This app does exactly what it says it does, allows you to view the all logcat files on your phone without root. Those giving this app a bad review, do not understand how this works or what it is used for and should not use this app. A bit of history, when Google released Android 4.1, they changed the system so that an app can only read its logcat file and not others. For an app to read all logcat files, you either need root access or you need to issue a command using ADB on a computer. You cannot just install this app and expect it to work out of the box. To get this app to work, first you need to enable USB debugging in Developer options on your phone. ADB and this app need that to issue the command and access the logcat files. Then, you need to plug your phone into a computer that has ADB on it. Once it is plugged in, you need to open the command prompt on your phone, navigate to the folder with ADB, and then run the command "adb tcpip 5555." This app then uses remote debugging (acts like a PC to access USB debugging), so each time you open this app, you will need to allow the "computer" to access the phone.

Works perfectly, I feel sorry for the developer for all the bad ratings from people who can't read. Traditionally, people learn to read before they learn to write, it seems the exception to that flocked to bad reviews of this app. And even more scary is that probably half are developers... Disturbing! Anyway, grwat app, works as stated, nice interface and balance on features.

This app works as described. I rarely write reviews but some ignorant people who can't follow instructions a 5 year old can are blaming this app for viruses, robocalls and what not made me do it. The app works perfectly, is open source, virus free and is the best of its kind. kudos.
