When in dark mode, the app's background turns black, yet some text doesn't turn white, it stays black. I really like the app but I don't want to disable dark mode iny phone just for this.

The colors and brightness/contrast levels make everything VERY hard to see and read and it’s not that I am elderly or have vision difficulties. Should consider changing the color scheme/palette. The color scheme that’s displayed on the App Store is NOT what I’m seeing. Mine is black with purple writing… some verbiage does not even show up so I have big sections of nothing 😩

I found this app to be very useful in preparing to receive the Sacrament. I found it to be concise but thorough and touches on all the bases for a good confession - not only in examining one’s conscience but also demonstrating how one should properly present their failing to a priest. A very good app and worthwhile for those desiring to make a good confession.
