Answer
An app to revise the Quran you have already memorised
Durra is a free iPhone app for adults keeping their hifz: recite from memory, reveal the text, say how it went, and each verse comes back on its own schedule.
Short answer
Durra is a free iPhone app for adults who want to keep the Quran they have memorised. You recite a verse from memory, reveal the text, and say whether you had it or needed the text. Verses you needed come back tomorrow, and verses you had wait longer. A daily limit keeps each day manageable, and the weakest verses come first. There are no ads, and you do not need an account to start.
How it works
- Add the chapters or sections you already hold in the My Quran tab.
- Each day, Today shows the verses due for review.
- Recite, reveal, tap any word you slipped on, and rate your recall.
- Take the list of difficult words to your teacher if you want.
Who it suits
- Adults who have memorised some or all of the Quran and want a daily review that stays manageable.
- People returning to passages they memorised years ago: Durra can start small and let you read each verse once before you recall it.
- People who prefer to practise silently and privately: progress is private, and recordings, if you make any, stay on your phone.
Who it does not suit
- People who want their recitation or tajweed checked. Durra does not listen to you or grade pronunciation; you rate your own recall, and correction stays with your teacher.
- Android users: there is no Android app. The free web revision planner and hifz tracker work in any browser.
- Anyone who needs Madinah (Uthmani) script in the app: the app shows IndoPak script.
- Children: see Durra Kids.
Platforms available today
- iPhone and iPad: the free Durra: Quran Hifz app on the App Store, https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/durra-quran-hifz/id6780221866, for iOS 16.4 or later. This is the revision app.
- Android: there is no Android app on Google Play.
- Web, any device: two free browser tools need no account and no app: the revision planner and the hifz tracker. They do not sync with the app.
Common questions
Is Durra free?
Yes. Durra: Quran Hifz is free on the App Store, with no ads.
Does Durra replace my teacher?
No. Durra helps you remember the words between lessons, and you rate your own recall. It does not judge tajweed. Correction stays with your teacher.
Do I need an account?
No. Your plan and revision are saved on your phone. Signing in with your email backs them up and syncs them across devices, and lets you link a family.
Does Durra work offline?
Yes, after the first download of the Quran text. Listening to recitation needs an internet connection.
