## Review summary

Users praise Acorn TV for its strong library of mysteries and period dramas, high-quality programming, and engaging, well-organized content. However, they commonly cite playback and casting problems, login and support issues, a lack of new content, and regressions in the latest app update. Some reliability issues also appear across devices, with iPhone performance often better than TV casting. Overall, Acorn is beloved by mystery fans, but reliability and fresh content remain key areas for improvement.

### Pros

- Broad library of high-quality mystery and period dramas with a mix of old favorites and new titles.
- Engaging, well-written shows with strong casts.
- Contents are nicely organized and easy to browse; good selection.
- Strong appeal for mystery/period-drama fans with consistent quality.

### Cons

- Crashes, poor navigation, playback stops, and casting disconnects.
- Login issues and weak customer support, including failed password resets and cancellation problems.
- Too few new shows; the library can feel stale.
- New app version regressed usability (no skipping episodes, no auto-playing consecutive seasons).
- Casting to TV is unreliable and some features only work on iPhone.
