How hard is it to cancel Acorn TV?
Acorn TV scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), in-app.
Acorn TV can be cancelled online via the Acorn TV website (My Acorn TV > Manage Account) or through the third-party platform used to subscribe (Apple App Store, Google Play, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Prime Channel, Samsung, or cable provider). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — access continues through the paid period and no further charges are made. No refunds or pro-rated credits are issued for unused portions of a billing cycle. There is no documented pause or freeze option; deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
