Are Android Applications Meant for Smartphone Only? Think Again!

by GH Staff

Android is another great product offered by Google. But this feature is available only for Smartphone. Android is basically an operating system which serves as a platform to run different applications. It has significant advantages that are not available with iOS and Windows Phones.

Android makes it feel as you have a lot of freedom. And it is the case in fact. You can easily benefit from various applications, and this makes Android Phones far better than iPhones and Windows phones. The application store, known as the Play Store, has becomes successful in satisfying the needs of the users.

Issues with Android OS Resolved

Android Play Store contains many popular applications such as games like Candy Crush, and applications like WhatsApp. But the restriction is that these applications cannot be installed on any other operating system. You could not use these applications on your desktop. But now we have some applications which allow us to install and run these applications on PC. BlueStacks and App Player are the popular applications which support Android Applications to run on desktop computers. So the main problem has been resolved.

BlueStacks is free software. You can download it easily from the internet. What it does is that it imitates the Android Environment on your PC. When you download any Android Application on your desktop having BlueStacks installed, the applications run just as they do on mobiles. This is perhaps the best way to run Android Application on your personal computers.

Android 4.4 Version

At present, BlueStacks supports Android 4.0 Version. The developers of BlueStacks have already claimed that they are going to launch BlueStacks to support Android 4.4 Version. Android 4.4 Version is the latest version of Android Operating System. There are some applications that do not run on Android 4.4 Version. But the number of such applications is negligible.

Desktop Requirements

Another great feature of BlueStacks is that it does demand for heavy performance of your desktop. You just need to have a normal graphic card to run most of the applications. The basic requirement is the stability of the Android Applications installed on your PC. BlueStacks’ developers claim that 95% of the applications do not have any issues regarding their stability on desktops. So if it is true, then stability of the Android Applications is not a major issue. App Player or BlueStacks, could be installed on both Windows and Mac, Operating Systems.

Future of BlueStacks

Recently, developers of BlueStacks are working on a comprehensive version of this application. They claim that the new version will be able to run all the Android Applications on desktops. By this, they mean all those Android Applications available at Play Store. But his version is not going to be free of cost. Its price is anticipated to around 130$. But the history of this application suggests that its benefits are far beyond its price.

It took more than two years to develop BlueStacks Application. The response from the users is highly satisfying. The company claims that more than 10 Million users have downloaded BlueStacks, which is an encouraging figure.

Minor Issues

The only issue with BlueStacks is that heavy games do not run as smoothly as they should. But all those games that need average requirements tend to perform really well. We anticipate that the upcoming version of the software will address this issue as well.
