Learn the basics
A one-minute lesson at the top of the sample list teaches the basics on your phone or computer. Each step is passed by doing it.
The first time you use Ring List on a phone or a computer, a Learn the basics card is at the top of the sample list. It asks for one thing at a time. Do it to any task in the list, and the card moves on.

Put it off
