It's a nice app and I'm highly satisfied with it's performance. But I face some problems in reading notifications in dark mode as the colour of the text is dark which almost mixes with the background colour which is also black. It would be better if the colour of texts in notification is white, as it fits with the dark background.

It somewhat works for me. It changes at the scheduled times but when in dark mode it randomly switches to auto (which does not work on my phone for some reason) and everything turns white multiple times /night. . Instagram doesn't switch also even though it says it's supported.. I payed for premium just so I could have a widget button but for some reason the 1 tile button is actualy a 1x2 and messes up the home screen layout and looks off and takes unnecessary space. What's the point of that?

Great FAQ. This app enables the built-in android night mode which existed on some older android devices but had no built-in way to enable it. Pro: not a filter overlay so no interference with installing other apps. Con: the device and individual apps can choose to ignore the setting. Unfortunately, too many apps on my device ignore the setting, so I am forced to go back to Twilight (an app which applies an overlay filter to achieve the night mode effect).
