Ratings and reviews

It really is an amazing app. The logs finally show up properly. But it has bug... Also ...I don't trust the "needing permission for root access". it's just safe if it isn't Samsung or your cellular manufacturer...

i think something is broken in latest update, no logs are showing or being saved. no idea if it's error on my side but previously on a different rom it was working great & the record logs (auto saves in a file) option really helped a lot when had to capture logs of device restarting at a specific event.

First it does, it fills it's RAM limit so can't work. You must press + and pause. So you can look the app. Very valuable app. Saves time anyway. Experiment with one app, look for some 'service' in log, write that service in filter and you'll see only it in log.
