The Preview version of the Android Player is only available to current subscribers (or trial). Cost: $25 / month
talking of Xamarin Player
Hello jata, it seems that they’ve revised the ratta and subscription thing. Thank you very much for informing shall check on their site and update the update accordingly. Till then you can try the other emulators mentioned in the article 🙂
I’ve been using Leapdroid emulator. There’s no subscription service and its been the fastest emulator I’ve used so far in comparison to Bluestacks, Nox, Droid4x and Andy. Android Authority also wrote a review on Leapdroid recently as well. http://www.androidauthority.com/leapdroid-review-703665/
Me also… LeapDroid is light weight as far as space and use of rexsources used.. works GREAT!!!!
How comes you state that bluestacks is free? Its free to download but not to use, unless you pay £24 a year.
Hello Guy, In India, they are providing it for free! . Thanks for informing will check and update the article accordingly 🙂
Bluestacks also asking for $2.00 a month here n Australia. Best you get it out of this list until they rectify this!!
Err, you can download featured apps and continue using bluestacks without paying a yearly sub of 24 bucks (lol). Or just install an older version to avoid that silly prompt. Of course not everything will work but I’m fine with what I can run.
i cklicked no and it ckracked
i cant Play any more
I’ve been using bluestacks for more than a year and downloading new apps instead of paying the $2. It does work although has a variety of issues I’ve had to debug.
It is an horrible app don’t pay for it
I need android PC to play pokemon GO, it is worked through nox but not now. Pokemon always ask to update and doest not work for pokemon Go 37. Is it because nox run on android 4.2?
Can you update those programs running on which OS?
Id like to have emulator that running on android 5 or above.
Chaitanya,nothing is free in INDIA.They install one app every time when you open your bluestacks.
Haha Haha
i am also from india bluestacks totally free and no apps to download for using just use BSTweaker2 for disable app purchase banners and subscription in Bluestacks
hey its really free xramain andriodnplayer
If you are so worried about the payment, there are cracked versions available in torrentz
Download BSTweaker2 for bluestacks then root it unlock every things besides it can stop add and disable subscription purchase add etc…
No thanks! All these subscription based emu/simulators happen because someone discovered how to use a compiler and slap a pretty interface around it. Crashes constantly on machines that meet 8x the requirements and depend mostly on other free things, like VirtualBox. You know, for the trouble and cost, I’ll just plug my android device into a monitor and sync up a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Problem solved!
Hello Steve, can you please tell which emulator crashed so that we can remember be it from the list also you can try using droid4x it really is fabulous!
Well, let’s see. First was BlueStacks, then Genymotion. Bluestacks was tried on a Windows8 PC, Genymotion was tried on a Mac running OS 10.10. Both machines have 4 Intel cores, 16 gigs of RAM and high-end graphics with nothing else to do.
BlueStacks was the most lenient. At worst, it would just go black-screen, while Genymotion all but crashed the whole system. I kept getting the impression that it was losing track of the VM session and stuff of that nature. By the way, I hate all of these external dependencies.
What they could run, they ran very well, but the apps which demanded special graphics modes, like Minecraft PE would always cause trouble. Problem is that those were the ones I was most interested in running.
I will definitely give droid4x a try. Thanks for the recommendation!
LEAPDROID works great, no dependencies, low system requirements.. dual core, 4gb ram.. works with Intel graphics even..!!!!!!!!!!!!
can I use it well for downloading showbox on my pc
Hey. I have been trying to play Dragon City via Bluestacks, but after a long time of loading, it still doesn’t start and my machine gets lagged and slowed. Can you help me out?
Hello, can you try using Droid4x as its the best gaming emulator available for pc for playing android games
You are definitely right!!! If only it had tilt controls for it, then the emulator would be perfect!!! I guess I’m going to either install 2 emulators or just live without it.
I swear Bluestacks is the shittiest one for me,my Monster Legends doesnot even load too and when I exit it,my PC is not able to run anything else 🙁
You can try bluestacks 2, bluestacks no longer running. This is from my experience.
Droid4x resets automatically in every 24 hrs… i m tired of installing apps again and again.. plz help me out….
Bluestacks: “VirtualBox isn’t required”
“Windroy doesnt require any external Virtualbox support like bluestacks”
which is the best one please, which required minimum demand?
