Folders, Recents and Unsorted all contain Card Lists. They are where you can browse, study and manage related cards.
Show or Hide Answers
By default Card Lists show the question only. This way you are not spoiled the answers before entering a study session.

It also allows you to study directly from the Card List:
Read a question
Try to recall the answer
Long-press on a card to reveal the answer and scoring controls
Score it and continue to the next card.

Now, sometimes you just want to see all questions and answers at once for management purposes. You can toggle visibility using the Show Answers button in the toolbar.
Since studying requires revealing the answer after it was hidden, scoring cards is disabled when answers are always visible.
Card List Sections
The Card List sorts cards by the order they appear in your Study Sessions - cards at the top are studied first, and cards at the bottom are studied last.
Cards are also grouped by their Study Status. The 3 statuses are:
Ready to Study - Cards that can be studied right now.
Upcoming - Cards that will be available to study in the future.
Finished - Cards that you have fully learned. They won't appear in future study sessions anymore.
