About Google Login
We offer the option to sign in to PocketSmith using your Google account to make signing into PocketSmith even easier.
Google login not available in iOS mobile app
Due to Apple changing the policy for third-party sign in for the App Store, we have had to remove the Google login from the iOS app. If you only have a Google Login for your PocketSmith account, you will need to first create a password in order to sign into the iOS app.