Bluestacks 2 is still the best, just love it.
fuck
it slows down the pc
dont use it
bluestacks 2 sucks man it slows ur pc
I tried windroy but all I get is a white screen with nothing to do with it… any idea?
same here
Las he probado todas y nunigana funciona dew.
very nice this article helped me a lot with my games and books !
holly maholly, AndyRoid looked like small when i downloaded but in fact i noticed it was only a small application (downloader) which purpose is to download a +-500MB file from their server…. now i know why they put 20GB free HD space in the system requirement section !
AndyRoid is a harmful program, which installs a set of unwanted programs. Now, I am working on deleting all these programs. Thanks…
wow this is really nice collection of android apps ..
thanks for sharing these worderful application with us.
wow this is nice collection of android apps thanks for sharing these
i’m trying to download bluestacks for mp laptop with Windows 8.1 64bit,but as soon as i click download option a notification occurs as “this type of file can harm your computer “…please help,wat to do…
Hello Manjit, if you’re using Chrome simply select the option “keep” after clicking on the arrow mark.
YouWave Android Emulator note mentined……….
after installing bluestacks, i am getting message like in the bluestacks window ” game data downloading”. can any one resolve??
not all free
it’s very cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS THERE ANY EMULATOR THAT CAN RUN ON 1 GB RAM??????????
Bluestacks and Nox does run. Bluestacks has a 1 GB verson..which is pretty basic…so Nox is better I guess.
Can u please tell me which is the one that don’t give game download popup like Bluestacks (game popup home) and don’t require Premium purchase…??
one more question which file manager is best so that i can easily move/copy my folders from file manager to “windows”. and vice versa.
well i updated bluestacks and it stopped working..!!
and i don’t want to loss my data
Hello Satpal, considering your problems faced while using bluestacks and requirements of no pop-ups we’ll recommend you to use droid4x. It’s fast and stable too!! Regarding file manager you can use any good one like x plore or es.
Bluestack y Andyroid has as a first archive to be scanned a Trojan horse. All of you know that? I downloaded both and that was the result when I scan it. They could be the best, but not for me.
Hello Josefina, may be they being an online installer package might be detected as Trojan, but we have used them. Personally I too don’t like bluestacks it’s quite resource heavy but loved droid4x. Thank you for alerting 🙂
What about installing Android as a dedicated OS in PC like windows. http://techposts.org/install-android-5-0-2-lollipop-on-pc-and-laptops-with-windows-linux-and-mac-os/ i came across this post which shows How to install Android 5.0.2 Lolipop on Pc along with windows but it hangs on logo in my laptop. What to do?
BLuestacks always show technical eror.
but din’t mind
duOS-m work corectly.
go fuck up.. bluestacks always shows error 25000. i have 4gb ram & 1 gb vga card
from above 7 apps none is working on my pc
how to create contact for another country friends details in bluestacks
can i use droid4x in my windows 7 ultimate pc??? will it work as good as bluestack???
Yes dipta, you can use droid4x on your pc, it will work even better than bluestacks
Droid4x does not work on my Windows 7 SP1 with AMD A4-3400 APU processor
It’s NOT Droid 4x Its Definately The AMD Rubbish Processor
but, i am not being able to download anythng from play store.. it continuously showing “installing”.. but downloading isnt strtd
please tell me how can i dwnload apps frm droid4x play store!
Hello dipta, it seems some problem with your Internet connection, or can you try using a different Google account after restarting the pc. As we tried from our end and we’re able to download apps through playstore 🙂
Think I’ll be skipping Droid4X, and you should too, unless you like installing software from the same country – Communist China – that routinely hacks and just completely stole the personal data of every current and former U.S. government employee, including personal medical records of military vets and their families so the regime can blackmail, threaten, and otherwise coerce Americans. Shame on Techapple for even including Droid4X on its list and for recklessly suggesting users run out and download it without telling them of the obvious dangers and liabilities.
Well, the US of A are also not the flagship democrats as they arrange themselfes.
bluestack … downloading game data what i can do
bluestacks initializing screen,
how to get rid of it..?????
