Common questions

I cannot sign in to Public. What should I do?
Check your email and password, use Google sign-in if you registered with Google, confirm your email via the verification link, or reset your password at public.kim/forgot.
Push notifications are not working. How do I fix them?
On Android, enable notifications for Public in system settings and keep the app updated. On web, allow browser notifications when prompted. See the push notification troubleshooting guides.
I paid for a plan but it did not apply. What now?
Wait a few minutes, restart the app, and check Payment issues in Troubleshooting. Contact support with your receipt if the plan still does not appear.
