QSL App - Dark Mode tip
Having trouble with some screens appearing as black in the QSL App? This is a result of a recent Apple update which can set your phone's settings to 'Dark Mode'. To resolve this issue, just open the Settings feature of your phone, and then select Display>Brightness>Light Mode. The QSL App team is currently working on a fix to apply Light Mode automatically when you open the QSL App, but the manual change will address the issue in the interim.
