Build a daily review habit

Spaced repetition only pays off if you actually show up. SnapVerbo has two small nudges to help: an app icon badge that counts cards due today, and a daily reminder at a time you pick.

Turn on the daily reminder

Open Settings.
Scroll to Flashcards.
Toggle Daily review reminder on. Subtitle: “Get a gentle reminder to review flashcards once a day.”
Reminder time appears below — tap it to open a time picker. Pick a time you’ll actually look at your phone (lunch, end of day, before bed).

The reminder fires once per day at that time, on every device where you’re signed in and have notifications enabled. If you’ve already reviewed cards today, the reminder skips itself — no nag if you’ve already done the work.

Turn it off

Same place. Toggle Daily review reminder off. The reminder time setting stays remembered, so you can flip it back on later without re-picking the time.

The app icon badge

If you’ve got cards due, the Flashcards tab in the bottom nav shows a small dot (and on iOS / supported Android launchers, the app icon itself shows a number). The badge:

Counts cards that are due today across all wordbooks.
Updates when you finish a session, when you capture new entries, and when daily processing runs.
Goes to zero (no dot, no number) when you finish today’s reviews.

The badge is meant as a “nudge, not a leash” — we deliberately don’t let it grow huge: it caps at a reasonable number so a backlog doesn’t feel hopeless.

How the “first session” tip works

The first time you finish a meaningful review session (around 10+ cards), SnapVerbo shows a one-time banner suggesting you turn on the daily reminder. Tap Open Settings to go straight to the toggle, or just dismiss it — it won’t nag you again.

When you’ll see the Recent Words deck “auto-update”

The Recent words deck respects the Recent words window setting (Settings → Flashcards). If you set it to 1 day, the deck rotates daily — yesterday’s captures drop off as today’s roll in. This pairs nicely with a daily reminder: you always have something to review without it feeling endless.

Tips for sticking with it

Set the reminder time you actually have time — five quiet minutes beats an aspirational hour you’ll skip.
Use the All Words deck for short daily sessions when you don’t want to think about which wordbook to pick.
Be honest with the ratings — Again and Hard aren’t a failure, they’re how the algorithm calibrates.
Capture lightly so reviews don’t pile up — a few words a day is more sustainable than 50 in one go.
