Creating a free Collect account

TL;DR: You can now save you Collect content across devices by creating a Collect account! If you're using the free version of Collect, this feature is only available for your shared boards, but Collect Pro enables you to sync EVERYTHING

With a Collect account, you can now easily synchronise all of your important boards across multiple devices, just in time for that new upgrade you've been planning. Once you've created your account, all the shared boards on your device are saved to the account and will no longer be visible in the app when signed out.

With a free account, only your shared boards are synchronised to your account, but if you're looking to synchronise everything in the app, we've got you covered with Collect Pro (more on that here).

Once you've finished setting up the account, you can log into Collect on any device from the Account tab. All you need to do is select 'Set up your account' and click 'Already have an account? Sign in' on the Sign up screen:
