Terrible service
November 15, 2022

2 months in a row Acorn Tv charges my credit card then when I try to stream it tells me "I should have a subscription ". Yeah you charged me! Idiots
Don't bother with them
I have stoop subscription as of 12/14. Will see if they ever let me stream
Have sent email to Acorn again (as I did last month) & made a complaint to Roku

Update to Acorn Review
July 29, 2020
Updated review

Well, NetFlix raised their price and we found that we were not watching it very much. So, we dropped NetFlix and added Acorn. Nice to have it back. Love Agatha Raisin. There are a lot of really good British shows here, BritBox does not have a monopoly... yet.
Navigation is much different from BritBox. The "continue watching" section has a much better format than BritBox. You see which episodes you have watched... but be careful, some are off the screen to the right.
The content here is not as bountiful as BritBox. But the quality is quite high. The shows from the "former empire" countries are really good.
So, if BritBox has not updated the latest season of your favorite shows, check out Acorn. You might find some new favorites. But watch them quickly. Acorn is notorious for removing shows from the catalogue. They do warn you about it, though.
Question: Does anyone know where we can watch the original seasons of QI, Would I Lie to You and other shows?

We subscribed to Acorn and enjoyed it. But they keep removing the shows we enjoy. We'll watch something and then 6 month or a year later we'd like to see it again. Acorn removes shows for some reason.
So... we switched to Britbox. We do miss Agatha Raisin and will probably re-subscribe to see that. Provided they have not removed it.

Acorn offers some nice shows, but I quickly became a very frustrated customer. To many times the shows I was watching would all of a sudden just skip to the end, or they would stop running somewhere in between. This happens all the time. I do not experience this with any other on line subscription companies, like Netflix.

Very easy to use, keeps track of where you left off and allows you to watch episodes in order. Britbox has more of the classic British comedies we want to watch, but I couldn't get it to work at all with Roku, their customer service is terrible, so went with Acorn instead.

Tired of old programs being featured. Give us new clever programing. Very disappointed. So many great programs are not being featured. Why has Vera never gone beyond 6 seasons when there are actually 9. Poirot is excellent but episodes keep disappearing. The recent DEAD STILL was the worst new program yet. Couldn't believe the same Acorn that offers Murdoch Mysteries and Midsomer Murder's was responsible for that junk.

We love Acorn's programs despite Acorn's apparent inability to provide a platform on which to reliably watch them. We have no technical issues at our end: high speed internet & WiFi are both 100% reliable, Netflix works with never an issue. Acorn, on the other hand, is a technoligical joke: we have to reboot our Apple TV several times a week (just to get Acorn to work) and have to repeatedly Sign In to Acorn because they've "lost us". Acorn tech support is a joke often more than a day to get a response which usually tells us to reboot Apple TV, etc. which we've already attempted multiple times. Our latest frustration is having shows simply disappear: yesterday "A Place to Call Home" disappeared from the Acorn site. We're in the middle of the third of the five series and yet another email to Acorn after trying a "Search" on Acorn which responds thats there's no such show or episodes.

Great Service
August 10, 2018

Just wish they're offerings were a bit larger. British TV has so much more and also the number of series with a title available are not so many.
Room for improvement but would definitely recommend!

Ban Acorn TV
December 27, 2021

It seems from other reviews that this company is still ripping people off I strongly advise reading all reviews. With regard to service, value, shipping, quality all of these scored only one star. In other aspects the unsatisfactory outnumbered all other submissions put together. I cannot stress enough DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
