Dark Reader for Safari App Reviews

Bring back the old monochrome toolbar icon

Works perfectly! Beautifully designed for iOS Safari. Happy to support development by purchasing on the App Store.

Whenever I use Amazon, for example, there is always a flash or white page before it turns black. It burns my eyes. I have to close my eyes and use keyboard commands to switch between all tabs and gives them a good 5 seconds to turn from white to black. This is unacceptable.

I use Dark Reader on Chrome on desktop and it works extremely well and I rarely have any issues with website formatting. That’s not the case for the iOS version, and very often I'm stuck with a white background and white text on a website, making it completely unreadable. This puts sudden strain on my eyes at night time, and it’s not something which I can look past. The main function of this app is semi broken.

I noticed that the desktop extension recently got theme presets including Dracula. iOS/Safari already has presets but none of them are Dracula. In addition, specifying a custom theme is inadequate because there is no place to enter a hex for the color. Can a hex input field be added?

I have relied on this as my dark reader plugin for Safari for a while now, and it works great! It has just enough configurability for me to tune it to work nicely on virtually every website I visit, and for many websites I don't have to tune it at all. It just works.

I'm visually-impaired, and can no longer read "normal" black text on a white background. With this extension I can read most web pages without having to invert my screen or use a screen reader. I'm so used to it that I'm always surprised when I use a browser without it installed. My complements to the developers; having this available across browsers (and especially iOS) is tremendously helpful.

For most basic sites, this works. I find issues with sites having more complex, centent. Sometimes form fields and boarders cannot be seen. Also, I do a lot of editing on wordpress and need a reiliable dark mode extensions for multiple browsers. this one gets weird with Safari, and sometimes won't let me load my wordpress site. Works fine with other browsers though

I haveen't tried other dark mode plugins for Safari so I can't provide much comparison, but I have used Dark Reader on Gecko and Chromium browsers and the Safari version feels years behind. Most urgent improvements would include adding support for local .html files, determining why some websites simply aren't affected by the extension, and a variety of minor bug fixes leading to some websites appearing mottled light and dark.

Immediate eye relief. Glad I didn't have to write something, or keep writing hack scripts for sites.

The facebook website shows a white bar on top when dark readers active. I can submit a video to show it.

I’ve tried all the apps different browsers and finally found this one that properly does the dark mode. And to be able to set my color how I want omgggg so good. Hyperweb caused too many bugs same with noir.

I love this app however, there is one website that is not going into Dark Mode that is the Chicago Sun Times. Could you guys check it out and see if you can have an update so the site is in dark mode?

Was working great for a while, but the past month or so it has been failing on Gmail, making it almost unusable there, which is too bad because it's the one tab I have open the most.

There are some issues with some websites such as pubmed and other websites which contains a section to fill some information using keyboard. These issues are more prominent in macOS.

I have a vision problem, but I love to read. This is amazing app!

I use Dark Reader at work on Chrome. Thrilled to have it for Safari on my mobile devices. Such a wonderful tool! Sincere thank you to the devs.

Unlike the chrome version, Dark Reader on Safari doesn't provide any options to manage the site list. You cannot manually add URLs to the whitelist or import/export/sync your configs across multiple devices.

Doesn’t work with Firefox yet. Bummer.

Love it here too. Same great extension. 😘

This was the fastest $5 has ever left my wallet! I have been using your browser extension for years! (Firefox FTW) Finally, I can get the same quality on my phone! Thank you. So much. :)

It works in safari! It looks so good and has so many options available… amazing, I love it ❤️

I keep getting this pop up saying it interferes with the security feature. I am using m1 mac mini. Thanks

Although the developer states that the app can read sensitive data, you can monitor and deny any 'funky' looking connections using Lil Snitch. ;-)

Tried using one of the freebie extensions, but didn't really work well. This does the job as well as can be asked, and maybe better.

The best dark mode extension. It's not even close.

Works great but I wish there was a chrome version for iOS devices

The price was well worth it. It really helps with my eye when I have to spend hours on my devise. Thank you for this app!

Apple is not cool for making me pay to keep my eyes comfortable.

when clicking the extnesion, settings doesnt pop up. all other extensions work fine beside this one. hope it can be fixed.

Working great but some sites already got dark mode and with this on it messed things up, can you add a way to detect if the website already have dark mode on and Dark Reader gets turned off when it do?

I’ve been the windows version for a while now and recently gotten this extension. It does the one thing I want, turn websites into dark mode. Especially with a true black option

Everything else is perfect, but I would love to designate specific themes for specific websites, instead of constantly switching back and forth for frequently used sites.

This is the best dark mode extension I’ve used so far. Although, I wish images and videos were dimmed so they’re not brighter than the rest of the page.

Excellent mobile implementation, really completes the browsing experience. One request: iCloud syncing of site preferences. I have to reconfigure sites on four devices now, a good problem, but a problem nonetheless.

I already have dark reader on my windows pc, so I’d figured I’d get it on here as well. And boy it’s worth it. Works on 99% of websites (the other 1% still looks a bit janky but still darker) The true black oled is the absolute best part

Great. In these days, I am tired of subscriptions. Good to see this extension not only functional but also allows one-time purchase. I love this extension.

Best in its class, though it needs updated directions for enabling on iOS. Developer didn’t bother which seems lazy.

I’ve had a few situations where a website already implements dark mode and this extension will apply its own dark mode on top of the existing dark mode theme.

I have loved and used Dark Reader on Chrome on PC forever. Such a welcome feature here, and it just seems to work. Love it.

Currently its either always on or always off. Please make it so that it follows ios settings Even better: give us an option to manually schedule

I am also seeing that you have to pay again on ios, even though it is universal. The developer said that I won't be charged, but app store is asking me to confirm payment, so how does that work? Do I click pay or not?

Worth every single penny, worth 5 usd.

Just need optimization. Makes some tabs reload when there’re multiple tabs open.

Extension has been good to me for a long time but it’s been getting more and more buggy so it was time to switch. Esp since the updates haven’t been as timely as I’d like to squash those bugs. Won’t advertise what I switched to (sorry for anyone out there wondering), but look up safari dark mode and you’ll find plenty of good options. I will say I paid a few bucks for the new one I picked, and it’s been worth it.
