USCIS Customer Insights

1. Although having issues with dark theme (either on battery saving mode or just as a phone theme) where questions are using dark theme contrast font color (white) but the background is also white, so can't see the text.

2. House vs House of Representatives)Good idea! Poor execution! The questions in the practice test display in white on a light gray background making it almost impossible to see.

3. Text is illegible in dark mode because the font in the app turns white but the background stays white instead of turning dark, thus making it impossible to read the text.

4. Somebody changed the color of the question to white color by default and i cant even look into the setting everything is white first i thought maybe my mother did it by mistake but then i check my phone same there.I had installed this app in 2020, and now found that it still referenced that the Republicans were still in power.

5. At least change it to grey, please.For users who are unable to read the questions disable dark mode.

6. The questions are hard to read because the letters are white and the background is white.

7. Second, the answers do not represent all the choices available, focusing only on one option, while during the real test you may have a different set of potential answers, for example U.S territory Guam is repeated all over again, while there is 3 more in guide.Issue with dark theme.

8. The app has an issue though, it has a white text on a white background, which is impossible to read.

9. It also option in Spanish.I am unable to read any question it is all white.
