I have put the MIT App Inventor file in the files, but it can also be found here https://gallery.appinventor.mit.edu/?galleryid=d98420c1-e244-4317-a858-78d57e5b392e.

Get A Google Sheets ready.

Follow these, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PurfpFV6_ncXq-SvMKCF7_xBHKTWF10L1LqmHoSTUF4/edit#, instructions to create a sheet. The sheet that I used has 4 columns (Date, Step, Field, Notes) on a sheet called 'data', and one other sheet called fields where I put the slang name of our fields. Below is photos to better explain.

Log into MIT App Inventor

Now you have to create or log into your MIT App Inventor account, https://appinventor.mit.edu/. Then you either have to download the app file I have on this site or go to my project page, https://gallery.appinventor.mit.edu/?galleryid=d98420c1-e244-4317-a858-78d57e5b392e, on the MIT App Inventor and open my project up.

Enter your JSON Credential File

While going through step one you should have downloaded a JSON credential file that gives access to the sheet you created. You will need to load that file into the project as shown below.
