All college students should have this!

My father is in the military and during one of their recap training courses on sexual assault they told them about this circle of 6 app and the university one! This is truly an amazing app that every college student should have. Thank you for creating something that is so helpful!
does not let me select college

The app does not let me select my college, so it is useless. When I tap my school, it does nothing. If it worked it world be great.

Is there a way to add a college or request that a college be added? I would really like to have this app but my school isn't on it.
Contacts won't sink

Just takes me to my contact list and won't actually add anyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Small changes

I love this app and feel that everyone should have it, but it would be nice if I could remove people from my circle. I tried but it only gave me the option to replace them. It would also be nice if I could customize the responses I send out. Just a few nitpicks on an otherwise great app.
