But it does it both easier and better than pen/paper because it does it automatically without them needing to even think about it. And it's already available electronically so they can graph it and run statistics on their usage and trips...you know, actually use the data for something purposeful.
With pen/paper they just have a sheet they can't do anything with. They now have to manually enter all this data to use it for anything, which is a lot on unnecessary manual effort.
Ok.
On my phone, I can use Google sheets (or excel or whatever) and get all the benefits, except for the automatic recording. For $5/mo in perpetuity?
I'm not anti app. I don't understand why someone would pay this much for this function.
If you want all the metrics that it logs automatically, you're going to be spending 20min every time you drive anywhere logging everything manually. And then you're still not getting the continuous logging during drives. Plus you still need to do all the data processing yourself on top of that.
I get why some people pay for these things.
