This app is literally the first app I have dowoaded that works on almost every old iphone and actually makes your screen darker! Although i would prefer it there was an icon I could press on the actual safari app to enable this and turn on dark mode instead of having to open the app every time I want to look up something, it does make my screen darker. This app allwes you to look up anything while being on their app instead of looking somethng up if you are using an old iphone in which dark mode is not available. I would have loved if it was available to use on safari on old iphones like on new ones that have dark mode built in, but it's good none the less. 🥳 ### 2/5 — Not for phone *2021-09-11, version 1.4.2* Gotta use their browser, it does dim that browser. I wish I could return it. That being said i cant find anything better. ### 2/5 — Great dynamic dark mode but not that good as a web browser *2021-06-06, version 1.3.9* The new dynamic dark mode is probably the best I’ve seen on iOS so far but the web browser itself isn’t very good. The swipes gestures isn’t working well (why they don’t make it like almost every other web browsers?) and the « reCAPTCHA » security check for many websites don’t work on this browser meaning you simply can’t log in on many of your web accounts. So at this current state, its impossible to use this browser as your default one and even as a back up I can’t really recommend it due to these limitations. ### 4/5 — Great so far *2020-04-06, version 1.3.6* I am still tweaking the settings on this browser. But so far, it’s great. It appears to load quickly and render web sites properly on my small, older iPhone. Glad to find this app. ### 3/5 — No floating video like on brave browser and Samsung browser. *2020-03-24, version 1.3.5* No video features and missing black zones on some pages. ### 5/5 — Dark mode browser *2020-03-04, version 1.3.5* Impressive. Work quite well It would be nice to add/implement an automatic data (history, address, cookies, etc..) clear upon leaving the browser. The current clear data still leaves last visit page on - bad ### 5/5 — Can a web page play a movie in full screen? *2020-02-06, version 1.3.4* Can a web page play a movie in full screen?/The playback window is too small.Can I set the adjustment switch?I don't like browsers on mobile systems ### 5/5 — Génial ! *2020-02-04, version 1.3.3* Vraiment super toutes les fonctions. Merci vous dit mes yeux ! Manque par contre la superbe fonction " afficher le lecteur" de safari qui permet entre autre de choisir la taille du texte, ce que ne permet pas l'application a priori. ### 4/5 — Works OK by me *2020-01-16, version 1.3.3* For the last couple of weeks it’s holding its own rather well. Downloads are easy but bookmarks are still quirky. ### 4/5 — Fav for years, now having issues *2020-01-01, version 1.3.1* I have loved and used this browser for at least a couple years, but since updating my phone to an iPhone 11 and thus IOS 13 I have started having issues. Native drop-downs for navigation and filters now cause the app to freeze on my phone and I’m unable to select any of the options. This is a huge bummer because the websites I use rely heavily on drop-downs. If it doesn’t get fixed then I won’t be able to use the app anymore even though I love it. It is so great at preventing eye stain and decreasing blue light at night! ### 3/5 — Usage *2019-12-27, version 1.3.1* For internet not phone, oh well ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Go under disability settings *2024-05-11, version 1.4.8* Y’alll go under your accessibility settings, display , color filters..this feature is built into apple products/devices already.. No need to spend $ for this app. ### 1/5 — Started off great… *2023-09-07, version 1.4.6* This worked as said until it started flashing ads for viruses and looping so that you couldn’t break free from it. I tried closing it and restarting but it would pop back up with the same ads and continue with the fake viris warnings. Such a waste of a decent app. ### 1/5 — Stay away *2021-08-14, version 1.4.2* The web links are such a dark blue color that you cannot read them. I tried every color setting and none fixes this bug. It seems like the developer dropped support. