# Revise in Durra each day: recall, reveal and rate

> How a Durra revision session works on iPhone, how it decides when each verse comes back, and the settings that change it.

## Before you start

You need verses in your practice list, from a lesson or from My Quran (see [Get started](https://trydurra.com/guides/get-started.md)).

## Do a revision session

1. Open the Today tab and tap Review these verses (or Continue reviewing).
2. The verse is hidden. Recite it from memory. By default the first two words show as a cue.
3. Reveal the text and check yourself against it. Tap any word you slipped on.
4. Say how it went: Had it, or Needed the text.
5. Expected result: when the session ends, Today says "You reviewed today." Verses you needed come back tomorrow; verses you had wait longer before they return.

## How the schedule works

- Each verse has its own review date, set by how your recall went.
- There is a daily limit ("Most verses to review in a day"). Anything over it waits for the next day, weakest first, so no day piles up.
- Words you tapped as hard appear on the Progress tab under Words to practise again. You can share these notes with a teacher.
- You rate your own recall. Durra does not listen to you, check your pronunciation or grade tajweed. Ask a teacher if you are unsure.

## Settings that change revision

Open Settings from the top of Today:

- Show verses as: Quran page, or One larger verse.
- Show the first two words: a small cue before you recite the rest.
- Read once before recalling: helpful when returning to passages memorised before.
- Most verses to review in a day.
- Daily reminder: it says your review is ready and never shows Quran text.

The app shows the Quran in IndoPak script, the printed style commonly used in South Asia. The text and page starts come from DigitalKhatt and are kept on the phone after the first download.

## Optional: record yourself

You can record a verse to listen back to yourself. Recordings stay on that phone, are never uploaded, and can be deleted in the lesson. Silent practice is fine.

## Common errors

- "Nothing to review right now.": nothing is due yet. Practise your plan on Today or add verses in My Quran.
- "That rating could not be saved. Try again.": tap the rating again.
- "Your revision did not open." or "This verse could not be opened.": choose Refresh the Quran text and try again, with an internet connection.

## Confirm it worked

Today shows "You reviewed today." and the Progress tab shows the verses you have practised. Progress is private; only you see it.
