Bluestacks Mac ReviewMuch like Apple’s iPhone Simulator included with the Xcode developer suite, BlueStacks App Player / Android App Player emulates an Android environment on your Mac, allowing you to try out multiple platform-specific apps and games, for free.

The software is admittedly in alpha, and its poor performance acts as clear evidence of that (more on this below), but its arrival has been most welcome in OS X circles.

Mac

Thanks to a straightforward interface, Android App Player makes it a breeze to launch a title and have a go at it to see what the other camp is babbling on about.

You can either launch the App Player itself, click on any of the included apps in the specially-set folder in your Dock, or you can even access the titles from Launchpad, OS X Lion’s own application launcher.

Anytime you want to go back to the home screen just hit the BlueStacks button below. The simple back-and-forth UI makes it feel as if Android App Player is somewhat of a built-in application with your Mac OS, though you’ll soon discover that’s not exactly so.

The works

Just as if you were using a Droid, the interface lets you browse through your included apps in a clean home screen, with the option to drag down the Notifications pane to see if there’s any change with the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, or Pulse News.

When you launch an app, you go full screen with the mouse turning into your finger, ready for some emulated touch. Careful scrolling up and down, though. BlueStacks App Player records those actions as taps, for one reason or another.

Some games, such as Drag Racing, are visibly unfit for the mouse & keyboard combo. However, the emulator does a great job at giving you an idea of what this game would be on a tablet device where both your hands are free to touch the display.

Simpler titles, like Zebra Paint (screenshot below), make for a good test subject if you’re considering to get your kid a Droid. After all, if the purpose is education, and there’s no money to spare, no one will blame you for choosing function over sparkle (i.e. Apple iPad).

The application has a double purpose. On one side, it enables developers to put their Android applications into the hands of broader audiences, perhaps even convincing some to get a Droid for the full experience. From the BlueStacks App Player FAQ for developers:

What are we getting from giving you guys permission to feature us?Discovery and distribution. Even if only 50,000 of our users download and use your app, that’s 50,000 more than zero. If BlueStacks continues to grow as fast as it is, that number could be a lot higher.

At the other end of the spectrum, it lets you - the regular user - see what you’ve been missing, or what you haven’t been missing, in case you’re left with the same bitter taste as before. Either way, it can’t hurt knowing what the weather’s like on the other side of the fence, right?

The Good

Android App Player does a splendid job at showing you the advantages, as well as the kinks of rocking in an Android environment. Even though your clicks may result in unexpected commands at times, keep in mind that everything in there was made with touch in mind. The App Player is also alpha, so don’t tax it too much for trying to do its job in this ruthless world of ours.

The Bad

A bug causing App Player to interpret upward scrolls as taps (action) makes for a lousy experience. BlueStacks should take care of this annoyance soon if anyone is ever going to make it through a complete test of any app.

The truth

With a few more hardware optimizations here and there, a couple of bug fixes and a broader selection of titles, future versions of Android App Player will really make a difference in the Mac ecosystem where the cult is strong enough to cause “temporary blindness.” BlueStacks’ solution acts like a much-needed medicine for those who won’t hear anything about anything unless it has an Apple logo on it.

BlueStacks App Player - Run mobile apps on your computer

Download Bluestacks 4

Despite the looks and capabilities of smart phones and tablets, their screens can't be compared with a 22 inch, wide-screen monitor. Unfortunately, mobile apps are not compatible with PCs, so you can't enjoy them on a large monitor. This is where BlueStacks App Player comes in. It enables you to run mobile apps on Windows PCs and Mac OS X platforms. You can play your favorite games, download new apps, send them to your mobile device and much more.
BlueStacks App Player is still in its Beta stage and you can use it for free, during this period. Its setup file is 8.73 MB and it takes about one or two minutes to install the core components. The software provides support for Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, as well as various Mac OS X versions.
The user interface resembles a mobile platform, due to its familiar layout and functionality. Instead of tapping with your finger, you must point and click with your mouse. Besides that, if you have a laptop, you can use its touchpad to play or browse, regardless of the pointer's position. When you need to type something, a virtual keyboard will show up on the screen, but you can use the real keyboard as well. Apps are displayed as large thumbnails and you can launch them immediately with a single click. The installed apps and the ones that are available for downloading are displayed on different pages, which can be accessed via navigation buttons, in the upper area of the interface.
While running an app or going through BlueStacks App Player's general settings, you can return to the main apps pages instantly, by clicking a Home button, located in the lower center of the screen, just like on a tablet or smart phone. Besides the Home button, you can also find buttons for navigating backwards, displaying additional options, in apps or other sections of the interface, accessing the general settings menu and switching between full screen and windowed mode.
New apps can be installed in two ways. You can browse through the Top Charts and click an app, to display options for installing it on your computer or directly on your mobile device, if it's plugged into your computer. Once you click the Install option, BlueStacks App Player will take you to the app's page, on Google Play. Alternatively, you can use the program's built-in search function, to locate specific apps. The results are displayed on a small window, within the main user interface. The found apps are displayed with options for installing them or sending them to your phone. Installed apps can be sent to a phone immediately, by clicking an option, on their thumbnails.
Apps can be sent in both directions. Besides sending them to your phone, you can also send apps and other contents from your phone to your computer, by using BlueStacks App Player's synchronization function. Furthermore, the program allows you to synchronize your data, between a computer and a phone, via the Cloud, so you don't have to connect your phone with a cable.
Pros:
BlueStacks App Player's interface looks and feels just like a smart phone or tablet. You can scroll on pages or play games, using the same gestures, but with a mouse or a laptop's touchpad. The software allows you to download new apps, run them or send them to your phone. It is also possible to synchronize data between the program and a mobile device.
Cons:
There are no serious issues to mention.
BlueStacks App Player's smart design and its seamless integration with Mac and Windows platforms enable you to run the best apps the Internet has to offer, on your computer.
