Dark Reader for Safari for Positive User Reviews

Works unusually goodI've had a lot of supposed "dark readers" on other platforms that were clumsy and didn't get the colors right. This one finally got it right. All the colors invert/substitute correctly in a way that makes sense. Even pdfs from webpages are converted. This is like the most useful thing so far on Safari I bought..Version: 1.4.6

Must have ExtensionI’ve been using Dark Reader for Safari on my Mac for a while now and have just installed it for iOS. This is by far the best extension available in the App Store, and is a must have. Don’t bother with other similar apps - they aren’t as lightweight, feature rich, or user friendly as this one..Version: 1.1.1

The great work!!It's instantaneous, magically works !!! Great work by this dude, believe me i've used a lot of apps and this is most underrated app. If developer cut 30% price, i think it will be hugely popular but can't complain as this is only app which works..Version: 1.3.3

FantasticWhat makes this so great? being able to enable/disable per site (and it remembers), plus the brightness and contrast controls.Version: 1.1.0

Feature parityExtension wasn't updated for over a year and was painfully behind other platforms (despite being the only paid version). Recent update finally fixed compatibility/feature-gap issues. Hopefully extension maintenance will not be neglected again. Doesn't collect any data. 1 star.Version: 2.0.0

Worth itI was a bit miffed that I had to pay for an app that is free on both chrome and firefox, however neither of those platforms require the developer to pay to submit an extension so I understand why this is neccessary. I am extremely happy with the performance of the app, and I am also happy that the developer decided to charge for the app and make it great rather than not release it / release a shoddy free version..Version: 1.3.3

Extremely impressive, this has maxe a big differenceI struggle with light sensitivity and have difficuly with contrast, so bright background websites are difficult to read. It's an early impression, but this extension has worked on (and made it much easier for me to read) every site I've tested it on. Testing so far was with the default settings, there are a number of user-selectable settings you can adjust. So far, I'm very impressed and wish I'd found this app a whle back..Version: 1.2.0

Finally updated!I am one of the biggest users of Dark Reader for all of my browsers. It had been a while since the Safari app was updated, which was hampering its use last few months. However, the new update fixes everything! Thanks mate for an excellent app!.Version: 1.4.1

Best dark mode extension!Dark Reader is definitely the best extension hands down, seems to have the best integration into all websites, including ones that may have some grey or dark text that other dark mode extensions couldn’t filter properly!! Props to you, will continue to use this on iOS, iPadOS and Windows!.Version: 1.1.0

You had me at VaderSeriously, you had me at the cool Vader icon. I love having it up at the top of the browser. As an extension, it works just as well as Night Eye, but better in many ways. First, the one time price is cheaper than a monthy/yearly greedy developer--so thank you for that. I love that you can make it disabled by default for any new sites I visit but then quickly enable it if I want. Also, it just works. I have the latest Big Sur and Safari and there are no issues unlike Night Eye who's settings I had to keep restarting the extension to see. The only suggestion I have that would make the app better is to be able to control the effects sliders (brightness, contrast, filtermode toggle) on a per-site basis. Currently they get applied to all sites which isn't ideal in most circumstances. And finally, the icon. This one is the best I've tried of all the dark mode Safari extensions out there. Just get it!.Version: 1.4.2

Great AppBeen using the same app on Chrome for a long time. Recently switched to Safari and I'm glad this is on there! Dark Reader is pretty easy to use and makes reading much nicer on my eyes. There might be a few one-off sites that the extension has trouble adjusting to but overall it's very solid. Giving it a 4/5 only because sometimes the extension becomes unresponsive on my Mac. It happens pretty rarely though (would honetly give it a 4.5/5 if I could).Version: 1.4.3

Customize highlight color!The lastest version of chrome version has added support for customizing highlight color. Really hope that safari can have the same experience as well! (or at least add an beta option?).Version: 1.4.3

