# 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 %}
