Rylo - first look

You need to download your flavor (iOS, Android) of the Rylo app (there currently isn't desktop software), and connect your Rylo to your phone with the included cable (note: they provide both micro-USB-micro-USB and micro-USB-USB-C cables for Android...). It connects, runs you through some videos with quick instructions of the main features, and then it's ready to go...
