"photoshop results without the complications!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

Of Acorn I really like the ease it provides when editing, it is a simple editor where I can edit minor projects whenever I need to. I love the circle text tool and the text on a path tool, make it easy to get my text exactly how I want it to look like. Basically, Acorn has all the photoshop tools, but less complicated and cheaper, which is amazing because if you have experience on the design fields, you can have amazing results with a simple software like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

I think my problem with Acorn is that it is not available por PC's and there are times when working on my cellphone is not the best option, I think they should expand it to PC's too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

I would recommend Acorn for three simple reasons:

1-Easy to use, to set up and to acquire. Not expensive at all and give you the best results.

2-Doesn't have to be a professional to use it and lear how to.

3-It is simple but not basic, which is great since offers professional tools that turns out in professional, elaborated and creative designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acorn is so simple to use, that it has really helped in my designs, since it complements my other more complicated design softwares, giving me innovative and creative results in a fast way. With Acorn, I can even give my clients the option to create the basis of what they want in their social networks or web page, and since it is so simple they can do it without much hassle, helping me to work more safely in the extensive design of the image. Also, when there are sudden publications to be made, with this software I do not worry at all about it, it is quite easy to create them and upload it to social media. It has brought me many benefis as a freelancer designer, it has facilitated my work and expanded my ability to work with any kind of editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It works so well!!"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

I like how simple Acorn is, it really is not complicated to use but it is not basic either, it has the exact and precise tools to create professional editions that are very useful to me. The circle text tool and the text on a path tool are amazing and very useful, make it a lot easier to get your text exactly how you want it to look. The file suppot gives me a lot of confidence since I know my editions are safe, and the streamless editing tools are great as well. It is very cheap for all it offers, i love the ease it offers for creating editions, it is quick to open the software, customize the image, save it and use it!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The free software doesn not include the best tools, and I think that if someone is testing for the first time the software, they can get desmotivated since the software does not show what it actually offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

I would recommend Acorn because with this you can develop your brand or company image in a easy, quick and cheap way, you don't need to have professional designers to create your own images, you can adap everything you put on the software and be original and unique. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acorn benefited me and my company image in a great way, other image editors were very complicated and expensive, and I really needed an image editor to create advertising images in a fast and uncomplicated way, for which I need a software that would contribute to the image of the company in a simple way and that other members of the supermarket could use in the same way. So when Acorn entered my designs life, I solved all those problems, I forgot about difficults and complicated softwares like Photoshop and whe I had to edit an image for the social media of the brand or even to make publicity for printing, I do it with the program having a very good result, so I can save money and time. Acorn satisfied my design needs on the editing field!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and understand"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

I like that it's a "scalable" software, meaning that for someone like me who doesn't use it for high-level projects, I still feel like I can operate it. Sometimes the "bigger" programs out there feel out of my league, but Acorn lets me get the simple stuff done with zero problems and a lot less confusion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

Because it is a little more basic, there are some instances when I want the software to be able to do something, and I feel like I can't figure out how to do it - at least not easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

It is inexpensive but can handle a lot of grunt work, especially for small businesses. That's primarily where we use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

We post a lot of content online, so we're always making images for that content. This often means overlaying text on an image, resizing images, or even designing images from the ground up by combining icons and other items into one cohesive set. Acorn is quick and easy to use for this purpose, meaning I don't spend extra racking my brain to figure out how to get everything in one place. Speed and ease of use are of the essence for what I do.

"ACORN photo editor review"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

the best thing I like about it is that it has many tools found in other similar editing software such as selection, resizing, cropping and brushes but it has more! In this one, you can actually add some texts but the outstanding part is that it has much more such as altering the color, you can change the texture even adjust the shadow. With acorn, you can process many photos at the same time but one thing I even love more is that you can crop or process many photos at the same time. I am not gonna mention how you can make your own HDR and more. It is just easier to use and convenient than many out there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

One thing I don't like about it is that I couldn't use it on my window computer, I hate that restriction. Lacking photo organizer is also one bad thing I did't like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I can edit image without much problem."

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

Of Acorn I love the ease it offers for editing, it is quick to open the application, customize the image, save it and use it. You do not need to have more knowledge and the images look really professional. It's totally cheap for everything it offers, much more than other complicated software. As I only work with Mac devices, it's great that this works perfectly on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The Free version doesn't have the most special tools, and I think they should show the customers with free trial what the software offers so they would feel animated to purhase the whole software. And the interface can be more modern, it looks old and the program is really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

I would recommed Acorn to all those people that are not interested very much on being an expert on image edition, but they for some reason need to look like one, this software really offers proffesional and good options to work with. It's easy, it's quick, it's affordable and it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acorn helped me in a great way, other image editors were very complicated and expensive, I really had to focus my design area in other ways and I didn't need to be an expert in image editing, but at the same time I had to find a software that will help me look professional without much mess. So when Acorn entered my life, I solved all those problems, I forgot hard software like Photoshop and when I have to edit an image for a brand or a client, I do it with the program having a very good result, so I can save money and work. Acorn satisfied my design needs on the image editing field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good app and really easy but it miss some options"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

We bought it because it was a cheap Image editor app and it's really easy to use. Before we had the 2 weeks free try and it made a big difference so we bought it. Everyone in the office knows how to use it and we are not even Designers. Also we are a PRO-MAC company, so having an app done for a MAC makes a big difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

Not enough options to edit your pictures when you come from an app like PHOTOSHOP but to be able to use them you need to be an expert. It's also not for PC so maybe that could be a problem if your company only has PC's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acorn:

If you want a cheap image editor I think this is the best one you will find. But your company has to use MAC's or it will be impossible for you to use it. Again, great Image editor but maybe not enough if you are coming from photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solved the price problem because it was too expensive to have PHOTOSHOP for everyone in the office. We are not a company we need the best IMAGE editor in the world, but it's important to have one easy to use and ACORN is easy. Maybe one day, if we miss some extras we will figure out a better app but for now, ACORN is enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" Acorn has been very helpful in utilizing my spare change into something more"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

I really enjoy how Acorn encourages you to save yes it runs up your purchases but that change that you would probably waste gets put to good use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The only thing that I would say I sort of dislike about Acorn is the fact that their fees are what I consider to be somewhat high for the service that they offer however I've already begun to start saving and I feel that Acorn actually is really worth the fees in the long run they may seem a little high but again I think it's worth it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
