PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION.

Read Android logs without root access. The app uses remote debugging to connect to phone local ADB daemon. Configuring remote debugging on a phone can be challenging and requires some technical expertise. It has to be done once and after each device reboot.

Enable USB debugging first on your device. Navigate to Settings > About Phone and tap Build number seven times. Go back, access the Developer options menu and check USB debugging option.

Next step is to enable remote debugging. You need to have Android SDK installed on your computer. Connect your phone via USB cable and run following adb command:

adb tcpip 5555

Disconnect USB cable before trying to use the app. Some phones have problems handling network ADB connection when they are connected via USB as well.

Sometimes establishing connection to ADB hangs and requires killing and restarting the app. It seems to be a problem with ADB daemon itself and not the app issue.

    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.

    Doesn't work if the phone doesn't have a working USB port (because you need to run adb logcat tcpip 5555), and the dead USB port was why I couldn't root my phone in the first place.

    I know (i hope) it is a good app. But i cant use the app. It says "CONNECTING..." at the top toolbar and nothing happens. I hope you fix it.

    Thanks so much for your work, Anton. Just what I needed. Your App is underrated just because amount of intelligence in universe seems to remain constant while population is growing ;)

    This app works perfectly on non-rooted phone because its reading the logs via TCP connection to the ADB server. I just wish I had a searching by date and time.

    The app description in the Play Store needs info on what _is_ needed for it to work. In order to avoid User's confusion. As I got, it doesn't work as is...

    Works fine. Don't forget to run the APK command trough USB!

    This app helped me see why my app was crashing unknowingly one day after install, in just a couple of minutes.