Windroy didn’t start up and fx stopped at80% on my core 2duos e7500 any answers
yes bluestack is still charging $2 USD a month (in aus at least) so you can run free apps like instagram. I also got a whole bunch of maleware bundled with bluestack when I downloaded it (from a third party site that pretended to review bluestack and provide a handy link.
fastest emulator is nox it doesnt affect your pc
note – my anti virus program has been working overtime trying to remove bluestack and all its malware. Note you will also probably get something called ‘bluetacks notification centre’ downloaded that when you try and delete it, all you get is a message asking if you want to update the bluestack application (which I have already deleted). If this has nothing to do with their application, I imagine that with the millions they are racking in from charging $24 US a year to run free android apps – that they may wont to look into the damage that is being done under their name.
genymotion dont works on newest windows 10 build !
please udpate info here !
hi frnds how can i download the latest graphics card driver for droid4x
is there any emulator that does not require 2 GB ram
Good to know there are other emulators than BlueStacks. It is my favorite Android emulator so far.
can we use wifi from it
Yes shamaraj, you can use wifi from it too 🙂
But I cant
Any emulator for 1 gb ram pc
Stopped working after I upgraded to Win 10
Holy shit. You guys desperately need an editor.
suggest me for windows 10 to using android
bluestacks is best for me as it does not lag and works smoothly and faster
how i get a best andorid app player for pc????????
It seems most are here because they want to play games made for android. Can someone please tell me which really and truly free-gratis-no dollars emulator would be best so I can use the communication programs what’sapp, Viber and Line? I’ve been holding out against owning a mobile phone for so long, but I’m near breaking point. Thanks for your help
Hello MGB you can have all the above mentioned without an emulator 🙂 use whatsapple client for whatsapp and viber and line have their official desktop clients 🙂
Hi CHAITANYA,
Thanks for your reply but I think you did not read my question closely: I do not have a mobile phone and do not want to get one, but would like to be able to use (on my windos7 pc) the communication apps that are based on mobile phone OS such as Android witout having to install all those complicated and seemingly trouble-ridden emulator programs. But I have a feeling it isn’t going to be possible because the info I read about the WebClient you recommended requires you to have a mobile phone!
correction above: “requires you” ===> “requires ME to have a mobile…”
“Sorry, Droid4X can’t support the AMD A4-3400 APU with Radeon ™ HD Graphics CPU temporarily”. This is the message I got when attempting installation on my Windows 7 desktop. Bluestacks works, but it demands $2 per month else I download useless apps which may have demands of their own.
many thanks
i try bluestacks and andy os . but no one installed
hey, thanks for share this info 🙂 i really appreciate it
hey droid 4x is useless minecraft does notttt workkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BlueStacks should not be considered #1. BluesSacks gave me lots of trouble, always freezing up and always taking 10-15 minutes to load and more. I defiantly know that it was not my computer because it was a brand new macbook BlueStacks stinks I advise no one to download it.
Is there by any means I can emulate a SIM card in an android emulator?
Hi Kaustav yes you can it depends upon what’s the purpose behind emulating sim card, for making receiving calls and sms or for passing parameters
Thanks for the fast reply! Passing parameters it is.
For example, ICICI Pockets app is checking for the mobile number present in the SIM card. I can’t get past it. I tried “SIM Editor” app with Xposed Installer in Bluestacks & Andy. But, there seems to be problem loading the modules as it requires rebooting the device to load & it’s not possible with both Bluestacks & Andy.
Hi Kaustav, if xposed isn’t working properly there seems one option using Genymotion to try the verification else using donkey guard for the same 🙂
Thanks! I’m working on them.
Ok Kaustav dp comment the result whether it worked or not..
Yes, there seems to be an option in Genymotion Business edition. I think that should work. But, I can’t afford that at this moment. And Donkey Guard is not working since Xposed Installer is not working.
However, I found a way to authenticate my number for ICICI Pockets using a simple hack. When ICICI Pockets fails to read the number from Android system, it tries to authenticate by sending an encrypted SMS. So, it actually generates a message & triggers the messaging app with write message option with the encrypted message written (stupid authentication system by ICICI really). Then I actually typed that message in my feature phone & send it to the shown number & bingo! It works! Well done ICICI bank!
And lastly, thank you very much for bringing my notice to Genymotion. Really appreciate it! Thanks!
Hi Kaustav, you’re welcome. very happy that you solved the problem out bingo! That was very lame from icici, but nonetheless it helped the app to get working on the emulator. Well done and congratulations! 🙂
Thanks! I was actually fooling eBay. eBay has suspended my account. So, to sell again I needed a new bank account for paying seller fees along with new IPs as my previous cards & A/Cs are blacklisted by eBay. So, this is a good way to start selling again without opening an account. Hope this will help somebody facing the same issues.
Yes that’s some real logical thinking from you Kaustav, a great workaround!! Thank you it will help me too for selling on eBay 🙂 thanks again!
