Great content. App needs work. 1. Doesn’t return to “resume” episode in series. Have to find series (season), then find the episode. 2. Streaming gets choppy after about 15 minutes – must completely close, wait a few minutes, restart. Much prefer to watch on my laptop in the browser. Cannot watch in the browser (Firefox) […]

This app crashes all the time and the customer service SUCKS. I have tried to reset my password multiple times and never get a reset email. I have checked my spam folder and it is not going there either. Their technology is equally inept on my Firestick. I have subscribed, yet when I actually want […]
So far, I’m glad I just got the free trial. The streaming has been hiccupy, making it difficult to watch. In addition, in the app, as far as I can tell, the app seems to be missing the following features: 1) auto play the next episode 2) have to turn on the closed captioning at […]
I like the content available but the app lacks features I would expect. For example, I can’t resume where I left off. If I have to stop watching partway through an episode or movie I have to manually figure out where to resume from when I start up again. It also doesn’t track what you’ve […]
The screen size is absurdly small. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to watch anything using basically half the screen. I can’t understand why anyone designing an app… especially a pay to view service…. would choose a platform so bad. I’m willing to give this a few weeks to see if they figure out […]
It has some pretty decent shows on this app . I only watched the TV portion and not the movie but, the variety is quite nice. I’m just a cheapskate and have a hard time paying for so many apps in order to watch a few shows. I’ve had to weed through them and decide […]
I enjoy the service itself, but major issues with the app. Nothing populates in my recently watched section, which is frustrating trying to return to a show or even know what episode I left off on. I cast to my Chromecast which disconnects pretty quickly if you pause a show. Not a big deal, but […]
When I first started using the app, I loved the service. I got to watch some fantastic shows that I would normally not have access to in the US. However, after their recent “upgrade” I am more than a little angry and frustrated. None of the titles will stream. I have done everything that the […]
The app doesn’t work well with Android devices – phone or TV. The app either won’t load after opening and if it does then the videos don’t play and if I can get them to play then inevitability playback stops after a few minutes with a “sorry unable to load” or playback error message. I’ve […]
The Acorn programming is great but the app is very poor. Here are a couple of the problems I have with the app: When casting to my TV I have to start the program on the app then cast it, otherwise the cast attempt fails. The “recently watched” section of the app lists the same […]
I love Acorn TV but the app needs work. My internet connection is not the best. It’s an issue with the ISP, not my equipment. The video quality for Acorn is jittery if I watch it on my laptop, so I usually watch it on the app. When the connection fails, I get an error […]
Continually get error code 2913-20000 and unable to watch videos EXCEPT I’m able to VIEW THE TRAILERS without an issue. How can that happen? This error code has been happening for many, many months. I updated today (03/15/2024) and there isn’t any change😔 I’m extremely frustrated and disappointed. I’ve been an Acorn customer since their […]
Non existent customer service. While I’m a fan of Acorn programming, I had serious issues where nothing would play and I’d get error codes. Called customer service and reported issues and was promised a quick resolution and credit. I never received either and never got any follow up on my issues at all. After emailing […]
Edited 5/12/21: So much time spent waiting for titles to load on both app and website, only to be told they weren’t available. I love the content, but, with so many other streaming options available, I’m done. Streaming was interrupted over and over at random times, at which you then had to sign out and […]
I like the programming, but the app needs work. It only plays in one position and I can’t flip my phone so the charger lines up. Also, the picture is not full screen. My home buttons are always on, which also happens on my wife and kids phones … all different Androids. Both of these […]
If I could give a zero star review I certainly would! While it’s my own doing for not completely reading ALL the fine print, they scammed me and mailed me into a two year contract and got the money off my card even before my free week was up and I could find a way […]
The streaming is terrible. Signed up for Agatha Raisin but at least 1-2 episodes per season we just can’t get to play. Log out/log in, reboot the TV, still doesn’t play. We wind up just buying the specific episode on Google Play. Very frustrating to pay for a streaming service that doesn’t stream. Will be […]
I love Acorn TV. They have some cool shows I haven’t seen anywhere else. Could probably put a little work into IT, though. Make the app more user friendly. I wanted to get someone a gift subscription for years, but could never figure it out until they recently sent an email. Even then, it was […]
Content is great. The app though is not. It constantly says “You don’t have an internet connection currently, please check it”. Every other streaming app works so it isn’t my internet. Then when you do play something it will say “Sorry, we’re unable to load this stream.” Then if you try a different show it […]
I loved the app and the shows, it was ny favorite. They did some update now I can’t use at all. I pay for s year at a time.. because I loved it so much. They really need to get this issue fixed soon. I have gone thru all the first techs advice. Still can […]
