What Is BlueStacks?

BlueStacks App Player is an easy to use yet powerful software solution designed to run Android apps right on your Windows machine.It uses a special technology called LayerCake, which provides the correct environment to run ARM-applications for the Android OS on a computer running Windows XP and above.

The scale of the program is not as small as it would seem at first sight. After installing BlueStacks on your Windows PC, you can directly download Android-app you need from the program , without using the Android-smartphone. BlueStacks looks pretty neat and fits naturally into the interface of Windows. The program allows you to run Android-application in a window or full screen mode, and it can deal with almost everything - it has been translated into 12 languages.
