It almost seems like there is a scam or some sort of bait and switch problem. I talked to Apple at length about this problem and they are as mystified as I am. The iTunes subscription does not work with this app.
Acorn tv app download#
I think you can download the app from the iTunes Store, but you have to pay acorn directly. I personally don’t think you can pay for your subscription through iTunes.

And yes there is no restore a purchase link on the home screen. There is no way to include screenshots when trying to send them messages. They simply refuse to understand what I am talking about. I have been struggling with this for months and I cannot get a straight answer out of their customer service desk. The app indicates that my subscription is canceled, but my iTunes subscription is active. So I canceled my subscription with acorn, considering that I already had in place an iTunes subscription. I never signed up directly with acorn, only with iTunes. I began to get double billed for my subscription, billed by my subscription through iTunes, and then billed directly by acorn. We are glad you are enjoying Acorn TV programming, and we thank you for your patience as we continue to improve your experience.Īfter months of happy viewing, something went wrong. We understand your concerns, and our new Apple TV app will be released this summer, incorporating user feedback. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. Which is a shame because the app for the iPad and iPhone - a completely different app - is quite good, And the programming is brilliant. The Acorn App for the Apple TV is completely broken. To top off the fun, it will, as often as not, simply refuse to play a program no matter how many times you hit enter on the pad portion of the remote. And if you hit the go-back button, it just bumps you back out to the home screen rather than the more logical overview screen for that program.
If you go to the recently watched list, and click on the program you want, rather than bringing up the overview screen for the program (from which you can at least begin your search for the next episode to watch), it just starts the episode you’ve already watched. Just finding the program itself is sometimes a challenge. You still have to figure out which one it is, with no clues whatsoever. Unlike, Netflix, with the Acorn app for Apple TV once you have selected the program you want (not always easy with the execrable new Apple TV remote), you then get to try and figure out which episode is next in the queue because Acorn doesn’t bother to queue up the next one. To begin, the menu system is completely illogical and user hostile. I’ve been using various computer apps for some 35 years, and the Acorn TV app for the Apple TV is the worst app I’ve ever had to use.
