countries that I would not otherwise seen..recommend Acorn to everyone! Love it! ### 1/5 — awfully app *2026-07-01, version 4.0.49 (521)* great programming, but awful app across all platforms. the only thing that is decent is if you subscribe through apple tv channels to get a so so experience. programming/ shows = A+ the app = D- ### 5/5 — Travel through the various series on Acorn *2026-06-30, version 4.0.49 (521)* If you need a get away, subscribe to Acorn. Each of their series, especially Mysteries are in settings and places it would cost an arm and a leg to travel. Yet, if you have the time and the money, then use Acorn to have travel suggestions. ### 2/5 — Streaming is difficult *2026-06-30, version 4.0.49 (521)* I like the variety on Acorn and I enjoy having access to British shows. The price is reasonable compared to other streaming services BUT the casting to TV is very iffy. It’s difficult to get the casting started and then if you pause the show and try to restart it, it doesn’t always work and you have to start all over. If you’re binging a series the next episode doesn’t start automatically. After you’re done with a show the app always gives an error message about it ending unexpectedly. It’s very frustrating. I don’t have these problems with any other app. ### 1/5 — Not working! *2026-06-25, version 4.0.49 (521)* I subscribed but : Cannot play anything, only trailers. 😡 ## Frequently asked questions about Acorn TV ### What kind of content does this app offer?
