"Very competent and bug free photo editor"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Acorn?

It's almost as fully featured as full commercial applications but at a fraction of the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

It doesn't have the level of community that I can talk to as Photoshop. That said, that's a very minor problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Basic Image Editor that can be a Great Tool for Hobbyists "
2.5/5
What do you like best about Acorn?

I originally purchased acorn as part of an app bundle way back in 2009. I have used it multiple times and it seems to fit the need of a comprehensive photo editing app, without the huge price tag. In fact, Acorn is even more affordable than the majority of the other lower cost photo editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The interface of acorn provides powerful, customizable tools, however today the interface feels a little dated and uninspired to me. It functions perfectly well, but doesn't have the same modernization or ease of use of other similar applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I used Acorn to do photo editing for my manuscript "
2.5/5
What do you like best about Acorn?

I like Acorn in a way that it is easier to use and Mac friendly. The price is pretty good. I was using Photoshop before, and Photoshop costed me $180 for my PC. When I changed to Mac, I have to buy a new version of Photoshop since it was not compatible (i was not happy about it). So i decided to try Acorn. It is very similar to Photoshop and it is cheaper. Therefore, the price is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The trial free version did not have a lot of features as the purchase version. At first, I was using the free trial. After 14 days, it automatically taken money out of my account without me realizing it. I wasn't happy about it. However, I decided to keep it anyway since i like the app. However, the company should look into this automatic feature. Some other customer may not be happy with this.
