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.
