I had a friend who's the most ideal person to get value out of this app and he completely wrote off downloading the app because of the onboarding step of selecting friends to add. He had 2K+ contacts and felt so overwhelmed that he deleted the app right away.

I, too, felt overwhelmed at this stage but was too curious to see what the experience would be like as I wanted to create an app very similar to this. I also spoke with a couple of friends who downloaded and immediately dismissed it because they didn't select enough friends on the app to really see the use out of it.