It seems like Genymotion does not yet support cell no. changing. This is what I got in reply from them:
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in Genymotion!
For now, it is not possible to change the default phone No. stored in system. But we plan to provide this feature in the future!
You’ll be notified as soon as Genymotion has this ability.
Best regards,
Damien
Genymotion Support Team
Oh It doesn’t has it by default..:( i was wondering using xposed installer on the same..as it emulated a complete phone hence I thought manually rebooting the phone by using the inbuilt power key..
HHmm, The #1 FREE Android Emulator for PC isn’t actually FREE. Interesting.
Windroy is useless, I Installed the program and then was unable to install any apps. Just constantly received the message ‘this browser is no longer supported’. Uninstalled 5 minutes later.
thumbs up for droid4x its supercool
i am confused in all the app players but i will never take bluestacks because it is the worst android emulater i have ever used
Hi Sanket, would recommend you to go for droid4x
with GenyMotion i can play all game in my laptop. SO cool . I dont worry about battery ^^
all of these are crap! i cant add my google account and cant access the play store! what the hell is the point of an android emulator if you cant use the fucking apps! waste of money spent on the internet to download these pieces of shit
Hello Keiko you can download play store apk and install it in droid4x emulator to use Google play
i got bluestacks. working fine. i also got the droid4x. worked magnificently.. until i tried and installed Andy. it ‘broke’ my Droid4x. now i’m trying to fix my Droid. if all else fails, i’ll just re install Droid4x from this site. i’m just sharing that installing droid4x and Andy isn’t the best decision and i recommend you guys avoid it if you are happy with droid4x. will try Windroy later.. thanks 🙂
PS. thanks for this wonderful article(?) because i’ve been searching for android emulators for few weeks now and none were good. then i found this. tried droid and poof. its wonderful 🙂 easy to install, easy to use. very nice.
i got bluestack but it hang my system some time. Droid 4x is a useful app player for me.
this application is already download on my computer and working.th
I’m looking for an emulator that will pass live data from a usb connected device (engine management unit) into the app running in the emulator. DuOS cannot do this, and so far Bluestacks doesn’t seem capable of passing through usb data. Perhaps this just isn’t practicable?
Ji Martin, we have read that Genymotion does support USB, but we haven’t tested ourselves as it required a pro version for the said feature.
i tried to use my webcam on blue stacks, no luck, can anyone inform me if any are good with webcam
i my think camara app wll help u
hie sanket i reccoment windroy its fast ,free and full screen display i use it here in Zimbabwe
Hello. It’s impossible to go at Android with Bluestacks: he has a BIIIIIIIIG lag with Win10
Andy OS is horrible. I installed it and my PC was crashing and lagging left and right not to mention when I got the emu open it would not run and just get stuck at the loading screen.
Also Bluestack is a horrible app simulator. Loads of bugs, the apps closes by itself many times.
Hello Chung2music, we are very sorry for the issues faced by you :(, did droid4x worked for you?.. Well now bluestacks as you rightly said isn’t of much use anymore.. But on some non graphic card pcs Andy does work good.
bluestacks is the bestest best
Bluestacks sucks. And so does YouWave,Andyroid,And Jelly Bean.
andi is the worstest app player
HELLO! I AM FROM INDIA. I INSTALLED BLUESTACK APP PLAYER IN AUGUST 2015. AFTER ONE MOUNTH I PAID $25 FOR STILL USING BLUESTACKS BUT AFTER EVERY 1 OR 2 WEEK IT SHOWS ME THE PAID NOTIFICATION. I BUY BLUESTACK FOR YEAR HOW THIS WAS HAPPENED. THEN I INFORM BLUESTACKS OPERATOR ABOUT THIS THEY DONT GIVE ANY REPLAY ON THAT. PLEASE WHAT TO DO NEXT?? NICE INFORMATION AND SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
Hello Dhanraj, well we would advise you to shift to free alternatives mentioned in the article. No need of paying for any of those emulators.
it wont open some of my files
I just downloaded Bluestacks on my PC, it works as expected. Thanks Chaitanya!
Droid4x is downloaded well but it consumes lots of time to install it please update it and make it faster
where is number 7 ?????
I have tried most of the android emulators shown, as I have a new Windows 10 Pro computer 32 GB Ram, 1.5TB disk, AMD 6-core processor and I still can’t get Jurassic World (Updated version) to run on it. I also have a win7 laptop with bluestacks and that works fine with the updated version of Jurassic World. My android tablet just baulked at the update and now refuses to load the game as it’s now too big. Bit concerned when win7 is no longer supported though. Has anyone got any ideas as I’m out of them.
