"RYL should not be a substitute for [real-life or] professional help".
Somebody said that it'd be good for RYL to be useful when you're in places where you can't get online, such as hospitals or on holiday. I'd really hope that if you were in hospital you wouldn't be trying to get online and were trying to use the support you,ve got around you.
Personally I think I'd be a bit concerned that having it fully accessible on your phone negates even more need for communicating IRL... But then, I am a bit of an RYL-skeptic anyway :P
