Why do mobile app crash?

Depends on the device, and how much logging the app has. On Android, you can 'adb logcat' and sometimes get info. Not sure if the other platforms have any good methods or not.

Mobile apps crash for similar reasons that desktop apps crash. Overwriting memory, dangling pointers, overflows blah blah blah>

You can integrate frameworks like TestFlight, Hockey App or PLCrashReporter that will give you an itemised list of all crashes experienced by your users along with a symbolicated crash log call stack to help you debug your app.

You launch it remotely using the android sdk usually while your phone is plugged into usb, then launch your app.

There are also ways to launch it from settings menu.

My android knowledge is limited though so this is where my own advice must end, sorry...

You first need to install the Android SDK. You might also need to install Java Development Kit (JDK).

Enable USB Debugging on your device. Where it is in the Settings depends on your phone's manufacturer. Look it up.

Plugin your Android device through USB. If you use Mac/Linux, it should be able to detect it. If you use Windows, you might need to install a driver first, again, depends on your phone manufacturer.

Then run the Android Monitor tool. It will give you the activities that's currently running on your phone.

If there's a crash, it will usually say so and why. However, this is usually for the developer of the app that's crashing. As a user, this information is not that useful because you don't have access to the source code.
