Ratings and reviews

Yes you can view the log - after running the Adb command. But, the Android log is chock full of entries so searchability is a big deal and that's where the app falls short. While I can isolate entries by search string I can't then navigate to the position of a given entry and view it in full context - big failing - and scrolling through is simply impossible due to volume of entries. And saved logs can't be opened in readable form looks like the compressed zip file is opened without decompression

must-have application for anybody with debugging needs. PS the review from 29/05/21 incorrectly states that logs can't be read / opened from the ML provided zip. I'm only speculating but I suspect that the issue was with the reviewer's device, not Matlog, because I'm literally staring rn at logs that I pulled 10 minutes ago from a different device; ran Matlog, saved/shared the zip and then pulled 3 .txt files from the .zip file, which are all 100% legible. I see nothing resembling a problem

Can you please help me re-enable my logs? I disabled it by renaming "logd" in system/bin to "logd.bak". I recently wanted to re enable it but no file explorer was able to rename it back to "logd". I finally renamed it to "logd" but logging seems to not be working because this app loads forever with no text like it used to and other apps that use logcat don't work either. Please help!
