I think the information is designed clearly but q bit dense and is in need of some modernization. I’m just becoming familiar with it and haven’t had a chance to review the app in its current form on desktop or mobile yet (just seen screenshots so far). I have some initial ideas though ,
1. for example does the user need to see everything all at once or can things be shown only when the user needs it, thinking of collapsing information inside of different interactive access controls, eg onclick panels, accordions, sliders etc., basically leveraging invisible space as much as possible so the user can focus on a few things at a time. 2. Given the above maybe there is a way to combine the information contained in the tabs to lessen the amount of tabs needed, just rethinking the nav and consolidating similar areas may help it feel like less even though its the same amount of info. 3. Visualizing stats wherever possible, eg. gas consumption can be visualized against the total perhaps, things like this. Give me a day or so to take a hard look and can spin you guys up something cool Noob question i have right now is, can users log data only manually is it possible to do semi or fully automatically? This app reminds me of a snowboarding app i once had, does similar things going to look for some inspo there.
