I made an app where the user can choose whether an item in a list is a favorite or not by using a checkbox. I notice that when the user restarts the app, the favorites are not remembered. Is this a bug? Do I have to make the app private and require user registration and login?

Users have to sign in for user specific column values to become linked to a user and stored in the glide database.

Does that mean that I have to make the app require sign-in and that I have to be on the maker plan?

Sign in can be enabled on any plan. It’s just the types and number of users that are allowed to sign in that varies by plan.

Yes if you want users to be able to save values to user specific columns and have it stick to that user.
