### "Acorn review" — 4.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: Customer support is incredible, \[sensitive content\] is an amazing help and always goes above and beyond. \[sensitive content\] is very responsive and always makes time for meetings and assisting in any way possible. \[sensitive content\] has been essential for us getting courses and tenancies set up. Massive thankyou for all of \[sensitive content\] efforts. Acorn is easy to use and has great features.
