Default Soft fruit in acid soil

Hi

I haven't measured my soil's acidity, but the garden has rhodies and
azaleas plus conifers like a lot of the gardens in this area which I
think must mean there is some acidity.

In my previous garden I had great success growing blackcurrants, however
the soil there was alkaline - am I right in thinking blackcurrants won't
thrive in acid soil?

Also, would blueberries and/or cranberries be an option instead?

Many thanks for advice from the fruit growers out there!
