Absolutely fantastic for late night writing, sometimes the way the letters turn into white look a little weird but have had no problems

Does make the background of google docs dark no problem but the white text on black 'paper' is very blurry for me with smaller font sizes and a good amount of icons and checkmarks, etc that are already dark become basically invisible. If you really want dark mode this does the job but there could be a tiny more effort put into making everything readable. Especially if the app is asking for donations. At least polish things first...
