## Before you start

- Durra is for adults learning and revising the Quran. For children, see [Durra Kids](https://kids.trydurra.com).
- You need an iPhone or iPad on iOS 16.4 or later. There is no Android app.
- No account is needed to start. The app is free and has no ads.
- The first launch needs an internet connection to download the Quran text. After that, revision works offline. Listening to recitation needs a connection.

## Platforms

- 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](https://trydurra.com/revision-planner) and the [hifz tracker](https://trydurra.com/hifz-tracker). They do not sync with the app.

## Install and set up on iPhone

1. Install Durra: Quran Hifz from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/durra-quran-hifz/id6780221866
2. Open the app. It downloads the Quran text once ("Opening Durra").
3. Answer "What brings you here?". The choices are: I want to learn something new; I learned before and want to remember it; I want to keep a few chapters fresh.
4. Choose a passage (a chapter, or your own start and end verse), how well you know it, how many minutes a practice day you have, and how many days a week. A target finish date is optional.
5. Check the plan preview and tap Save plan and start practising (or Save my plan).
6. Expected result: the Today tab shows your next practice. If your plan has new verses, your first lesson opens: tap Play to hear the verse recited by Mishary Alafasy, repeat it, then try it from memory.

Already have an account? Tap I already have an account during setup and sign in with your email (see [Account, privacy and support](https://trydurra.com/guides/account-privacy-and-support.md)).

## Add what you have already memorised

1. Open the My Quran tab.
2. Choose Add verses you already know, pick a chapter or section you can already recite, or add a single verse.
3. Expected result: the verses appear in Your practice list and come back for review on Today.

## Common errors

- "No connection yet." on first launch: connect to the internet and tap Try again. The Quran text is downloaded once, then kept on the phone.
- "Choose a passage that starts before it ends." or "Enter a verse number that exists in the selected chapter.": fix the start and end verse.
- "Enter a date as YYYY-MM-DD or leave it blank.": the target date is optional; clear it or use that format.
- "Your chosen date would need a faster pace.": choose a later date, a shorter passage or more minutes. Durra keeps sessions within the time you chose.
- "Audio needs an internet connection. Try again when you are online.": recitation audio streams; revision without audio works offline.

## Confirm it worked

The Today tab shows your plan and what to practise next, and the My Quran tab lists the verses you added.
