Gut, aber kleine Probleme

Die App an sich funktioniert gut und ich bin zufrieden damit. Vor allem mit den verschiedenen Optionen zur Anpassung. Einziges Problem: auf gewissen Seiten wie z.B. Wikipedia funktioniert der Dark Mode gar nicht und man muss ihn über die Wikipedia-Funktion aktivieren. Dies trat auch auf anderen Seiten gelegentlich mal auf.

I am very disappointed!

I bought this app today and was very excited to use it. I turned the extension on Safari, and tested it out. The developer has forgotten to replace the text colour to white, so it stays black when the background is also black! Now, with the extension abled, I cannot even see what it says! As well as that, the background stays white on links when you click on a website on search results! It works on particular websites, but not search engines, like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc. I still have hope for it and I hope this is later fixed. If it is fixed, I shall change my review to 5 stars. I can’t say much else for this extension. It doesn’t work. I have no problems with my device whatsoever and I tried turning my iPad fully off then back on again, and it still doesn’t work. This maybe because of the iOS 18 update, but beyond that, there is nothing much else to say. If this review is still one star, I highly recommend you do NOT download this. If I have changed this review to 5 stars, then that means it has been fixed.
Edit: I have also found out from using it that when you press ‘Ignore Entire Site’ it doesn’t actually work after you go off then go back into it.

Great app

The only app I've ever bought, found it recommended on Reddit, and it's completely worth it. I just wanted to add a more recent review. The things people have mentioned in previous reviews have been fixed or updated, and the app runs extremely smoothly in my experience. I use it alllllllllll the time.

Response from developer

Dear user, Thank you for your review, I’m taking notes of all of them.The extension works very well for most of the websites out there in the wild. But if you have some websites that are not perfect, Dark Mode can offer some options: you can either add the site to the ignore list, or you can choose what sites Dark Mode to run on (only the sites that are rendered perfectly).If you have any questions, please write me to hello@alexdenk.eu and for sure I can assist you in any matter. Regards.

다 괜찮은데요

개인정보 보호 브라우징에서는 시스템 다크모드가 작동하지 않아요. 이미지 반전되는 것도 불편하네요.

“OK” at best

Safari Auto Translate extension:
The extension has bugs and it’s really annoying. Every time I open a page that isn’t in English, it doesn’t automatically translate it at all (yes, I have set it to auto translate to English in the settings). I have to go in the browsers extension and press “Translate page now” to force it. What is the purpose of buying this extension if it doesn’t do it’s job?

Safari Dark Mode extension:
This extension is even more annoying 🤦‍♂️
1. If you select “ignore entire website” for a specific website to not have Dark Mode, it still set it to dark mode if you click a page on that website.
2. The Dark Mode doesn’t switch the websites words to white, in turn I can read anything and have to revert back to no dark mode. Again, what’s the purpose of me buying this app if it can’t do its job.

Overall I rate these extension 0 out of 100, don’t waste your money. In fact, I want my money back.

잘쓰는중

다른 어플은 한번씩 흰 화면 바뀌던데 이건 그런 거 없이 좋네요

Needs work

App shows promise, but zero updates in over six months makes me wonder if the app is dead.

만족스럽지만 약간아쉬움

다크모드가 다양해서 좋았습니다.
다만 다크모드 항상 사용을 해도 페이지 이동할때 잠깐 하얗게 나오네요 이것만 수정되면 좋겠습니다.

super!

funktioniert nun auch dauerhaft ohne es immer aktivieren zu müssen, perfekt !

Buggy

Quite buggy app. Switch to another one.

How apps should be

Doesn't collect data. √
Pay once use forever. √
Doesn't break my flow to ask for a review. So far...

I've been using it for about five minutes and so far, I'm impressed. The available themes are pleasing, and the compatibility with the sites I most visit is excellent. It does a good job of maintaining contrast, and it doesn't invert colors, so, for example, on a system status dashboard, red still means bad, and green still means good.

I think Noir is the better buy.

I’ve now tried three different paid safari dark mode extensions, and they all have their quirks, but I think Noir is the better buy compared to this one.

What I liked about this app was that the background is true black, and has several other themes, and they’re good picks. I also liked that it checks when you’re in dark mode and acts accordingly.

What I didn’t like is that for dark mode to switch, the page must be manually refreshed. Noir switches pages in real time as dark mode is enabled or disabled (though sometimes it won’t darken everything until a refresh).

I also didn’t like that multiple websites I checked had strange artifacts — images with colors shifted strangely, buttons that were black against black and therefore invisible, images being blacked out, and even some websites had accent colors become much lighter when this extension was enabled.

Last, I didn’t like that the theme wasn’t customizable on a per-website basis — so I can’t set one website to true black and another to dark gray, and have the extension remember that.

There were some websites that this extension performed better with than Noir, though, so it might make sense for some people to get both apps, just make sure you don’t enable both on the same websites, because they can interfere with each other.

Fantastische app die genau tut was sie soll

Browser im dark mode? ✅

Einfache Einstellungen wie whitelist?✅

Ehrlich gesagt für mich perfekt.

Needs iCloud syncing across devices

The app is great. But having it on multiple devices and having to tell it on every device what websites to ignore gets annoying when you have Macs and iPhones and iPads all using it.

Already love it on the Mac

I almost regretted getting h this for the ipad, but now that it automatically applied on webpages......must have!

Neat

Wish it’d stay dark mode between pages.
