My lab has started building their own apps for data collection! Below is a link my informal course on how to get started. Here is an example of an app that we use to phenotype oysters. With the app we can also take a picture of the sample - the photo is automatically uploaded to the cloud and a link to the photo is automatically added to our database.
You too can do this! All you need is basic spreadsheet knowledge.
