Cool concept - play android games on my pc. Fun to see them on a larger screen. Unfortunately, it bogs down, crashes and resets games - losing whatever progress has been made. Tried many (many, many) times to contact customer support. No acknowledgement, whatsoever. Spent money on some of these - made it to levels in the 800s - even purchased a subscription (promised amazing customer support), but still a gigantic void where Support is supposed to be. Don't fall for it unless you enjoy starting over.

Literally horrible!
December 15, 2020

Literally horrible! It's like, fails to even connect to Google much less sign into your account, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Fails to connect to the play store correctly, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Fails to download a game you want from the play store, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Fails to install a game correctly, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Fails to start an installed game correctly, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Bluestacks fails to even open and start correctly AT ALL, spend 20 minutes or longer googling and fixing that problem. Really really sucks super super bad, completely crappy and awful!

I would take away 5 stars if I could, this emulator beyond sucks! I tried it and had nothing but problems and I tried for several months to grt a hold of someone for help with the issues I was having but no one would contact me, and I trird through the emulator and and a few different email addresses. So I swiched to one that works. I can't beleve that anyone would think it's good! I even tried unloading it and reloading maybe would work right for a week, but who wants to do that every week? Probably would'nt work for long anyway!

This review is going to be a positive review of Bluestacks

Have you ever been playing a game on your android phone or tablet and thought to yourself, I would really like to be able to play this game on my desktop PC., or Laptop as long as it is running windows. I believe there is a Linux version but I am not sure about that, nor am I sure about how well a Linux version would run

Well, wish no longer because there is an android emulator for windows that runs seamlessly and without errors. It is called Bluestacks. I have been using it now for well over a month without errors or problems. I play an Android app called PBA Challenge on my android tablet, but there is no version of the app that runs on windows. I wrote to Concrete Software and asked them if they planned on developing a PC version and they said NO. They only develop mobile apps,

Now, I can play my PBA Challenge game on my PC inside of Blue Stacks. The software loads without issue. It is one executable which loads the whole thing. Once it is loaded what you have is an Android phone on your pc Screen. You can load any android app you please and it runs just fine. In fact, other devices see the Bluestacks device as just another android device. Even Microsoft. Ha ha.

How do they accomplish this you ask. Well, I am not exactly sure, but I believe what they do is load up a VM that runs Android.

They are still in Beta mode so, there is no charge for anything right now. But, if they go gold I am sure there will be a charge for the application. And it will be well worth the money.

Let be prack this emulator are just good when you have a gaming pc or a laptop like 8gb ram, 16gb ram latest graphic cart etc etc. But this emulator is a headache for those who have a minimal pc and laptop that runs on 4gb ram and 6gb i tried to play cabalmobile to personal laptop, in android or ios you can play this game it minimum 3gb ram and 8gb free storage. Evn my laptop runs 6gb everytime i runs cabalm it seem my laptop have a virus so laggy and fcking slow all you need to do i shut down manually it damage and just slowdown your system.

Much better to play heavy games like that on actual tablet and phone and dont emulate it on pc. Well i have a gaming pc and its seem BlueStacks are down have problem with that but my point is useless to emulating game on pc much better to invest it on actual platform
