Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When viewing the list of recorded tracks, multiple date formats are used in the same place, making it confusing to figure out when things are happening. The first few tracks use a relative date format ("Today", "Yesterday"), then the next few use a day of the week ("Friday", "Saturday") presumably meaning the previous week days, though it's very unclear to me what the date is, then beyond that it actually uses the correct date (so these are the only ones where I always know what day a thing happened on without having to stop and think).

Describe the solution you'd like

All track recordings should just use the actual date.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It was suggested to me by someone else that you might be able to get the best of both worlds by showing the date and time in the exact same way in the exact same position for all of them, but then also including a small bit of "context" under some of them that included the relative date (ie. "today", "yesterday", etc.). I am not sure what exactly that would look like in the case of OpenTracks, but it made sense to me to include this as context without replacing the entire date if you still want or needed it for some reason.

Additional context

A screenshot from OpenTracks, a track recording app for Android. Several bike rides are shown. The first two in the date field say "Today" and "Yesterday", the second two say "Monday" and "Friday" and the last two show actual dates.

I don't really do Android stuff anymore or have any sort of dev setup to do it, sorry. Not demanding a quick fix or anything, I just wanted to file/document the issue. Sorry I can't be the one to fix it.
