- Bundleware The emulator automatically installs sponsored Android apps together with yours
- It is actually faster than bluestacks on my mac. The phone controls e.g. change in volume etc. were very easy to use Guest • Jun 2019
- Nox works on Mac OS X, while BlueStacks' mac edition is outdated, bugged and forsaken. Guest • Nov 2017 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees
- It's easy to use and very fast. I tried many emulators and nox is the best for now. clac • Sep 2017 • 4 agrees and 3 disagrees
- It's more stable and faster than Bluestacks. Like the macro recording and skin-changing feature. Xiaomei • Sep 2017 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Installed Nox to play a GPU demanding game, Endless Frontier, and it rocks! Guest • Oct 2017 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees
- It's light and free, not filled with bloatware, doesn't force you installation of apps to keep using it for free and doesn't feel like adware. Great software, I use it for Google Play Music on my PC. brunofin • Mar 2017 • 3 agrees and 4 disagrees
- It's free, faster, has less lag, a bunch of advanced feature Bluestacks doesn't have (macro, device recorder, roots enabling,...) and you don't have to download troublesome apps like Bluestacks. Might be complicated at first but I totally recommend it Guest • Apr 2017 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees
- It's lighter than BlueStacks and provides the same quality graphics for games. Guest • Dec 2016 • 8 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Is much better. Very fast, and it's free Guest • Feb 2017

- very easy to use, and fast running apps and games like clash royale hande • Jan 2018 • 1 agrees and 2 disagrees
- To keep my review short, it includes root functionality, no bloatware, free, fast to start, and also the lightest of all the ones that run on Windows. Even more, you can change the "device model" and processor virtualization literally increases the performance a lot. frenchiveruti • Feb 2017 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees

- Once one gets past the Chinese characters it easily does what is says. It uses less space than Blue Stacks. When you turn it off it goes off. Blue stacks leaves many processes running on the home computer... Guest • Aug 2015 • 0 agrees and 2 disagrees
