+What is getting logged? 
+Generally this app logs how and when you interact with the app and sometimes, which values you enter. 
+No logs are being sent to anybody automatically, you can choose to attach the log file to the bug report.
+This helps the devs a lot, as they can better understand the state of the app as it crashed. The logs are 
+all found in this folder here.