Best dark mode extensionDark reader is the best extension for PC, MAC and now IOS! There are many options to fine-tune your experience, from a pitch black filter to grey and blue, and you can also disable for specific websites. It’s clear that the developer has the best coding for universal dark mode browsing and it’s definitely worth supporting him.Version: 1.1.0

Can you make it work for the DuckDuckGo App Please?Great app, works perfectly on Safari, just a shame that’s the only app it works for. Would be great to get some extra compatibility, in particular, the DuckDuckGo app..Version: 1.4.3

Works Brilliantly For Most WebsitesThis app is great value for money, as someone who is regularly using my laptop after dark, this has taken the strain off my eyes. As someone who's favourite colour is black, I just love what this app brings to Safari. The app does a fine job at changing the websites' backgrounds to dark and the text to light; although every so often I will come across the website that doesnt agree with this. The images are inverted and/or you can't see the text becasue it's as dark as the background. Instagram is one example of a website that doesnt work with Dark Reader. However, this can easily be fixed by clicking the Dark Reader icon next to the search bar and tweaking the settings. Although the easiest option is just to switch off Dark Reader for that specific website and it'll still work for the others. That's the only issue I have and since it rarely comes up, and has a quick fix, I don't have a problem with it. I'm used to seeing websites dark theme now and usually don't think twice about it. Solid four stars, I would definitely recommend this. Thanks for reading my review :).Version: 1.3.3

AmazingI’ve been using Dark reader on my iMac for about a year now and now being on IOS it’s amazing highly recommend this extension.Version: 1.2.1

Brilliant for people with Visual ImpairmentsAbsolutely a life-saver for those of us with visual impairments that make viewing web pages with white backgrounds very difficult. The App has the perfect balance of ease-of-use and complete customization. Highly recommend it, particularly as most websites don't support Apple's Dark Mode by default..Version: 1.3.3

Exactly What I Was Looking ForThe biggest issue with dark mode is the web. This extension did exactly what I wanted, it made the web dark. Websites that didn't auto invert could be customized to do so in the settings..Version: 1.1.0

Please keep updating this awesome APP!!!!I have been using this on Chrome for 12 months, moved to Macbook, now and its awesome on Safari with Big Sur..Version: 1.4.0

GraeatI love this app when used on Safari. It works well and does not slow down the loading of pages at all. The dark mode is so much easier on my eyes and I am thankful for this app. The same app on Firefox slows down the loading of pagers to the point it is not usable, but there are no such issues for this version for Safari.Version: 1.1.0

One of the best dark mode extensionsThis is the best dark mode extensions for Safari and Chrome. While there are competitors out there, their extensions are quite buggy (example, articles like medium don't display properly) The only issue with this extension is if I leave Safari open for a while (perhaps even after opening my MacBook again from standby), tapping the extension icon doesn't do anything and I have to quit and reopen safari. Other than this issue this is a 5 star extension!.Version: 1.4.3

Stellar!Very polished, works great so far. Well worth the modest price..Version: 1.3.3

Nice job by the developersClean, simple UI with good customisation. Works on most websites I've tried apart from the ones that force you to see a white screen. Cool app icon. Basically, really worthwhile if you browse on Safari late at night, early in the morning, or in other low light conditions (or you just want web pages to look cooler). Nice job by the developers..Version: 1.1.0

No faff, just works. 10/10!!!Excellent work devs, this should be on IOS by default..Version: 1.4.2

Simply awesome.The new addition of themes is more than a welcomed feature! Pure black backgrounds on white text can be a painful reading experience, but now I can create or use one of many themes to aid my and read for longer! I’ve been using DarkReader since I first heard about it early in 2019 (it’s been around for longer) and definitely loved it for my Mac and love it even more for iPad and iPhone! However, I must add I wish DarkReader would communicate between devices via iCloud to save and load my settings for websites I choose to darken. Other than that, it’s an amazing extension! 10/10 would recommend!.Version: 1.4.2

