Today we have at the top the username. A tap on the user opens the menu _User data_. My motivation is - to reduce things, so the user can concentrate on other stuff - Shorten the menu to have easier access to other items - Shorten the menu in general ![grafik](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/4/54d15bcb47832e1c7553b4aae1014f3bc3d4c7c9.png) Menu opens: ![grafik](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/9/0907f9c9863575aa466d69f3147667e6f6226a85.png) * * * Additionally we have in the settings a block _General_, which is - from my point - obsolete and can be removed, if these settings are put into the “User data”. ![grafik](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/5/9/59e40fe54a4eda9824005b848c16afb9bdcee9bd.png) – **Settings - General - Language** I have tried with two users. User #1 set to _DE_ and User #2 to _EN_. When logging into the app with the two users, the language of the app was the language which was set here. For example setting _EN_ - the language did not change. Correct would be at this point the naming \*App-language" instead of just “Language”. In real life, it makes in 99,9% no difference, as only one user uses the installation. Nevertheless my proposal: Please make also the language user-dependant. - Save the language in the user profile - When logging into the app, check the langugage of the user and change, if required - Remove this setting \*Language" from the \*Settings"-menu - Add _Language_ to the user menu * * * **Settings - General - Unit of length** I have tried with two users. User #1 set to _km_ and User #2 to _miles_. Already today - when logging into the app - the unit for the user is used. Proposal: - Remove _Unit of length_ from the \*Settings"-menu - Add this _Unit of length_ to the user menu **Settings - General - Profile settings** This option opens the same menu _User data_ as if i tap on my user at the top. It is redundant. Tapping on the user seems to me a common way to access user data. I guess, that even users with little knowledge and training will find this. Most of the users will have some experience with shops, banking- or insurance-sites, where the user data is accessible by some user-releated hint at the top.

In doubt, the user will recognize the user-data at the top, an icon could be added (3-dots or a gear). ---

Thanks for the proposal. > [@Toffel](#): > > Additionally we have in the settings a block _General_, which is - from my point - obsolete and can be removed, if these settings are put into the “User data”. Language and Units is something users with no account need to set as well, so we can’t move it to the profile/account. So we would need a way to set these things for users with no account, and then we end up with two settings screens. > [@Toffel](#): > > This option opens the same menu _User data_ as if i tap on my user at the top. It is redundant. Yes this is correct. I am not 100% happy with this either 🤔. ---
