Help & Support

Put your school on your Lock Screen, your keyboard and your messages. If something isn't working, a real person answers at my2thumbz@gmail.com.

Open College Central and pick your school: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas or UNC. To switch later, tap the switch-school button at the top of the Themes tab.

1. Set a live wallpaper

iPhone

  1. In College Central, open a wallpaper and tap Save wallpaper. If your phone asks to let College Central add to your Photos, tap Allow.
  2. Open the Photos app. The wallpaper is your newest photo, at the very bottom of your library. Tap it.
  3. Tap the Share button: the square with an arrow pointing up, in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
  4. Scroll down the list that slides up and tap Use as Wallpaper.
  5. Look at the bottom-left corner. The LIVE button must be on (not crossed out). Tap it if it is off.
  6. Tap Add at the top-right, then Set as Wallpaper Pair.
  7. Lock your phone, then wake it: the wallpaper plays.

Home Screen blurry? iPhone blurs the Home Screen copy so your app icons are easier to read. To make it sharp: touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, choose the Home Screen, tap Blur at the bottom to turn it off, then tap Done. The wallpaper moves on the Lock Screen only.

Android

  1. In College Central, open a wallpaper and tap Set wallpaper.
  2. Choose Home screen, Lock screen or Both.
  3. Done: it loops on your screen.

2. Turn on your college keyboard

iPhone

  1. In College Central, open a keyboard and tap Use this keyboard. The skin downloads.
  2. Tap Open Settings. On the page that opens, tap Keyboards, then turn on the College Central switch. Leave Allow Full Access off: the keyboard does not need it.
  3. Open Messages, or any app where you type, and tap in the text box so the keyboard appears.
  4. Touch and hold the globe key at the bottom-left of the keyboard. A list of keyboards pops up: tap College Central.
  5. That is it. Touch and hold the globe key any time you want to switch keyboards.

Why no Full Access? Without it, iPhone keeps the keyboard off the internet completely, so nothing you type can leave your phone. College Central never asks for it.

Android

  1. In College Central, open a keyboard and tap Use this keyboard. The skin downloads.
  2. Tap Open keyboard settings, turn on College Central, and tap OK on the warning.
  3. Back in the app, tap Choose College Central and pick it from the list.
  4. To change keyboards later, tap the keyboard icon at the bottom-right of your screen.

3. Send stickers

iPhone (in Messages)

  1. In College Central, open the Stickers tab and tap Add stickers to Messages. Wait until it says the stickers are ready.
  2. Open Messages and a conversation. Tap the + button to the left of the message box.
  3. A list of apps slides up. Swipe up the list and tap College Central. (On iPhone the stickers are not on the keyboard, and they are not under Stickers.)
  4. Tap a sticker to add it to your message, then send it.

Android (on your keyboard)

  1. Open your College Central keyboard in any chat.
  2. Tap your school's logo on the bottom row, next to the space bar.
  3. Tap a sticker to send it.

4. Premium

Every school has a free wallpaper, a free keyboard and free stickers. Premium unlocks every wallpaper, keyboard and sticker, for every school. It is a monthly or yearly subscription; the price for your country shows in the app before you buy.

Subscribed to College Central before?

Your subscription carries over to this version. The app finds it the first time you open it. If Premium doesn't show as active, open Get Premium and tap Restore purchases, signed in with the Apple Account you subscribed with.

New phone, or reinstalled the app

Open Get Premium and tap Restore purchases.

Cancel or change your plan

Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. After you cancel you keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for. Then premium keyboards and stickers switch back to the free ones; anything free stays yours.

5. Troubleshooting

My wallpaper isn't moving.
On iPhone, make sure the LIVE button was on when you added it, and that Low Power Mode and Reduce Motion are off. The wallpaper plays each time you wake the phone; it stays still while the phone is unlocked.
I can't find College Central in Messages.
Open College Central first and tap Add stickers to Messages on the Stickers tab. Then in Messages tap + and swipe up the list of apps; College Central is near the bottom.
The keyboard isn't in the list when I hold the globe key.
Open Settings, tap General, Keyboard, Keyboards, then Add New Keyboard and choose College Central.
A premium item says Premium could not be confirmed.
Check you're connected to the internet, then open Get Premium and tap Restore purchases. If it still won't download, email us.
I don't see new designs.
New designs arrive without an app update. Close College Central completely and open it again.