It works like thisIts Black yes Black NO MORE BLINDING LIGHTS Google docs in Safari is BLACK I luv u xxxx.Version: 2.0.3

FantasticI have used this extension for several years on Chrome/Edge and would consider it best in class for its community, intelligence in adaptation, and developer responsiveness. With this latest update it now even supports automatic conversion with light and dark mode on the system. So happy to finally have it available on iOS..Version: 1.1.0

A must-have browser extension, but . . .I live by this extension on my PC. While this is a great extension for my iPad, it only has a selection of pre-configured settings for different view modes. I love all of them but I miss the ability to create my own settings, particularly a lighter sepia with thicker “stroke” settings (to make thin fonts mor “bold.” Developers: please allow for user-created settings as in the desktop extension. Many thanks..Version: 1.1.1

Even better now with Auto switchingI bought this app and used it for a few days always on, and I loved the look, but wished there was a way to set it to switch automatically with Dark Mode. The app was updated this morning with an update doing just that and it works great! Highly recommend!.Version: 1.1.0

Well worth the costI was a long time user of the free Firefox extension from the same developer and finally decided to purchase it for Safari on my Mac. It has almost all of the functionality from the Firefox version and anything that may be missing, is being added in each update. It also looks way better in this version. Maybe the developer has had more time to "pretty up" this version because it is not offered for free, but either way I love it. It works perfectly with all of my other extensions (ad-blockers, grammarly, and password managers). I wish I gave in sooner and realized it's worth the premium for the Safari edition..Version: 1.4.3

Why didn't I try this sooner?I had used and liked this extension in Firefox, but for some reason don't think of adding extensions to Safari. When I got tired of being blinded by sites like the Washington Post I gave Dark Reader a try, and couldn't be happier. It works about as well as one could expect such an add-on to work, i.e. not perfectly, but surprisingly well. Disagree about $5 being expensive. I wish more extensions and apps would charge a simple one-time price. It's an extremely good value..Version: 2.0.1

FloatersI have eye floaters which can be both annoying and distracting. This doesn't make them disappear, but it certainly helps reduce them when looking at the screen. Thank you Dark Reader.Version: 1.4.6

Good!!!Excellent app for use in browsing safari, would love to see you make a dark mode app that makes all apps be in dark mode. Also love your computer dark mode add on.Version: 1.4.2

Worth itThis is a premature review but its worth noting. I have a severe light sensitivity, so when dark mode on mac was released, it was a game changer. But the contrast from dark mode screens to sites like google hurt my eyes as if I just looked into the sun. I have been reluctant to purchase this extension but my eyes feel immediately satisfied and relieved. Thank you for making a much needed app work so well!.Version: 1.3.3

Start Here!Dark Reader is the best dark mode for Safari. I tried the free versions first. Take my advice and save the time by skipping the junk and starting here. It's well worth the nominal cost. Added bonus: it's extemely easy to setup a shortcut in Dark Reader's settings to toggle it on and off and does not require reloading the webpage like some of the other dark mode solutions..Version: 1.4.3

UnrivalledImpressively, every website looks like it has a native dark mode, even those with rather complex and modern UI elements. This is an extremely well-implemented extenesion. The only slightly odd caveat is that this is free on google chrome, and £5 on safari..Version: 1.1.0

Must have.Works flawlessly, absolute must have extension for safari. Although, for me personally, as Solarized lover – I’d like to be able to create a custom preset with precise HEX values input; otherwise, too much contrasting presets are very hard to read..Version: 1.4.2

WHAT A RELIEFI was looking at the bright glare of Wikipedia this morning and realized how bugged my eyes were, so we I went searching for a solution. Sure, like many of you, I was initially put off by the cost of this app. "Why should I fork over 5 of my hard earned dollars - an amount I will happily spend on an afternoon coffee I certainly do not need - for a dark extension that should (1) be built into Safari and (2) is offered for free for Chrome, Firefox, etc. Well friends, as soon as I installed it all the background browsers I'd stopped noticing all went dark, and I could feel my nervous system release. It's remarkable what a difference this makes. Maybe it should be free, I don't care, all I care about now is how much more enjoyable an experience browsing the web is. thanks!.Version: 1.4.6

