ACRA is an open-source Android library for crash reporting that catches uncaught exceptions, collects detailed device and application context, and sends reports to a backend of the developer's choice. It offers configurable user interaction (silent, toast, notification, dialog), multiple senders (HTTP, email, custom), and works even outside Google Play distribution.

Use cases

• collect crash reports from my android app
• self-hosted crash reporting for android
• get detailed error reports from users' devices
• send caught exception reports without crashing
• crash reporting for apps not on google play
• notify users when the app crashes with a dialog or toast
• queue crash reports offline and send later

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source crash reporter you can pair with your own backend
• your app is distributed outside Google Play (enterprise, beta, sideloaded)
• you need flexible report senders (HTTP, email) and customizable user interaction
• you need offline report queuing and detailed device data beyond Play Console

When to avoid

• you prefer a fully managed commercial service with dashboards out of the box (e.g. Firebase Crashlytics)
• you need crash reporting for non-Android platforms
• you don't want to set up or choose a report receiver backend yourself
