Eu Sou...?

Starting the digital version for the first time

You download the app, tap the icon, and the screen loads with the Estrela logo. The interface is entirely in Portuguese. You are presented with two options: "Modo Clássico" (Classic Mode) and "Modo Digital" (Digital Mode). The classic mode requires the physical card game product, which you can purchase separately. The digital mode allows you to play immediately with over 20 themes. You tap "Modo Digital" and a timer starts. A letter appears on the screen, and you need to guess the word before time runs out. The app does not provide a tutorial, but the layout is intuitive enough that you can figure it out as you go. This onboarding takes about thirty seconds, and you are ready to play.

Comparing the digital and physical experience

The digital mode offers over 20 themes, ranging from animals and food to professions and celebrities. This is a significant expansion compared to the physical game, which comes with only 30 cards. The timer adds a sense of urgency, making the game more exciting. However, the digital mode lacks the social interaction of the physical game, where players can see each other's reactions and gestures. The app also includes a classic mode, but it requires the physical product. This hybrid approach allows players to enjoy the game in different ways, depending on their preferences. The digital mode is perfect for quick games on the go, while the classic mode is ideal for family gatherings.

Performance and user feedback

The app runs smoothly on most modern devices. The interface is responsive, and the timer works accurately. However, users have reported several issues. Some complain that the app does not fulfill what is promised on the box, particularly regarding the 300-card mode that does not exist. Others mention that the app lacks images for non-readers, making it difficult for young children to play. The app is free and does not require an internet connection, which is a significant advantage. According to the Play Store data safety section, the app does not collect or share any data, which is a strong privacy advantage.

Storage and availability

The app size on iOS is 269.8 MB, which is relatively large for a word game. This may be due to the high-quality images and themes. The app is available on both Android and iOS, but the Android version appears to be less frequently updated. The app is free, with no in-app purchases or ads. The physical product is required for the classic mode, and it can be purchased from Estrela's website or retailers. The app is available in Brazil and Portugal, and it is not being actively advertised.
