This is for all those android lovers. And of course, I also belong to the same category. Eversince I got my android device, I have been busy playing with the same and have been exploring apps, games and other utilities from the android market place. There are currently approximately 300,000 apps available for Android, from a total of 500,000 apps over the life of Android. I believe it is never easy to find right app for your android device. I too have been facing the same problem and therefore I have been consulting my friends to help me with the same. I also have been busy scanning websites for the same especially with the keywords like top android apps, best android apps and on the basis of the same, I have been able to find some great apps for my android device. Still, there’s one thing which has often concerned me...
What if I could first test android apps on my PC before adding them to my android device. I wish I could run those android apps on my windows PC before sending them to my cellphone..!

Better late than never, I have eventually found one such great application which allows me to do exactly what I want. Don’t know how many of you heard of the same but this is what BlueStacks does.
BlueStacks is an app player for Windows, which can play Android apps faster than it can run on a phone and that too, on a full-screen. Interesting...Isn’t it ? Well, I came to know about the same today and without wasting a moment, I downloaded it to see how it worked. I must say..it worked brilliant though I did experience minor glitches with the same. Bluestacks comes preloaded with 10 andorid apps which to the max can be increased to 26 android apps in the free version. You can login with your facebook account to download these android apps to your BlueStacks program. As told earlier, you can download at least 26 android apps in the free version of BlueStacks whereas the paid version of the same, Bluestacks App Player (Pro Version) runs unlimited android apps but is still to be launched. Hopefully, it shall be launched very soon..!

To tell you more about the BlueStacks, BlueStacks is nothing but a virtual android operating system which simulates an Android phone or UI. Once installed on your PC, the program can be accessed easily from the top right corner of the screen. You can find it in the form of a widget which once clicked reveals all android apps installed in the same. You can then click on any of your desired app and run it in fullscreen. Additional apps can be installed from the BlueStacks website by signing in using your Facebook account details. This is done via clicking on the shortcut “Get more apps” while scrolling through the available android apps in the BlueStacks widget. You can even move apps from your mobile device to PC using Bluestacks Cloud Connect app which is available to download free from the Android market.

So, here you go. BlueStacks is a must download application for any android lover. This is what I have to say after trying out the same. It does help you a lot in finding out the right app for your device, what’s best and what’s not. Also, I know how frustrating it is for any game lover to play those android games in such tiny screens. Don’t you hate it..! If you do then BlueStacks might be the right choice for you....all you favorite android games in a much bigger fuller screen on your windows PC...Great..Isn’t it ??

Hey Aswani,
Great piece of info man. There are so many apps on Android that are similar to each other. This tool gives us a way to try and run things on our PC/Laptop before we can use it on Android.
I am going to install this soon. Thank you so much
