I sifted thru a search on here and didn't find this question, so here goes.
Does anyone know of a SIMPLE Android app database? I sharpen a lot of knives, and I put the owners name, knife description, and edge angle on a notepad on my phone. Problem is, I have about 80 or so knives on it, and occasionally add more. It sometimes takes too much time to find the particular knife, so I'm defeating the time saving purpose of saving the angles to begin with. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
You don't need a database for that. A spreadsheet will work like a champ for a "flat database".
Google Sheets works well for that sort of thing. And it has the advantage that you can access it from a desktop computer as well as your phone.
 
Google Sheets has a search function. And it will let you filter data. For example, "knives I sharpened for Joe Bidwell"
 
I embed the info into photos and keep the photos in their own folders. It works great for me. I don't know what system you are using but I'm sure that they have something similar to MS PowerPoint - that's what I use. You can see what I mean in the two photos below.
