Questions at 4 AM

Good questions.

Still up? Same. Here’s what people ask.

What is Kumustahan?

A bilingual conversation card app. Each card has a question on the front and a short reflection on the back. Pick a deck, draw a card, flip it, and talk.

What does “Kumustahan” mean?

It’s the Filipino word for catching up and checking in on each other, from kumusta, “how are you?”. You’ll also see it spelled kamustahan. More on what kumustahan means.

Is it only for Filipinos?

No. Every card works fully in English, so any table can play: friends, couples, families, teams and classrooms anywhere. The Filipino side is there for those who want it, and for anyone learning Tagalog.

What are conversation cards?

Question prompts you take turns answering, one card at a time, so a conversation gets past small talk. Kumustahan puts 1,200 of them on your phone, in English and Filipino, sorted into seven decks and three depths.

How do you play conversation cards?

Draw a card, read it out, and let one person answer while the others listen. Flip it for the reflection, then pass the phone. Anyone can pass a card. More in how to play conversation cards.

Is it free?

Yes. 420 cards across all seven decks, Question of the Day, favorites, notes and saved sessions are free for good. It is not a trial.

What does Premium add?

780 more cards, Collections, eight app Themes, eleven card skins, the Card Maker and Home Screen widgets on iPhone. Go weekly, monthly or yearly, or pay once for life.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Every card lives on your phone, so you can play with no signal and no account.

English or Tagalog?

Both, on every card. Switch any time. The Filipino/Tagalog side is written for real conversation, not machine-translated. Browse some Tagalog conversation starters.

Can we keep it light?

Yes. In setup, choose how deep the questions can go: Keep it light (playful only), Open up (fun and personal), or Go deeper (all questions). You can always pass a card.

Who is Salo?

Salo is the dealer: it shuffles, deals and listens. The name comes from kasalo, the one who shares your table. It never records, reads your notes or repeats what it hears, and you can turn it off in Settings.

Who is it for?

Barkada, couples, families, teams, lifegroups and retreats, or just you on a quiet night. Two people? Start with the Couples Edition.

Can I write my own cards?

Yes, with the Card Maker in Premium. Write one card, or paste a list and get a card per line, filed into decks you name and play like any other deck.

Is the Faith deck only for Christians?

The Lifegroup & Faith deck is written with Christian small groups in mind, but it is warm, not preachy. It leaves room for testimony, doubt, prayer and ordinary life.

Are there ads or accounts?

No ads and no sign-up. Your favorites and notes stay on your phone.
