Hika,
There are a few options to getting access to the LogCat on Android:

1. Install a LogCat app on the tablet
Something such as the following link, but this is only one example. There
are others out there.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat

2. Install the Android Debug Bridge (adb).  If you use ubuntu, i believe it
is in the repo (other distros may have it as well).  Otherwise, you can
download the tools from developer.android.com.  You might need to setup a
udev rule for the Android Tablet.  There are instructions on there as well
for that on linux.  Then, hook the tablet up to a usb cable and on the
computer in a terminal run adb logcat.  Check out the help for it as well
as it will give you some other options to filter out messages not relevant
to this app.

3. Install Android Studio.  All the adb tools are built in and can be
hooked up to the command line as well.  This lets you clone the github
repo, run the app from the most current source. LogCat is is built in as
well, with a great deal of filtering available.

For managing the recordings, the reason they are broke on the old version
of the is because the services api change a bit between .27 and .28.  There
are a lot of configurable options as well, but I have not found how to
populate things like selection lists, etc. from the data available.  It
might be something we can look at in the future, but for right now, I feel
most people are interested in playback.

Dan