Hi Vcuts, well you can play thr game on win7 if it’s working fine.. And to run the game on Windows 10, I would l recommend you to first upgrade the graphics drivers and then install droid4x emulator. Then we could proceed to installing jurassic Park on the droid4x emulator.
Hi.. I am from India. I installed bluestacks in my laptop and have never used it much. Today I just opened it and got a notification to pay $2 or install 3 apps. Obviously I neither want to pay nor install some stupid apps.
Upon searching for Android Emulators, I stumbled upon this page. Nice info all over. I think I only have Droid4X as an option. My only requirement for an emulator is for WhatsApp. Maybe I will try 3rd party twitter apps later.
Kindly tell me if any other emulator other than Droid4X is better for my above mentioned requirement.
Many thanks for the article and also to all those who’ve shared their emulator experiences.
Hi Ranjith, if you simply need it for what’s app you can even use Andy emulator.
can u send me simple code for login page in Android
bluestacks was working gud in windows 7 but in windows 8 it is waste
and i want whatsapp only
Nox App Player has surpassed all the above. It’s a free full-feature android emulator which could run multiple android instances on Windows PC. It’s also very light and fast. BTW, it emulates Android 4.4.2 kitkat. I think the editors should do a feature review of it. Their website here: http://en.bignox.com/
Do not get Bluestacks 2. I was using Bluestack 2 (V 46.0) on Windows 8.1. I was disappointed that i could only play my favorites apps a couple of times before i either had to pay $2 (USA) or try the rest of the apps out there.
Andy runs super slow on my Windows 8.1 Comp. I am looking into Droid4X [V 0.8.7 Beta]
[Oh and do not replies, chances of me coming back are none]
Hi Really Sorry, for the problem faced while using Bluestacks but it still sort of has a freemium model so we didn’t remove it.. Will try to get a better alternative for you 🙂 , Sincere apologies 🙁
I love Ami-duos its really faaast, full support , perfect for gaming , customizable.

Any input…?
my advise to u is don’t use bluestacks it crashes your computer and it don’t work good
Which one will run on ubuntu
I’ve used Bluestacks on two PCs for over a year with no problems. In the U.S. it’s free if you agree to some app downloads. This past January, I took advantage of a discount offer and paid for the subscription. It’s worth $10 a year at most. If I had to pay more, I would choose another emulator.
How can I use the droid4X I don’t knw how to use plzz help me
Anybody can tell me in which emulator i can use Xender
Bluestacks is not so good but Droid4X is the best of all emulators I’ve ever used !

2Gb,64bit operating system,processor 2,HD 450,monitor resolution 1366×768,display adapter AMD Radeon HD6370m,any comments are welcome Thanks 😀
Hi, Have you tried MEmu. I am using it and it is the best android emulator.
I tried all of these emulators but in my opinion MEmu is the best.
I palyed “Gangstar Vegas” on all of these emulators and no one is giving perfect graphics except “MEmu” It is lightweight and giving me perfect gaming experience.
hey MEmu is good

Hi Jyotirmoy, will recommend you to go for droid 4x or bluestacks.

Great blog. I am using it first time. I really like it. Now I can control every thing from my PC. Thanks
This bluestacks is a stupid app player just showing the welcome page. I have installed it my dad but it is not working a stupid app player please do not download it. I had wasted my data by download in this app player. It’s about 300 MB and it is of no use.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ very swift emulator $$$$$$$$$
hi isha . can u give your suggestion on which emulator runs the fastest speed and doesnt lag ?
bluestacks is not good it has many problemes for graphics ,games dont donwload
Agreed. Bluestacks not only took forever to download, it also constipated my laptop, things started freezing up before I got the chance to use Bluestacks. Eventually, after restarting the machine twice, I was finally able to uninstall it.
Tried all named above. Basicly none of them worked or had older android version.
I would really recommend MeMu android emulator. Runs on android 5.1(lollipop)
Doesn’t eat RAM, is fast and does not crash randomly.
