What do you want to change. A “why” would be fine as well. Only about my intrest ---

I want to change it to the normal format that I am used to like the 1st of January 2026. No reason other than familiarity. ---

I usually do not pay much attention to the date format, but now that it was mentioned, I would like to report a related error (Android 12). ### In Kurviger app In folder overview, the date is displayed in **MM/DD/YYYY** format, but when I open the folder, the date format changes to **DD/MM/YYYY**. Examples: ![App folder](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/4/24b00d175ed56d39044c761fc8eecc0c7c67a60a.jpeg) ![App Routes](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/f/3/f3d2778b61fc259ed225432096e785e9b33adf0d.jpeg) ### In mobile browser In Brave browser, two different date formats are used as well, but this time **DD.MM.YYYY** and **DD/MM/YYYY** ![Browser folder](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/b/7/b70b548f2d89375ed3422c0201868d002ba1378c.jpeg) ![Browser routes](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/d/a/dac783e4214994c344755cdc6cf99c38830d0041.jpeg) **UPDATE:** Apparently date format in folders and favourites is language dependent, whereas for the routes it is not. I would also like to give to the consideration that although in United States the MDY order may be common, in Europe DMY appears to be more common. For users from Europe, whose language is not supported in the app and hence switch to English, the app enforces the unfamiliar MDY order. Here is an overview: > **[List of date formats by country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country)** > > The legal and cultural expectations for date and time representation vary between countries, and it is important to be aware of the forms of all-numeric calendar dates used in a particular country to know what date is intended. > Writers have traditionally written abbreviated dates according to their local custom, creating all-numeric equivalents to day–month formats such as "23 January 2026" (23/01/26, 23/01/2026, 23-01-2026 or 23.01.2026) and month–day formats such as "January 23, 2026" (01/... ---

This is really interesting, it should not be different, thanks for finding this, we will have a look. > [@t00thl355](#): > > Apparently date format in folders and favourites is language dependent, whereas for the routes it is not. We let the system format the date in the default time format, the system uses. So it should depend on your settings from your phone / pc / browser. We will double check though. ---

Ok, in my APP ( Android,German config ) the date is always DD.MM.YYYY. Web on german PC the same. A PC with Win11 hungarian Installation, changed to english i got a difference. Normal in Cloud folder and hungarian style ( MM/DD/YYYY ) for the routes. ---

> [@boldtrn](#): > > So it should depend on your settings from your phone / pc / browser. I tested different combinations, these are my results: 1. The date format in the **folder list** and **favourites list** is directly dependent on the **language set in the App** (not on the phone settings). 2. The date in the **route list** is dependent on the language set in the **phone settings**. ---

We double checked the behaviour. The formatting on the website now works the same both for folder and routes/favorites. It now depends on the language settings (not phone settings). The formatting itself is done by the browser though, so it can still depend on the browser, phone settings, location, etc.
