text Dyrl her app so there is no confussion.

Hi Ronit,

Thanks for the lead on Baby Connect. Your experiences with it do not seem to
match mine. Immediately after purchasing and installing it, I found
unlabeled controls and very little useful information. I'm wondering if this
is an app that used to be accessible once upon a time? I'd consider writing
the app's developer, but, really, where's the time for that? I guess I'll
just ask Apple to issue a refund.

Thanks,

Darrell
