This is a very clever app that does a great job of allowing you to troubleshoot strange crashes and see what your device up to. Like others I was not able to hit grant in the sudo window that popped up, but I was able to go into SuperSU and grant access in the list of apps there.
cm 11 m9 when requesting su, it wont let me press allow, ive reinstalled and same issue, very very strange. I can select deny but not accept, this is first time its happened.
Can't select allow for SU. I see others had same problem, running Lollipop 5.02
Really handy for seeing logs in real time as you're working on something affecting log output.
It's simply awesome. A must-have app for backtracing the bugs! I really ove your overlay screen idea 👍
Neat way of finding out how stuff works! TCT Alcatel OT 7040E -rooted
Its a good.. app.. to get log data's n even mail it Thanks for good apps
A huge help would pay for a pimped out version.
Cant share log info for an app that doesnt work with the developer ... any thoughts guys???
Don't need
Great tool, but using OS 4.1.2 on a K2_CL there is no option in the notification bar to share, pause, and/or play. Specifically to share/save the logcat. Please add the ability to save the logcat for lesser API. The inability to review the logcat makes it pointless. Otherwise, very nice.
You must have this app if you're an Android developer. Can see all the logs in the screen. No need to skip to DDMS to see the logs if you are using Eclipse. Thanks to the developer.
It hangs when clicking the notification while in overlay mode.
Exactly what I needed, other apps requires to switch between apps. This is Perfect. Btw, love the icon on notification bar.
Much better than other logcat viewers, really useful to see it on screen at the same time. Filtering also very handy, as is the share feature.
Everytime I press grant to allow superuser access nothing happens. Like it ignores my presses.
Takes me to settings page just after granting root acess immediately after fresh install where I'm unable to do anything except back out and.. uninstall... Is android 5.0 lollipop supported?
I'm a developer and need to test a lot of things based on logs. I have crashlytics installed but it's not the complete package since my team's Q&A don't have much knowledge about android. This app helps us in performing some basic tests based on logs and the best part is you do not need to have root access. A lot of thought has gone in building this app. Thanks!
