Android and iOS are the two most popular and widely used mobile operating systems in the world. Apple's iOS only runs on a select number of devices which may include Apple's iPod, iPad or iPhone(s). On the other hand Google's Android runs on 24,000 different kind of devices. Android currently runs on almost 1.5 billion devices all around the world. Users love to have an Android device around them. Be it a smartphone, a navigation panel of a car, a washing machine or any such gadget, you will find Android on it making it cool. Android's Google Play Store has got over 2.5 Million applications which include hundreds of thousands of games, productivity applications, tools and utilities. On the other hand, Apple's iOS store has also got near 2Million applications in its store. Now there are applications and games which are exclusively available for iOS and Android platform and are not available for Windows or Mac OS X. One would want to play an Android / iOS game or use an Android / iOS application on a Windows powered computer or a Mac OS X device but the platform issues might make an application incompatible.
To entertain the Android/iOS users with the mobile games and applications on desktop PCs and laptops, emulators were built. Since Android is an open source operating system, it was easy for the developers to emulate Android while iOS doesn't allow any such thing. If you can emulate Android on a PC, that means you can also run iOS apps and games because an application that is available for iOS is likely available for Android as well and you're going to get it easily in the Google Play Store.
Out of so many Android emulators, the only best, working and efficient Android emulator is BlueStacks. BlueStacks is a free Android emulator available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 desktop PCs / Laptops and also Mac OS X iMacs and Macbooks. BlueStacks works with all Android applications and games. BlueStacks also allows you to set your custom controls for particular games. It is now easier to experience your desired Android apps and games on a computer now.
BlueStack's experience is just like an Android device. Once you've installed BlueStacks, you can control it and use it just as you would use an Android tablet. You can customise and personalize BlueStacks using BlueStacks settings. BlueStacks allows the users to access Google Play Store using which they can bring all their favorite apps into their PC. If only taking your Android experience to your PC is not enough of a reason for you to give a try to an Android emulator or play Apps for PC, you might want to have a look on a number of reasons that we have compiled to convince you to install and run Apps for PC. These are:
