Manage expense data and time

I was adding an expense to my group and since I like to have things right in terms of dates in case I want to go back in time and review what expense is that, I was editing the date since it was a few days ago.

I knew it was from Thursday but I didn’t have the calendar days mapped to the days of the week in my mind. Since the UI doesn’t showed me the days of the week I had 3 options:

1) make mental calculations to pick the right day

2) exit the app and check the day on a calendar

3) ignore and save with a wrong day. The balance is what matters the most anyway

I opted by the third. But it was a small moment of frustration.

Suggestion: add the week day visible on the UI when the user is picking the date.

Suggestion 2: the time remains the current time when I go back in time. Probabilities are really low that the time is right when I’m adding a expense in a different day. Should it go empty in those cases and only if the user selects it it would be populated?

    I think we’ll add calendar view to pick date, since it shows weekdays much better than the wheel. Do you think this is would be better for you?

    Thanks Jorge. Another valuable feedback, we do need to improve this date/time picker and showing weekdays makes a lot of sense, even more when editing and going back in time.

    We’ll improve this flow. Thanks again for taking the time and really helping us improve. I’ll update you with progress.
