Not happy, lately, I have not been able to get into acorn to watch anything. It’s very frustrating. I can only assume it’s because it thinks I have too many devices open watching it. But I’ve shut down all the devices. So what’s the deal?

Where to begin? I can’t say enough! Well worth the subscription!

Such a great source for international courtroom and legal dramas, including police procedural shows to period pieces from every genre! Many movie, but best of all binge watch worthy series and many Acorn originals! Since cut the cord and primary tv provider no longer carries certain channels in the US, was so happy to hear that they will be providing one of my favorites: Murdoch Mysteries!!

Brookenwood Mysteries has an episode won’t start

Brookenwood Mysteries is one of my favorites on the Acorn app.

However, no matter how many times I try to start Season 12, Episode 2 to watch, nothing happens. All I get is a black screen. I even tried downloading it to see if it would play, but I get the same result. Episodes 2 and 3 have worked like they should.

This is the first time I have had an issue using the app.

Horrible App

Absolute worst streaming app we have ever used. It takes at least 2 tries to get the app to work - we have to turn the TV off and back on, then pull the app up 3, 4 sometimes 5 times, and often have to go through the cycle at least one more time. It takes up to 15 minutes just to get one program up and you mostly can’t get another program, to come up after it without going thru the same darn ritual. If I didn’t like their programs we would have ditched it. We will dump the app as soon as I finish the shows I like. Doubt I’ll try them again.