Perfect for Dark ModeI've been using this for Google Chrome and Firefox and I'm happy to throw some dollar to the Author's pocket. You've saved my eyes. This works great in Safari, I do wish I could do a "filter mode per site" as some sites work better in that mode and it looks like theres only a global toggle. Other than that, works perfectly coinciding with Dark Mode in Mojave.Version: 1.0.3

Great purchaseI'm using his extension at night time in combination with the dark theme on my MacBook..Version: 1.3.3

Essential quality of life extensionI have a vision issue which causes dark text on light backgrounds to be difficult to read at times. I’ve used Dark Reader on desktop browsers for some time, but on iOS and iPadOS I needed to use Safari’s Reader mode or system-wide Invert Colors. They worked, but each method has its own drawbacks. I’m very happy to see this make its way to Safari in iOS 15, and also that my purchase of the Mac version carried over to the iOS version. (I was prepared to pay the full price again without hesitation.) This version is somewhat less configurable than the desktop extensions (replacing the static/dynamic/sepia filters with a palette of color themes) but the core function works just as well. My only complaint is that if any other extensions are active, it takes extra taps to activate Dark Reader (once to call up the extension menu, then again to change Dark Reader settings), but I assume that’s an OS limitation..Version: 1.1.0

Like it but:I wish it had the option to choose accent colours as well, like purple or blue, or to give it a small tint.Version: 1.3.3

Great but one issue came up…After the 1.1.0 update whenever I leave safari for a while (it doesn’t really matter how long - could be seconds, minutes, hours), when I return to safari the style messes up. Logos on a site are surrounded by white and links are not blue anymore. Reloading the page fixes this, but it is an inconvenience that didn’t exist in the earlier version. If this was fixed again I would give 5 stars for sure. Other than this it is the best dark mode extension for any platform..Version: 1.1.0

Once again the best "Dark Mode" extension you can find!The dev finally fixed the big problems last updates had and he release the fix way faster than I expected so it proves he actually listen his costumers. So in short its by far the best dark mode extension you can find for Safari. except for very rare exceptions, websites will look very good by conserving their main design colours but only revert the white background/black text into dark background/white text. It will NOT just invert colours (at least in Dynamic mode) like most of other extension of this kind does. Highly recommend..Version: 1.4.2

SurprisingStarting working straight away. No difficult configuraiton, worked with all the websites i had opened at the time. This review is after 10 minutes of usage, but im feeling good about the purchase already..Version: 1.3.3

We need shortcuts to turn on and offI enjoyed this for years on Chrome version and I just realized there is no shortcuts to turn on and off on Safari version. I really need it. Devs PLEASE! Thanks for the great app.Version: 1.1.0

Really the only option for darkmodeNothing else quite handles darkmode as well as this. I was sad to see the price for the Safari extension but honestly it's worth it. Create yourself a shortcut to enable/disable on each website. There are interesting interactions sometimes but just toggle the site over for a second and switch back. Note - it has an added benefit of showing you some of the interesting choices a web designer made on a particular website since colors get inverted.Version: 1.3.3

I love it!Ever since Mojave came out with Dark Mode I have been drumming my fingers waiting to convert all my apps, and since a browser is a huge part of using your computer this was a biggie. I just installed in today and I am over the moon! I haven't used it for more then a couple of hours and so far I haven't found any sites where it doesn't work well. Great job and 5 stars from me :).Version: 1.1.0

