It's not that this feature is broken , it's just that she's not very developed.
This setting is for the Start/End Date once displayed in your list. (You need to add the Start/End Date column by checking the box on the same page as the Date format setting)

i can confirm that the settings displayed on my list is working fine yeah, but still its confusing to have to enter the date in a different format (and i ended up entering the wrong one many times over ,i inverted the month with the week day)

Yes I mean the official app!. For the dates it's pretty simple to use. Don't know if it's different on IOS vs Android but okay. At least you don't have the problem of mixing up day/month.
