LOG

I understood everything he did in the video, but I still can't understand why is log useful anywhere. Can someone give me an example for a problem that the log will help to find the problem ?

Just wait for some bugs, you'll know (I don't know yet if it's a good practice to use log for debugging, but I did, and it helped a lot, I probably need to pay more attention to other debugging tools) Also when you test your app not everything is displayed at the screen, e.g. responses from a server, or if something was saved in a database.