Does what it shouldDoes a really good job of making all sites dark. You can also customize the look of each site. There are some bugs where sites do not load but refreshing usually solves it. There is a bug when the extension is off, loading a site will flash it dark mode for 1 second. This app has access to all your browsing history and can see everything on the webpage, including passwords, credit card numbers etc. Do your research and decide if this app deserves your trust. Lastly, it would be nice if there was a feature to turn it on and off at specific times..Version: 1.4.3

Awesome app thank you so muchThis is fantastic awesome to finally have a system change.Version: 1.1.0

Love this for my PC, but this burns my eyes.Love it, my only gripe is something I am not sure if the dev is able to fix, but due to the screen being closer to my eyes, the screen brightness makes the white text get ‘burnt’ into my eyes - like looking into a light bulb. I had to turn it off the darkest setting to combat this, although I would prefer to have it fully black (for oled benefit)..Version: 1.1.0

Needs Additional Adjustments options available in WindowsOne of the major reasons I made this purchase was to adjust the sepia and use a different background for consistent with the gruvbox style instead of a completely black background, but the option to adjust sepia is completely missing. It's pretty good, but not at the same level as its windows version..Version: 1.3.3

Fantastic!I was a little sceptical about how well this would work as I have used free extensions in the past and they werent any good. This, however - is fantastic! Well worth the price, just ask my eyes!.Version: 1.4.2

Eyes forever saved by VaderI have no idea why I put up with NOT using this app for so long. Google finally broke me. It was SO bright, especially late at night. Now everything is nice and dark, and if the formatting doesn't quite fit the website (a rarity) it's really easy to turn off for specific websites. 10/10. I told 4 people about it already..Version: 1.4.2

By far my preferred dark mode extensionFor iPad, the one annoyance I have is that the extension stands/pops out too much in the tab (Safari compact mode for me). Perhaps Safari on iPadOS does not allow an extension to appear transparent nor a placement option right next to the sidebar icon instead, but a slicker icon would be much appreciated, or better yet make an option to hide its icon. If it weren’t for that I would rate it 5 stars like I did for the MacOS version..Version: 1.1.1

Works perfectlyNo problems, does as described flawlessly.Version: 1.1.0

Almost perfectThis extension works as expected. But in some cases when I disable it for certain webpage, it looks like it doesn't respect the toggle. The page is still dark 🤔.Version: 1.4.2

PerfectDon't even hesitate to buy and make use of this. Test on Chrome first if you like. I don't even use Safari very much. I bought this to support a developer whose work has massively improved the quality of my life through this deceptively simple application. Thanks Alexander!.Version: 1.3.3

How to do it rightWhat an example of how to take a good thing, apply it to a new thing, and just do it right. What is there to complain about? That's rhetorical, there's nothing. It does what it says it does; no more, no less. And no data collected. We all win. Thank you..Version: 1.4.2

Great app, needs morePlease add the option to use different themes on different sites..Version: 1.1.1

Great engine, dev responsiveI have been using the same addin on Firefox and this is a great port. Updated review: The version I used was lagging in terms of customisation, I complained, two days later the dev got in contact to let me know about the released tweaks. Great buy..Version: 1.1.0

Simply perfectIt just works. No issues. Best purchase ever..Version: 1.4.2

Works perfectlyBought this app as soon as iOS15 came out and it works perfectly :-) I only wish sometimes pages don’t flash white before loading, but otherwise I love this app..Version: 1.1.0

Amazing extensionI love this extension on chrome. Surprised to see no invert list like on chrome extension. Only downside so far..Version: 1.4.6

The best dark mode extentionI tested all other dark mode extentions but none works like this. The speed,the colors of dark mode is the best. doesn't make websites ugly and mostly works really good that you can not distinguish between native websites dark modes or the extension dark mode because it's really do a good job in terms of coloring..Version: 1.1.1

