In any application, logs are very important for pinpointing any issue. Android uses logcat for generating log of any app event. Developers use it to debug their code or check app behavior. That’s why it would be beneficial for mobile tester to provide crash log to developer in Android app testing. Log Collector is an app which serves this purpose.

Its error log can come in handy to mobile tester in many ways such as in documentation, debugging, issue reporting etc. Log Collector Android app-as its name suggests, collects the app’s crash log and allows user to send it via various sharing option.
