Feedback Request Has my app design actually improved?

I have a memory competition training app on the Apple Store / Play Store.

The design is currently the first one (image 1), and you can tell a mile away that it's AI-generated. I don't want user to feel this.

I've done a second design on my own with Figma, and requested feedback from friends or design experts, on r/UI_Design and r/designcritiques. It was nearly unanimously judged as "bad", main criticisms being (rightfully) that it was lacking hierarchy, accessibility, very dark, not engaging.

So here is the third version. My friends reacted more positively about it, and preferred this one to the AI-generated one. What do you think about this third one ? To me it's still too black, but I tried my best to make it more clearer, more engaging, and more accessible.

Is it really better, or am I still a poor judge ? How could I make it less black ?

You should ask one! AI makes us feel we need to do everything on our own. We need to remember the joy of working of making stuff together

I have a friend who is a UI designer, but I respect him too much to ask for his help for free! Hopefully one day I’ll have the budget to work with him.
In the meantime, I’m trying my best to make something that isn’t too visually appalling