My Favorite Extension This YearI do a lot of monitoring of financial assets on additional screens, and they are often developed against a bright white background. For assets that run twenty-four hours a day this means that droaning light glaring at me late into the night. In a quest to end the eye pain I was suffering I was led to Dark Reader. It immediately solved my issues ad I was shocked at how well the darkened sites look; it was as if a professional had instantly customized a dark theme, not just some hack that darkend the colors. I love that I can have it darken all sites, or just a list of sites, all while having the ability to toggle the mode with a key combination. I mainly use it in Microsoft Edge, where it has been flawless. I noticed that a site in Safari displays incorrectly, while working fine in Edge. Other than that, I mainly bought the Safari app to support the cool extension because it's that wonderful..Version: 1.4.3

Doesn’t work anymoreOld review: I really like this extension and I do recommend it, but just like it happen with other extensions often times when loading a website it flashes the original white background for a fraction of a second. As I mentioned I do think the extension is worth it regardless and I’m confident he devs will fix it sooner or later because many folks are reporting this..Version: 1.4.1

Would be perfect with one additionOverall this app is awesome. I love how you can disable it on websites which don't play well with the extension. What is lacking though, is the ability to use dynamic mode vs filter mode on a site by site basis. I use dynamic mode as the look is much more consistent, but on several sites it renders the page blank but filter mode works just fine. I'd like to be able to set these sites to use filter mode as opposed to having to disable the extension for the site which then renders this one bright white website with all others being a nice dark mode. For me, it's the only thing holding this back from 5 stars..Version: 1.0.3

Is simply worksI use my phone at night so wanted safari to work in dark mode. This app had good reviews and a one off cost which seemed reasonable. When you install the app it gives you instructions on how to configure it. Once done all pages in safari render in dark mode, this includes any link opened via emails or your search bar, etc. Pages render instantly and all pages so far have been easy to read. Very happy with this purchase, it is nice to have an app that works well without any issues..Version: 1.4.4

Buy itThat's what Google has been withholding to promote their browser. Now, every page's background is black or grey and can be adjusted. Worth every dollar.Version: 1.3.3

FantasticThis is the best global dark mode I have found, on any browser for that matter. I love that it is instant, and that it's not just a high contrast black everywhere -- it actually has a clean appearance and allows you to customize it per site if you wish. One suggestion: try to make the customize sliders alter the page as the user drags them. Right now I have to let go to see the change..Version: 1.2.0

Good EnoughWorks really well for what it's intended to do. Not sure if it's the fault of Dark Reader or Safari, but when you're using this plugin, there is an icon at the top of the page that you'd click to configure settings and on/off. If the safari browser has been open for a while (say, an hour or two) clicking the icon fails to do anything, and you need to quit Safari & reopen to toggle dark mode on/off..Version: 1.4.5

GoodGood, but says app can see websites visited and see passwords and financial information? can someone explain this??.Version: 1.2.0

Best dark reading extension for safariDoes not slow down web-apps as much as Night Eye, which I was previously using. Easy to turn on and off, and adjust brightness/contrast. Recommend using Filter Mode, which is the fastest mode. Also recommend using gmail in basic HTML mode when using this extension..Version: 1.4.5

Developer explained the confusing Apple messageWorks perfectly on Desktop and iPhone, The message Apple inserted into the extensions preferences box is confusing, it leaves the impression that the application is collect passwords, phone numbers and credit card information which the application is not doing..Version: 1.4.4

Best dark theme extensionIt is the best dark theme extension on iOS and the Mac. Please add dark mode site detection, so it doesn’t have to apply the dark theme again..Version: 1.1.0

Beats out NoirThe default colours are so much better then noirs’ helping legibility immensely! As well filtering around logos seem to be more intelligent..Version: 1.3.0

Almost perfect!Works excellently on almost every site, I recommend. Could we get an option to prevent color the invert if the site is already dark?.Version: 1.4.2

Got Cataracts?Having a minor case of cataracts, I have found the MacOS Mohave's Dark Mode a great benifit to help reduce bright glare and ease eye strain. This Dark Mode Safari extension is a welcomed addition for keeping my screen dark. The extension works well for most web sites but it is possible to turn off the dark mode when it doesn't. Dark Reader has greatly improved with the update to Version 1.0.1..Version: 1.0.1