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Amazon *2021-03-04, version 1.3.7* The dark mode does not work on Amazon. But the App Store images make it look like it would? When using the bbc the app turns background grey rather than black which is hard to read. These are the two apps I wanted it for when breastfeeding at night I need dark mode and typically can’t use those sites. How do I get my money back! ### 1/5 — ... *2021-01-21, version 1.3.7* J'ai acheté cette appli en pensant qu'elle marchera sur l'ensemble du téléphone pour se protéger les yeux de la lumière bleue. Or, c'est uniquement pour naviguer sur le net. C'est décevant ! ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2020-10-18, version 1.3.7* I wanted a better blue light filter for my iPhone bc it is too bright in the dark. Purchased the app, and upon opening there were no instructions on use and it doesn’t provide a general filter for my phone, just a darkened search engine style we site. So disappointed. Waste of $2.00 and didn’t even get to use the app. ### 1/5 — No idea what this app is supposed to do *2020-05-21, version 1.3.6* I downloaded this app to manage blue light after dark. No idea what it actually does. Do not buy. ### 1/5 — Forgets newly opened tabs *2020-01-20, version 1.3.3* Latest updates have ruined the browser. It forgets all tabs I open in a session. If I close the app and open it again later, none of my tabs are open. ### 1/5 — PAINFULLY slow *2019-12-24, version 1.3.1* What more needs to be said. It’s about 10x slower than Safari or Chrome on the same device. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2019-09-17, version 1.3.0* App is not intuitive to use at all. It’s a mess actually. I think the developer also needs to make it much more clear that the light filter is only operational in the app. I would not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really really cool browser, love it!!! *2024-11-22, version 1.4.4* 😎👌💫✨💖 ### 5/5 — Its awesome. *2024-04-03, version 1.4.7* Its just plain awesome. ### 5/5 — The One *2023-10-24, version 1.4.6* The only browser in the entire store not wafted down by its own rhetoric. VERY WELL thought-out and presented, VERY WELL executed, this browser is the ONLY browser that will do what it claims it will do without reverting to some ‘original state’ and losing all the myriad of settings that one painstakingly searches out and sets. Very well made, I bought Dark Night as soon as I realized what I had found, and I’m sure you will, too! ### 5/5 — Great Safari alternative *2023-09-24* Please add unlock work Face ID and optimize it for iOS 17 ### 5/5 — Удобный, функциональный браузер, блокирует всю рекламу *2023-08-26, version 1.4.6* Подлизываюсь несколько лет. Много полезных, «не видных» наворотов. Уникальная функция периодического напоминания отдыха глаз - реально разгружает. Стоит того чтобы купить. Рекомендую. ### 5/5 — What every person needs *2023-06-09* I love this app. Here are some reasons why... 1st. It makes your screen darker than just using the brightness 2nd. Its a fast browser, with lots of eye protection settings 3rd. You can do everything you could on your old browser on this one and at night. 4th. It only takes up less than 10MB in total storage, how much does google take? 5th. Fast and convenient to do what you love ### 5/5 — hello *2022-11-19, version 1.4.4* Please improve and update more quickly. Give a black and white color scheme. Completely free to drop and drag. When scaled, text can be typeset to fit the window newline. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2022-10-19, version 1.4.4* I wanted a browser that would display full screen while watching movies on different web sites on my iPad mini 2 iOS 12.5.1 as in that version the status bar (info along the top of the screen with signal, time, battery%, etc) at the top of the screen will not go away in Safari. This app not only hides that status bar but obviously offers the dark mode as well, another feature I would otherwise not be able to enjoy on my older iPad. Of course it offers many other features along with those I've mentioned. This is the perfect app for a slightly older device. The only problem is eventually ads will interrupt right in the middle of a movie, etc. However with the IAP to remove ads at only .99 I'm definitely going to pay it to get them removed. Thank you devs for this amazing app! ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2021-07-29, version 1.4.2* It works as expected. I don’t spend time surfing, mostly just reading articles on one science magazine site. So glad I found this app. ### 5/5 — 좋습니다, 좋은데... *2020-05-08, version 1.3.6* 다 좋은데 한글화가 좀 더 잘되있으면 좋겠습니다. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
