Application description
At the moment the current version is BlueStacks 5, but if it works badly or crashes – just download BlueStacks 4, it is stable and time-tested.
BlueStacks 4 is a high-quality Android OS emulator for Windows computers and laptops.
One device – two systems
The program allows you to run any Android applications on your PC, and the games are implemented using the usual keyboard + mouse (a nice bonus – support gamepads).
BlueStacks supports synchronization with your Google Play account, which will allow you to install and update applications directly from the official store, as well as in parallel on your Android device.
If you have difficulties with the installation from the market – you can always install directly from the .apk file (it must first be downloaded from third-party resources).
Simple and convenient
The application interface and functions control do not cause any questions or difficulties, and the emulator works very fast and stable, so that even with “sophisticated” games it can cope (of course, if your PC has sufficient power).
Visually, the interface of BlueStacks 4 resembles the most common browser with tabs, which gives convenient access to all running applications, as well as quick switching between them.