Have a try 😉
i have win 10 2gb ram or 2gbgrapihics any emu work on my pc
i like it i am so thank to you.
i want free emulator except bluestacks
Our shitty product needs to reboot for some reasons.
or you can use remix os for running android apps on pc. you can easily dual boot it with ubuntu without making any partitions. check out this tutorial –
https://medium.com/@deepakpk/how-to-dual-boot-remixos-with-ubuntu-c7ee2d973f72#.a53nclvey
My PC only can run Bluestack …
some other emulator cause stuck at loading. Low End VGA Card
You can download any game android from : DOWNLOAD GAME ANDROID APK
Runs on android 5.1(lollipop)
Doesn’t eat RAM, is fast and does not crash randomly.
Please tell me how I install android apps in my Lumia 540 window 10
Hi, I’ve been using Bluestacks for a while and it works pretty well on my PC. If you are having problems with it, there I another free option, KoPlayer. I found this direct link http://www.bluestacksdownloadshq.com/koplayer-download.html
I will download and try other options like Leapdroid that I think is new. I’ll give it a try and compare, I’ll let you know about it.
Nox is the best app ever :), easy to use!

“Windroy doesnt require any external Virtualbox support like bluestacks, also its quite light-weight and handy to use!.”
Do you mean “Windroy doesnt require any external Virtualbox support. Like bluestacks, also its quite light-weight and handy to use!”

Yes, I meant “Windroy doesn’t require any external Virtualbox support. Like bluestacks, also its quite light-weight and handy to use!” thanks for pointing it out, I have edited it inside the article 🙂

Used a rooted version of BlueStacks and it was ok. A bit slow. Used Genny and it was ok. I could copy and paste with that. That was very cool. It did crash. MEmu is good so far.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Really Amazing Article!!!
Till Now I was using Bluestacks, but it really sucks and it’s very laggy. I have read this Article & I am glad to say that now I am using the Best Android Emulator without any lag…
i want bluestacks for windows xp service pack 2 plz help
tell me which one to download for my 2gb ram system
Xeplayer android emulator may be worked for you.
I very much appreciate that TechApple allowed a comments section to this article page: because of this, I was able to read how dodgy, sketchy, and otherwise ‘unwise’ it would be to use an Android Emulator just before actually installing one, considering that I already have a bevvy of Android devices and are just tired of dealing with their dodgy wi-fi connectivity issues compared to my laptops. Figuring what I will do now is just favour the actual Android devices, and if they lose connection (they always do) then I won’t break my head over it (my goal was really just to participate in Google Opinion Rewards and to check my voicemail in a free-phone app anyway). For those of you who are putting your $500+ computers in jeopardy installing this crap, used Android phones on Kijiji start at around $40…wouldn’t you think that would make more sense? From the sound of the majority of these emulators, they are either subscription-based or are otherwise bundled with malware…I don’t need that headache in my life thank you. But thanks for the article TechApple : )
yup
Was about to install NoxApp Player then noticed it had agreed me to the T&Cs without offering to let me read them (naughty!). Here’s what they say: http://prntscr.com/g600ly
Basically: we can do what we want with your data, if you don’t like, don’t use it and in fact we might not LET you use it. NO THANKS.
I’ve used BlueStacks before so will go with the new version of that. Thanks for the round-up though.
Furthermore (sorry can’t edit previous post). Bluestacks now has a similar license saying we will send you spam etc. (and any friends’ data we find) but is at least honest about it and has a link to it and doesn’t scroll the box too fast to read like NoxApp Player.
I know this software is free in dollar cost but make sure you’re aware of what you’re actually paying in privacy and possible hassles before installing.
I need a emulator for simulate a Samsung Tab,Anyone know some or how to configure to simulate this Tablet, please tell me
Tried a few emulators and so far all have trouble handling Candy Valley. Bluestacks just wouldnt allow me to open the game, Leapdroid worked beautifully for the first 1500 screens and now wont allow the game to run and KOPlayer will not allow the watching of adverts as when the button is clicked then the game crashes.
Still looking for one that works correctly.
Nox tries to start the game but hangs
Very informative article. Easy to read

7 Best Android Emulators For Windows You Can Use
http://www.otfeed.com/2017/10/best-android-emulators-windows.html
Hi there.
It’s nice to see Droid4X included on a list of best Android emulators for PC. I think it’s pretty underrated for it’s ease of use and performance. Another emulator that continues to improve is MEmu. I use this occasionally along with Nox App Player. A while ago I tested 8 Android emulators in benchmark scores, and the results were pretty interesting. Nox and Bluestacks generally did the best, but Remix OS achieved a high score in CPU multitasking.
