I'm trying to find out if Dark mode is available in this app or website using an Android phone or a Windows 10 pc? I don't seem to see anything in the settings tab. Thanks so much. I'm sure it would help many of us. Happy Valentine's 💝 day.

I don’t use the Health Unlocked App, but the web based version. I am pretty certain that this site does not support dark mode on the web based version, as with Google Chrome you can automatically switch to Dark mode if it has been programmed in. I am not sure about the app, which I have never used. In fact I did not even know there was one available.

I think the App was discontinued a few years ago - after there had been a few issues.

The App is no longer used… and I think you can change to dark mode on your phone. Just look online.Videos available

Never tried on PC -but see this -

You can automatically switch to Dark mode on most computers with an up to date operating system, but the application’s software has got to have been written to cater for dark mode to work. So if you set Dark mode on your computer it will still be light mode if the program does not cater for Dark mode, which in fact is probably a large percentage of computer packages.

..and probably HU in that case. According to my “ in family” IT expert -it’s pretty rubbish and underfunded!

Sadly. Being able to use Dark mode on my Android phone and on my Windows 10 PC makes all the differences in the world. But I don't walk around with my PC. I'm usually accessing here from my phone. I'm just not able to read long with the white background, it's Blinding in addition to the visual problem and pain. Maybe some of you lovely ladies can send it up the chain!

They don't take a blind bit of notice of us on the bread and butter essentials so I doubt us saying anything would achieve much!!

Unfortunate, that was at the top don't listen to the end users who know the most.

We could ask -but don’t have a lot of faith in any meaningful feedback. Guessing their response would be that individuals can get adaptations to assist with sight and hearing issues on IT -and it would be all too difficult for HU…

Sorry. But willing to ask…

PS -like your excerpt-and as it says, long time alone. Doesn’t necessarily make the loss any easier though although probably not helped by it being late hubby’s birthday 2 days later.
