It's very old software and that's unlikely to change. You can read about it in threads in the About this board forum.

I use a very basic line graph and have learned to fix a few gotchas. Like skipping a data point or getting calendar days to enter automatically.

I like tweeking it so it's pretty also. I could be avoiding studying Français.

If you want I can post what I do with some screenshots.
One hard thing to find was how to skip data points and still have a continuous line on the graph.
That's in Chart Editor>Chart Style>Plot Null Values

I get the dates by entering the first date, then in the next day I enter the function =B5+1. Then copy that function all the way down. It even ends the month on the correct day. B5 is the column the dates are in.

And the phone trick, I get the goog sheet in my phone.
Pick the 3 button menu > Available offline >Share & Export > Add to Home screen.

That allows access directly to that file. It will probably showup in your last phone page where you can move to any page or add it to a group by dragging it over an existing file icon. That will make a group icon.
I have one icon with about five files in a group now on my start page.

cheers!

Nice workarounds.
I use Open Office Calc, their excel style spreadsheets for my orchid record keeping.
I've kept it very simple, one row for each plant, columns for different aspects, reference number, name, where from, cost, potting details etc.
Individual notes are added into a column using the Insert Comment feature which allow the notes to pop up.

Wow Libre took off from Open Office and left them in the dust.

Libre and Open Office started years ago as Star Office, from a German company.
