### 1/5 — MAJOR  MALWARE DONT DOWNLOAD

*2023-10-07*

Do not download this dark mode app. 
Not only does it not even work as promised, or at all… When opening this application, it tries to link you to random websites. One of it asked me to go to some random URL and download other software for activating the dark mode. This is obviously some sort of malicious scam or hacking attempt. This is a shame that Apple has this on the App Store

### 1/5 — Terrible and fake

*2023-09-02*

Doesn’t work and is full of malicious routings.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-07-09*

Always pushing ads, all the "positive" reviews are obviously fake and made by the creator of this app. Do not make an account, it's a scam!

### 1/5 — Spyware

*2023-07-02*

This free Chinese extension is spyware

In order to use dark mode you have to give this extension permission to read and write the whole site, including passwords and credit card info.

It’s spyware.

### 1/5 — Ad after ad….

*2023-07-02*

Downloaded this and the first 4 times I tried to open it….it just redirects to an ad. Deleted it right away.

### 1/5 — Ads everywhere

*2023-05-08*

The app is a joke. Ads are everywhere, doesn’t even do what it’s supposed to do, keeps pushing to download apps

### 1/5 — No dark mode

*2023-01-16, version 1.0*

For me it just inverts the websites colors.

### 1/5 — beware privacy

*2022-11-28, version 1.0*

app requires you to register and sign up for an account to use it

### 1/5 — scam

*2022-09-19, version 1.0*

google warned me that dark mode will look at information like phone numbers, credit cards and password etc. also the 5 stars are fake. don’t be dumb like this developer.

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2022-07-04, version 1.0*

Doesn’t do a good job. There’s a reason that no one has left a review that has details. Because all of the other reviews are fake.

The

### 5/5 — free and excellent

*2023-02-14, version 1.0*

I used some other apps which sucked. This is much better and it’s free!

### 5/5 — thank you

*2023-01-13, version 1.0*

Not perfect but free

### 5/5 — 使用效果非常不错

*2022-11-13, version 1.0*

整体效果不错，需要改进的一点是对图片的处理，如果能避免对图片进行反色处理，那就好了。

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2023-11-20*

Obviously the dark screen is a vast improvement, but any time I move to or open a different tab, my page refreshes to the top. Hugely inconvenient for research.

### 3/5 — Worked great before ios17

*2023-11-11*

Basically it inverts webpages when you turn on iOS dark mode. Since most pages use white as the background, inverting the page is an effective dark mode. You can configure it to only invert certain websites and not others which is really good too. But I’ll just say the automatic dark mode based on system preferences doesn’t work anymore after I upgraded to iOS 17. I can still manually enable dark mode in the Safari extension, but it would be even better if the developers fixed the automatic dark mode detection. Thanks for making this great app!

### 3/5 — Need a way of turning it off for certain websites

*2023-09-16*

Is there any way to disable it on certain websites? I’ve got a streaming service that I use and Dark Mode has made the website totally flip dark including the video being played. I’ve tried everything I can think of I of. There’s just no way to disable dark mode on that particular site. All the colors in the videos have been reversed. It’s like looking at a X-ray of a movie…

Isn’t there some kind of exclusion list? A way of telling the app to leave certain websites alone?

### 3/5 — Week

*2023-06-12*

I mean weeeak

### 2/5 — ads

*2023-06-19*

免费但有广告 比不上其他软件 safaris界面没有变黑 非常亮眼睛
