New here? "Your first five days" on the Practice screen gives you one listen per practice day, so you always know what's next. Missing a day costs nothing. After a session, tap "Remind me at…" for a reminder at the same time tomorrow, or every day. You can set your Reminder time in Settings too. If you do well on the Listening Check, you now start further along, and links in our emails can open the right screen.
