"Lightning-Fast, Intuitive, and Perfect for Quick Edits"
What do you like best about Acorn?

I’ve been using Acorn for a while and what I like the most is that it’s really easy to use. I don’t have to think much or waste time looking for tools. Everything is right there and it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

It doesn’t offer a huge range of advanced features like some of the major programs, but honestly, I don’t need them. For what I use it for, it’s perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptionally good 2D editing app"
What do you like best about Acorn?

As someone who has been using Photoshop since 1991, I find Acorn to be a breath of fresh air. Everything is exactly where I expect it to be, with a very clean GUI and tools that are easily accessible, whether from the toolbox or the upper menu bar. While its interface might seem deceptively simple at first glance, don't be misled—it is actually a powerful 2D editing application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

So far, I haven't come across anything that I genuinely dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No doubt Acorn is affordable in price. It provides better options for sellecting the desired size before uploading a picture. It has many standard tools that are versy simple and easy to use,layer editing is one of the good function i have sceen in it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Acorn - A beautiful photo creating and editing tool"
What do you like best about Acorn?

It's the most straightforward way of creating and producing great projects containing images.

The tools available in this image editing application are so quick and easy to implement. It also has a fantastic processing path tool.

There are also features for adding text style, size and color. You can customize it according to your needs and interest.

It is an affordable tool with all the benefits and features compared to Photoshop's expertise.

It is best for working on medium and high-level projects; fewer expert users can use it easily with just a few training hours.

Acorn software provides you with a good and innovative result, which will be unique too.

It would be a blessing for graphics designers to implement tools for producing high-level work.

The UI is fully customizable and well-arranged and can be changed according to the user's interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

There is no option for directly paying for the software via cards. The software purchasing feature is quite out dated and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of my favorite go-to graphic editing programs"
What do you like best about Acorn?

Acorn is one of those programs you'll wonder how you lived without! I use it whenever I need to design a quick layered graphic because it's incredibly easy to use (not over-bloated with fancy features). You can create layered art with text, plus you have tools for things like instant alpha or cloning – all at a one-time price rather than a never-ending subscription! Exporting is quick as well, with multiple format options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

Sometimes I do get annoyed trying to accomplish something, but it's likely due to my limited understanding rather than the program itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Acorn"
What do you like best about Acorn?

It is not a professional editing software, however, it meets what it is, perhaps it reminds me a bit of inKscape and even so, good quality editions can be achieved with the tools it provides and, like all editing software of this type, its handling is simple. and very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The software is only available for MacOS and I'm not saying that the fact that it is exclusive to MacOS isn't a problem, but it is necessary to purchase an apple product to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super powerful without having to be an an expert or frequent user"
What do you like best about Acorn?

Acorn is a stand-out product I recommend all the time, to anyone who needs to do simple illustration or photo editing on the Mac. It's my go-to image editor, one of only four apps that sits in the toolbar of my Finder.

Whilst it renders to bitmap images, Acorn's internal format allows you to preserve vector layers of shapes and text over the top. So it's a replacement for simple vector editors - I reach for it ahead of Sketch.

As a technical achievement, it's very impressive (speaking as a dev with 40 years experience). The Acorn filters and operations are blindingly fast. Often, you forget it's doing something complicated because the experience is so smooth.

I'm someone who has to dive into using a tool suddenly then often doesn't get back to it for weeks. Acorn's highly usable and intuitable interface makes this easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

I struggle to find fault as it's such a thoughtfully polished product. The only complaint I'd have is that their App Store strategy is to release new versions with a limited time 50% upgrade. I'm pretty sure this is an Apple limit that they cannot offer a discounted upgrade directly to users of previous versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
