I kinda have the opposite problem. I have 50-100 people in my phone, and I would only care to use the app for maybe 20ish... Here's the thing... I absolutely don't want to give it cart-blanche access to my contacts (perhaps irrational; I'm being honest). As a super-nerd (as are 94% of us here), I completely understand from a technical perspective why it's that way... But, it just feels creepy and I don't trust it (again, I'm quite sure this is irrational).

That was a long-winded way of saying "this is cool, but I wish I could key in contacts separately."

Hope that made sense.

This is good feedback. If anything, we should all be more paranoid about whom we share our data with. And the contacts in your phone book are especially sensitive. Let me take a note and see what we can do about that. I don't see why we shouldn't allow for users to add their contacts manually.
Cool. Thanks for taking the time. I'll keep an eye on it <3
