    You can log in without having a sub. You just need to create an account on the web.

    The OP is about not being able to do anything without paying. Not about not being able to do anything without an account.

      i just tried to log in with an account that isn’t currently subbed and got the error message that i have shown you, so I disagree with what you are saying

      I edited the screenshot to remove the email address i tried to log in with so I didn’t doxx myself but it works fine on the website.

      If your account isn’t already existing and subbed you can’t do anything with the ios app.

        Maybe that’s a recent change. I know I was able to log in, browse and add to watchlist a few months ago without having an active sub.
