You'll always have reflections outside, white or black UI; it's all about the contrast ratio to keep things readable. The main interactions of the app have a bright UI.
In my experience bright UI works better outside. But as you already mentioned: a high contrast ratio can do the trick.
Other than that: the on/off switches don't feel right. The on part is 'on top' while the off part has inset. I think both should have inset (like Apple's).
I also agree with Nick on the switches :-)
Will the switches slide like the native ones? Because the handle of the off state and on state are different...

Why did you decide to design custom UI elements and not use Apple's defaults? Just curious.

The default on/off doesn't fit in a dark UI.
The font of the app is not Helvetica;
and... the app will be released on multiple platforms anyway.

Looks nice :-)
Will this app be used inside because of the dark UI? :-)

No, it will probably be used outside 99% of the time.

Oh but why not consider a brighter UI instead of a dark UI? Because the readability will be a lot better outside in the sun, not? :-)