11/10Had the Chrome version for many years. Decided to get for Safari because also don't mind supporting the developer for a function this good..Version: 1.3.2

Satisfied my Precious EyesI just recently installed this and I enjoy it for night time to avoid blinding white lights, it is a llittle pricey ($8) but 100% worth it. I'd highly recommend investing in this as it is one of a kind dark mode reading for safari..Version: 1.3.2

Bug FixI found that when i do a google search with dark reader on, then click on a result, going back to the google search would cause dark reader to stop working in that tab, but only when going back with the 2 finger swipe gesture. If i just click the back button it remains in dark mode but this is very annoying we love our swipe gestures so this is a must if you guys are to stay on top. Thanks for the awesome great safari plugin..Version: 1.2.0

Works a TreatWorks very nicely on my M1 Mac. Lots of useful settings, shortcut options etc. After a morning where it felt like my eyes were being burnt out, this was a great purchase to bring the darkness back to my screen. Note: works just as well on my iPhone/iPad as well..Version: 1.4.4

This extension changed my life.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..Version: 1.4.6

Simply AwesomeI've been using dark reader on Chrome for a long time but recently learned that Chrome is causing my MacBook Pro to overheat, so I wanted to switch to Safari to keep my computer cooler. Anyway, I'm so happy I found this extension for Safari. Having dark mode makes being on the web way more enjoyable, especially at night..Version: 1.3.3

Better than Turn Off the LightsThis works well. Previously had issues with Turn Off the Lights (a free dark mode extension for Safari) blacking out images and showing some text as black/dark grey on black. Turn Off the Lights even blacks out an image on their own website which Dark Reader does not. Figured I might be better with this paid alternative, and I was right. My Youtube icon when I am logged in on the top right now shows in dark mode (Google shows this as a single letter) unlike Turn Off the Lights. So far I have not seen any black on black text unlike Turn Off the Lights. However I am moving back to Firefox since there are barely any extensions in Safari. It seems Apple have blocked a lot of freedom to install extensions natively within Safari, and their app store section for extensions is a joke, only about 20 there. Extensions like VideoDuke (for downloading videos) have to do a weird workaround where it opens its own browser window in a seperate app, rather than a clickable extension logo like Firefox/Chrome. These workarounds are related to Apple's walled garden. Not related to Dark Reader, but I'd thought I should tell. Dark Reader works natively and within Safari, so isn't part of the problem. Dark Reader has been excellent, and it seems the app author responds to people, so great support. Well done..Version: 1.3.3

Fan-freaking TasticIt's so too bad that you can't darken up pdf's and images, because for everything else, this is perfect. I spend most of my day in a browser, because business apps now mostly run in browsers. Even on google's apps, where you have to make one tweak, this is so much better than any other plugin trying to darken in any other browser. I'm glad I ponied up the $5.00 or whatever it was. Mad props, brother..Version: 1.3.3

Without a doubt the best money I've spendIf you desire dark mode on everything. THIS IS FOR YOU! Hands down the best money I've spent in a VERY LONG TIME. Works seemless for almost every website I've used. If your a Google Suite poweruser, this is life saving from the white light. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Now I can go back into my dark mode lair without fear of the light. PS - for the developers - you guys need to sell out to Apple. This would be perfect for the Apple ecosystem as an option. Great product..Version: 1.3.3

Best 'dark' mode extension out thereThis is great! I use it both on chrome and safari. Everything looks better and they've done a fantastic job. Great job! Wish list: Please replicate all the features to safari. Safari consumes much less energy on laptops than chrome and firefox so it's my browser of choice..Version: 1.1.0

Works really well, but need one featureUsed the web version for a long time. Stable as rock for iOS too. Just one feature requirement, what about a time adaptive dark mode, like no dark mode in day and dark mode in night or use system setting. Otherwise takes too many steps to turn it on and off..Version: 1.1.0

