# How to Sign up
{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that accounts created on old database can not be used in this new app (because this app uses new database) Therefore, you need to create a new account to access the shows in this app. Read [this article](/v1.9/database-migration-announcement.md) for the announcement on database migration.
{% endhint %}
To create new account, you have three options:
1. Sign-in with Apple
2. Sing-in with Google
3. Manually sign-up using email address and password
### Sign-up using Social accounts
If you have opted for Social sign-in using Apple or Google, then the process is quick and just need one or two taps to enter into the app. So we highly recommend to use these options.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you opt to Sign-in with Apple and choose to hide your email, don't remove the account/email that is associated with OTR app in the iCloud settings. If you delete that account/email, you will not be able to login back to the app.
{% endhint %}
### Sign-up using email address and password
However, if you want to sign up using email address and password, please follow the steps below
Step 1: Tap on Sign up text on the screen
Step 2: Enter all the required fields - email address, password and repeat password
{% hint style="info" %}
Please make sure to use the valid email address to create the account. We will send a verification email to the provided email address.
{% endhint %}
Step 3: Once you fill-in all three text input fields, Tap on "Continue" button, tap "ok" button on the alert prompt that email address is correct
Step 4: Tap on "accept" button to agree with EULA
Step 5: Verify the email address. At this point, check your inbox for the email from OTR Support. Open this email and click the verification url. Your email is now verified.
Step 6: Open the app and tap on the "OK" button on the alert prompt. You will be taken to the home screen of the app
In case of any issue, please reach out to us through "Trouble Sign-in" link on the Sign-up page.
