-  - Try to **repeat the error action** at least once more.
+===== Please do the following: =====
-  - **Describe precisely the steps that lead to the crash** and write them down step by step. Please describe the procedure in detail so that we can repeat the steps you have taken - **simulate your problem**.
-  - if you are using Locus version 4.3 and higher, **copy your user ID** (menu > about app/helpdesk > about app):\\ {{ :manual:faq:crash01.jpg?nolink |}} If you're using an older version, try to create an **error message/log** – see **[[manual:faq:how_to_create_debug_log|Creating Logs >>]]**
-  - contact us at [[mailto:locus.map@asamm.com|locus.map@asamm.com]] and **send all to us** - thorough description of the problem, user ID (error log), all files or maps involved in the issue
-====== A part of Locus apparently does not work ======
+  - **repeat the action leading to the error** at least once more.
+  - long-press Locus Map's main menu button to open a hidden tool menu > tap **Report bug** (or "Upload to support" in some app versions):\\ {{ :manual:faq:crash03.jpg?nolink |}}
-One of Locus's features does not work properly or does not work at all.
+  - a set of logs and a memory dump are generated:\\ {{ :manual:faq:crash04.jpg?nolink |}}
+  - add a description of actions leading to the error and tap **SEND**.

+  - patiently await the support response - this usually doesn't take longer than 24 hours (except weekends)
+===== What if the app can't even start? =====
+Sometimes, none of the methods mentioned above help identify the problem (e.g., when the app cannot be started at all), and you are asked by the helpdesk to create a **system bug report**.
+  - please reproduce all actions leading to the app crash again