Great for those blinding white websites.As it is now it's already a great addon. However I would like to suggest 2 things: Have an opt-in mode, so it's off by default on all websites, and you only turn it on for those you want. Currently it works as an always-on with the option to disable it for specific sites. Have a per-site option for Dynamic vs Filter modes. I've noticed a couple of sites looking better in Filter mode, and most others better in Dynamic. The current global switch (all Dynamic or all Filter) is not ideal. Thanks.Version: 1.1.0

Love this App, But Have Issues with a Number of SitesI enjoy using this app and have had it installed for quite a long time, however, in some instances when browsing using Safari, the dark mode leads to corruption of the website data meaning that the site does not display properly. This is particularly irritating with the BBC News website which I view daily. There is also an issue with viewing my bank website, and the website often crashes (an error code is displayed and the site will not allow log in until Safari is restarted). Hence only 4 stars....Version: 1.4.4

Works A Charm InstantlyGreat app that really integrates dark mode perfectly with all websites – seemingly no issues or missed areas etc. Works 100% as described and does its job perfectly. Thoroughly recommend!.Version: 1.3.3

Great productThank you for saving my eyes in the wee ours of the night..Version: 1.3.2

Much better than Night eyeJust bought this like 1 minue ago because i was using the free month of pro night eye but then it terminated. This is actually better than night eye in gneral. More customizable, and it actually renders stuff much better without the clors going bonkers. Great app defentily worth the extra 2 buck over some of the other nght mode apps on the app store! also has highest uer base so it is the most likely to get updates and be a better app in general. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.4.2

Awesome app with just one missing featureI use Dark Reader across all my browsers and have been very pleased. I love the fact it is so fast loading and that it allows a bypass for sites that have their own dark mode. The only thing missing to make this a five star app would be allow a per site setting for overriding a sites built in dark mode. That said, I am very please with the purchase and will recommend this app to friends..Version: 1.3.0

Been using for awhile, glad it’s on iOS now!Thanks to iOS 15, this works as a safari extension. I’ve been using the pc browser extension for a long time and I’m so glad it’s on iOS. Right when Apple announced that safari extensions would be a thing, I got so excited and couldn’t wait for dark reader. 100% worth the price..Version: 1.0

Two weeks in and it's perfect.Happily paid for the Mac OS version. No other app appearing quietly - and not being included in Apple's 'must have safari mobile extentions' list - makes me happier. Welcome to the dark side!.Version: 1.1.0

Worth a quick fiver to support the dev...I must admit, I was nervous at first. I'd just finished saving up to dive back into the world of Mac, realised that my go-to extension for darkening the web was available for Safari but with a price tag and I wasn't sure whether it would even be of the quality I know it to be from the other browsers. I needn't have worried. It's the exact same extension I've come to rely on so hard (a userstyles extension like Stylish/Stylus isn't even needed) without any corners cut. The second I enabled it my web transformed. I had been using some free night mode or night light extension (something like that) for a couple of days and while it worked OK, it would break on a lot of sites. For Dark Reader, it "just works" and looks natural. Note to the dev: Consider this purchase my way of supporting all your hard work across the browsers. Just please don't charge me again. :P.Version: 1.3.3

Almost always perfectIt works, and it works great, but there's more than a few times where I'm on a site that doesnt work well with dark mode so I have to turn it off or back on, but when I click the icon at the top, nothing happens. I end up having to right click, hit manage extensions and then remove and re-enable dark reader. It's not too big of a deal, just a minor inconvenience that happens pretty often..Version: 1.4.5

Great but..This is one of the best dark more apps for safari but I would love it if the devs added a feature to allow the app to switch on and off depending of the time of the day (day or night) for us users who always have our phones on dark mode, but want to see webpages in their original format during the day..Version: 1.2.1
