A mirror of your world
¡Yo? asks you short yes-or-no questions from everyday life. You answer anonymously and without an account. Then you see how participants around the world, in your country and in other countries have answered.
“Does your phone lie next to your bed at night?”
Free for iPhone.
Android coming soon.
Why people open ¡Yo?
Between two meetings, at the bus stop, on the sofa in the evening: one question, one tap, one honest moment.
You think briefly about something that concerns you and answer in seconds.
With more participants The more people answer the same question, the more the result tells you afterwards.
Sometimes you wonder whether other people really think the way you assume. With ¡Yo? you can look instead of guessing.
After your answer you see the world and your country, always together with the number of answers.
With more participants Other countries, age groups and genders become more meaningful as more people take part.
New city, new job, new phase of life or simply enjoying a thought: small questions show you where you stand today.
You answer honestly without being judged. Your own answers stay on your phone.
Over time Later you can see whether the world’s answers have changed, or your own.
Understanding answers
After answering, tap “Details” to open the comparison. Choose what you want to see:
How did all participants answer, and those in your country? Choose a second country and put both side by side.
Do younger people answer differently from older people? Six age groups from 16-24 to 65+.
Male, female or diverse. Telling us is optional.
Today, week, month, 6 months, year or all: see whether answers change over time.
Every view shows the number of answers. With few answers a result is a first impression, not a statement about everyone. ¡Yo? shows the answers of its participants, not the opinion of an entire population.
To be honest
Already today, every question gives you a short moment to think, and your result shows how others have answered so far.
¡Yo? is still young. Many questions have only a few answers so far. With every person who takes part, comparisons between countries, groups and periods become more interesting. Your answer counts from the start.

Questions about the app
¡Yo? is an app with short yes-or-no questions from everyday life, for example about food, family, work, technology or free time. After your answer you see how other participants have answered: worldwide, in your country, in other countries, by age group, gender and period.
No. No account, no sign-up, no email address. You open the app and answer the first question.
For each answer, ¡Yo? stores on the server only the question, your answer, the date, your country, your age group and, if you provide it, your gender. Answers are sent without any device or user identifier. Your year of birth, your own answers and your history stay on your phone.
No. The app is free on the App Store.
Not in the usual sense. Nobody is selected or interviewed. Anyone who wants to answers questions voluntarily, and the app shows how participants have answered so far. It is a mirror, not a study of an entire population.
No. People who use the app answer voluntarily. That is why every result shows how many answers it contains.
When you first start, you choose three topics, for example Family, Work & learning or Technology & media. After every 50 questions answered with yes or no, you can add up to three more.
Yes. Once you have answered 50 questions with yes or no, you can suggest your own questions in the menu under “Suggest a question”. Skipped questions and the daily question “Is today a good day?” do not count. The editors review every suggestion and decide whether and where it appears. Publication is not guaranteed.
Not yet. ¡Yo? is currently available for iPhone, from iOS 16.4. Coming soon to Android.
Free for iPhone. No account. Coming soon to Android.
