If youвЂ™re reading a huge amount of text it works, but IвЂ™m skeptical of its value elsewhere. I do use dark mode on (webnovels) and it works well. For example, having a dark mode selector in Safari and Word to easy switch back and forth. My guess is it needs to be App (or website) specific rather at the OS level to work well. I tried вЂњdark modeвЂќ in general in IOS and it was poorly implemented. I use dark mode in the Kindle App on my IPad (7+ years now) and will never go back. YouвЂ™re always on the latest version and have little to worry about when it comes to compatibility with macOS or iOS.

I donвЂ™t mind the subscription model for apps that I use everyday and are important to me for my data and finances, like Quicken. The 1TB One Drive account included is nice along with Skype.

I guess itвЂ™s supposed to be easier on the eyes for those who stare at a screen for 10 hours a day or something.Д«ut i installed the Office updates without issues and have to say that an Office 365 subscription has worked out well for me and my wife. I tired dark mode too and soon returned to regular mode. Like so many of these kinds of features its something the design engineers think is cool or some people asked for. Beyond that, I have to use Outlook for work, and man is it a PITA to use! (ex: try to tell if you're in a private browsing window in safari with dark mode!) In the end it really didn't matter and I switched it back. I tried it - things looked different and often times it mad ether interface lest clear. I'm trying to figure out what the big deal is with dark mode.
