My Acorn app quit loading on my The Frame tv. I deleted it, planning on reloading it. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find the app. Can someone please assist me in finding the Acorn app so that I can reinstall it?

Finally solved the problem myself. Frustration I was having was that I could not find the Acorn TV app among the many apps available. Finally realized that the search function provided in the left toolbar of the Home  screen worked within the Apps screen when it was selected. Found the app, reinstalled it and now it is working fine.

Do you have the latest software on your Frame TV?

If you couldn't find the app, it could be possible that the App has been discontinued, and removed.

Glad you got it working! For anyone else who runs into this same issue on a Samsung Smart TV or The Frame, here’s a quick step-by-step guide to reinstalling the Acorn TV app:

How to Find and Reinstall the Acorn App on Your Samsung TV:

1. Go to the Home Screen
Press the Home button on your Samsung remote to bring up the Smart Hub menu.


2. Navigate to the Apps section
Scroll to and select “Apps” — this opens the Samsung App Store.


3. Use the Search Tool
Use the search icon (magnifying glass) usually found in the top-right or left of the screen.
Type “Acorn TV” carefully. Some apps may not appear if misspelled.


4. Select the Acorn TV App
Once found, select it from the results.


5. Install the App
Press Install, and wait for the app to download and install.


6. Open and Sign In
Once installed, open the app and sign in with your existing Acorn TV credentials or start a new trial/subscription.

If You Still Don’t See the App:

Make sure your TV’s software is fully up to date:
Go to Settings > Support > Software Update > Update Now

Confirm your TV model is supported:
Acorn TV is available on most Samsung Smart TVs from 2018 and newer

If the app still doesn’t appear, it may not be available in your region or has been temporarily removed from the Samsung App Store. In that case, try casting from your phone or tablet, or use a streaming device like Roku, Fire TV, or Chromecast.
