I finally fixed the worst part of my route planning app after a user complaint

A driver I know sent me a message saying, 'The 'avoid tolls' button is useless, it still puts me on the 407.' He was right, the toggle was buried in a menu and didn't save between sessions. I moved the toggle right next to the start and end address fields and made sure it stays on until you turn it off. Has anyone else had an app ignore a simple setting like that?

Hmm, I get what you're saying about moving it up front, but honestly having the toggle save between sessions sounds like a pain too. What if I borrow my buddy's car for a day and suddenly my carefully set preferences are still active? I'd rather just tap it when I need it than have to remember to turn it off every time I open the app. Plus, if a user only avoids tolls once a month, that saved setting is just gonna cause headaches later.

Tried reseting mine after each trip. Simple habit, no problems since.
