The emulator automatically installs sponsored Android apps together with yours
BlueStacks runs Android OS and apps on Windows PCs with instant switch between Android and Windows - no reboot is required. End consumers can now enjoy their favorite Android apps on Windows PCs. Android apps can appear either as icons on the Windows desktop, or within a full-blown Android environment.
BlueStacks helps PC manufacturers to ride the Android momentum by enabling Android apps on x86-based tablets, netbooks, notebooks, convertibles and AiO Windows PCs. With the new hybrid convertible form factors, BlueStacks completely eliminates the need to carry two devices. The end consumer benefits from getting both Android and Windows at the price of a single PC.
BlueStacks integrates seamlessly with Citrix and Microsoft software delivery infrastructure and with Citrix’s Enterprise App Store. With BlueStacks, enterprise IT can deliver Android apps securely and effortlessly to any end point running Windows.
The seamless user experience, simultaneous use of Android and Windows apps, and multi-touch enablement are built on ground breaking virtualization technology which requires zero configuration and is transparent to the end consumer.

The worst thing you can do for yourself is to install this crap. Lagging pretty badly, freezes out of nowhere, takes centuries to load simple action like, opening an app you want to use, not to mention draining your RAM and CPU. I am here to find alternative for this junk

Bluestacks is probably the worst (working) android emulator I've ever seen. It takes chunks of resources to run, when it actually works, and it will bluescreen your pc for no reason, at random points. The blue screen doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to cause serious issues. As far as I'm concerned, if a program bluescreens your pc even once, it should be removed and given the worst possible rating, because that's not only unacceptable, but it's also dangerous to your pc, which may end up losing data, or worse, as a result. It's this user's opinion that bluestacks be removed from the list, for the sole purpose that it is quite possibly the least stable program in the lists that I've seen it in. If the developer wants to reprogram it, improve it, and fix the performance issues (which are really bad), then they should do so, otherwise, it should be forgotten and disposed of, for everyone's sake.

Totally agreed. It's June 2017 and this garbage is still the same. Improvements from developers - none, zero, nada. I installed it, and when I tried to use it, I wasn't able cuz of unimaginable lagging, freezing and simply not working. In their help section, they said to solve lagging user should enable virtualization in the BIOS, and I had it enabled. Still nothing. Uninstalled and removed from my pc 4ever. Guys, simply forget about this junk, go for any other alternative, cuz even the worst alternative to bluestacks is way more better

This one requires you to install an app to use it... I assume they get ad revenue from it and don't have an issue with the concept. Bandwidth, hosting, development aren't free and if I am not giving them cash, I am ok with installing the occasional app to support them. Unfortunately it only worked for a while, then it asked me to install another app. After installing that one and the next 4 prompts I still wasn't back to being able to use BlueStacks. I'm OK with requests that will provide them with income, but I'm not ok with spending an hour installing things I have no interest in and still not having access to the program.

this emulator has Good compability and performance, it can run most apps, and on 60 fps too BUT Contain Silent Bloatware which install apps to keep using it on free plan
This emulator is good if there is no silent bloatware
