Logcat Reader
Features:
• Color coded logs based on log priority
• Search through log messages and tags
• Option to select from available log buffers*
• Save the logs as a simple text file (as you would see via logcat)
• Dark UI theme (switches on at night automatically by default)
*May not work on all devices, in which case, the option will simply not be present in Settings.
Permissions:
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
Needed for saving logs.
android.permission.READ_LOGS
Required for fetching all of the logs, not just the ones produced by the app itself, instructions to grant this permission will show every time the app is opened.
Tested on:
HTC One (m7)
HTC 10

Nice looking and working app. Unfortunately filters are not working as expected. e.g. when I want to filter error and fatal log levels, no log shows anymore.
Definitely one of the best logcat apps on Android, it doesn't require root, instead, you grant access with an ADB shell command. Decent UI, good filtering features, dark theme, it has everything I expected.
Works without root but had to restart twice. UI could be more usable. e.g. long clicking an event automatically adds its PID/TID/log lebel into filters or possibility to disable to filter to avoid the need to recreate them.
I by-mistakely deleted a key-module in my device.. And landed with many problems on my device.With the perfect filters and beautiful ui of this app.. i was able to identify that which module exactly it was. Then i downloaded it from web.. and everything got fixed.. Loved it♡♡♡♡
Been using for years. Clean, no ads, allows root or adb access, easy save and filter functions
Without this app I would never be able to quickly diagnose and debug issues to the same level. Fantastic software - great job.
I like it actually. But I'll only give it 4 stars because it's hassle to manually input the package names of any app that I want to work with. Please make it less hassle in the next update. Been using this app for a long time now.
Good design. It handles scrolling action in a very bright way. Feature request: pinch to zoom & item collapsing. Thank you!
After giving asked permission using manual mode - Doesn't showing any log at all and this app itself started crashing. And now I even adb logcat command not working from PC. Anyone knows how to fix adb logcat problem with PC?
Good app! Working very good but you can add adaptive icon and adaptive theme + transparent navigation bar to make experience better!
Great application for your phone and it's really easy to use and I am able to find what I am looking for quickly highly recommend this application it's the best I've found and I've had several wish I'd found this application sooner it's brilliant thanks for making such a easy to use and amazing application
good app overall, but i hope there's simpler way to filter logs by verbosity, like a dedicated menu to filter by log level
Great app but I was able to grant permission with "adb -d shell" I was hoping if possible to save logs incase the phone reboots unexpectedly.
Anyone rating this less than 5 stars needs to simply uninstall the application, put your phone in a plastic bag, grab a hammer and smash it because you don't deserve it.
The app is good. But not able to view full log message if the message is too long. Anyway i can view full log mesaage?
App only worked after it crashed, probably because it restarted completely then. Anyway very useful
I can't filter log levels. When i try to do it using filter it doesn't log. Really bad.
Simple and intuitive. Ads are not intrusive.
unexpectedly stopped showing logs just blank space there, uninstalled and reinstalled doesn't fix
App works wonderfully. Android 11 is no longer crashing as of March 8th, 2021.
Attempts to filter by more than one log level type, results in no log content to see at all.
Makes accessing and saving logs easy
The first logcat reader I've found in years that works as it should! Thanks, Darshan.
Nice looking, easy to use, and functional. My new favorite logcat app!
Great app. In latest version I can change the name of saved logs.
Unfortunately the app cannot filter a period by time. This is crucial for me, since I'm debugging crashes, and I don't know what causes them but I do know when they happened. I have to scroll through thousands of logs before I get to the time which was a minute ago.
