I’m excited to try this! First feedback after installing: I don’t think the app integrates properly with iOS “dark mode” theme; I am finding some text entry boxes show a white text on white background, so I can’t effectively use the app yet.
- Swalden123 5y agoHi! Thanks for letting me know you are having a problem. I'm unable to replicate any problems with dark mode in some tests I am doing. Can you let me know what device you are using and where the text is?
- patentatt 5y agoI’m having the same problem. Latest iOS, iPhone 11pro, dark mode, and white text on white background in the little white bubble right above the keyboard to enter a list name or a list item. Also, the list items themselves are white on white.
- Swalden123 5y agoThanks for the info, will have an update submitted hopefully today to resolve the issue.
- Swalden123 5y agoI've been able to replicate the issue now, basically, if you have dark mode on and increased contrast on under "Accessibility" > "display and text size" you end up with white text on white backgrounds. A temporary fix would be disabling increased contrast. I'm going to be making an update now that will allow the app to support increased contrast. It will be live as soon as Apple approve it. Spencer
- tomr_stargazer 5y agoMy device is an iPhone 6S Plus. I’m on iOS 14.4.2. I see “white on white” text in my first text entry box to create a new checklist, and also when viewing the items inside a checklist. The items in a checklist become visible as white text upon gray background only after I mark those items “completed” (ie strikethrough). Thanks again!
- Swalden123 5y agoThanks for the detailed info. I'm working on an update today :)

- tomr_stargazer 5y agoIt works! Thanks Spencer!!
- philsnow 5y agoI'm on an iphone 12 mini, have the same issue (I emailed you some screenshots before seeing this comment in the HN post, but it's the text box where I'm naming a new checklist and also the text entry when I'm adding items to an existing checklist). As a workaround I created some automations in Shortcuts to turn light mode on when I open the app and turn it back to dark when I close it.
- Swalden123 5y agoAwesome workaround with shortcuts! Something I'm definitely going to find useful. I'll hopefully have an update submitted at the end of today that fixes any bugs with dark mode.
- Swalden123 5y agoDid you send the email to help@checkyourlist.app?
- philsnow 5y ago99.9% sure that I did, but I had to transcribe the address by hand since I couldn't long-press to copy it like I expected. Tapping the email address in the app opens Mail.app, which I've never bothered to set up in 6 years of iphone usage.
- Swalden123 5y agoAmazingly in SwiftUI there still is no way to open a different email app without writing a lot of code as a workaround. I'll see if I can change it to be long-pressable in the meantime.
