Вводимый текст и тема оформления

Вводимый текст не отправляется. Пробовал менять кодировки толку нет.
При темном оформлении устройства настроек не видно.
Зря потраченные деньги. Не рекомендую.
Как вообще такое кривое приложение попало в магазин?!

Вводимый текст

Вводимый текст не отправлется. Пробовал разные каналы в разных сетях. Так же пробовал устанавливать различные кодировки, но эффекта нет. У кого такое было и кто как это победил или это такой лютый баг в самом софте?
На темной теме устройства вообще ничего не видно из настроек, приходится менять на светлую
Зря потраченные деньги в общем. Не рекомендую.

Does not play well with dark mode

If your mac is in Dark mode forget it as you can't read half the setup instrucitons or channel names

Developers please test your apps in the OS's dark mode as well as normal
