About Google Login
You can create your PocketSmith account and sign in using your Google account to make it quicker to start managing your finances.
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.
