Developers will receive crash and freeze reports from direct from their users, which they'll be able to see when they log into their Android Market publisher account.
Jacek Surazski, a Google employee from Krakow office, says that when an app freezes or stops responding, the user can send a bug report to the developer with a click of a button, from their phone.
Quick fix
The new button appears in the application error dialog, and so if the user chooses to click it, the Google Feedback client running on the device will analyse the offending app and compose a report with information needed to diagnose it.
The information sent can be previewed by the user and is anonymised.

Google Feedback aggregates these bugs, by severity and are measured in terms of the rate at which reports are flowing in.
Clicking on a bug will display information such as stack traces, statistics about which type of hardware the bug occurred on and what versions of the app the user was running. In case of freezes, stack traces for all threads in the app will be displayed, providing a good idea how well apps are faring in the wild.
