Android Emulator is a software application that enables you to run Android apps and games on a PC by emulating Android OS. The free one includes some ads and the occasional sponsored app, but these are pretty discreet.īlueStacks is primarily about games and the interface is essentially a front end for downloading and installing them, but it's also possible to visit the Google Play Store and search for other apps and if you want to add apps and games from other sources, you have the option of using standalone APK files. Google Play Games is an Android app and cannot be installed on Windows PC or MAC directly.

The emulator runs on the new Mac Mini, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air with Apples M1. There are free and paid-for versions available. Google has introduced an Android emulator for Apples new ARM-based Macs. BlueStacks has been designed with ease of use in mind, and looks and feels just like Android on a tablet or smartphone. If you have the emulator, you can easily install Android applications or games on a Mac. BlueStacks App Player is perhaps the best-known Android emulator, and it's hardly surprising given its quality and reliability. The latest version of the Nox App Player is also open for Mac devices and works perfectly on Mac, PC or laptop.
