I noticed there is not so many dark apps on the app store. With few exceptions such as Spotify, it makes me wonder. On the other hand, Android seems to embrace dark colors a bit more.

Is there any specific danger in designing dark UI such as the one below that I am working on?

Thank you.

It has more to do with what's in vogue at the moment. A few years ago, all apps hard dark UI with much more gloss. It's really up to you or your client.

I would encourage you to continue on your current path. Without a doubt, the visually lighter interfaces are more popular - but there is no danger in simply using a darker color scheme. The dangers come from specific implementation decisions.

Some other dark mobile apps for iOS include:

Resy
most National Geographic apps
Moves
Slingshot
Elevate
Expedia
Medium

Hope these provide inspiration for what you're going for.
