AppInventor's TinyDB possibilities and limits

Question

I am a total beginner with programming and I have a little experience with mostly python, php and html.

I need to realize a very simple app for my smartphone that allows me to track a simple YES or NO every month for every customer.

It's strange but I need it to be like this.

So, asking for (e.g.) the March report the app would show me all user names and a simple YES or NO describing if that username paid me or not.

I can do this easily with an xls file but I want to realize it for fun and learning.

My question is: can I achieve a similar result (I need an Insert page where I insert customers, a modify page and a report page) simply using AppInventor? Is TinyDB enough for this?

I could skip all this and realize a very simple webapp in php with mysql but I really dream about doing something "mine" and see it run on android.

I'd like to be able to realize it in a very simple and fast way: if AppInventor is not enough is there another solution "for dummies"?
