They absolutely ruined the program. It is extremely predatory, everytime you want to do a purchase through the emulator they try to force you to do purchases through their system. Now they made it so... See more

Great app
Had to give this a go after i learnt that i could play my mobile games on my laptop . The apps works just fine and I've honestly had a great time using this app on my windows 10 laptop ; Even though other apps like Snapchat couldn't open even after being installed but i didn't really care as i was mostly interested in the games which work really well

Bad experience when I logged in there they hacked my Facebook account, changed my account email, add another email to my account and remove my email from facebook account. Also changed my password Facebook account and email.

FORCED ADS DURING GAMEPLAY
FORCED ADS DURING GAMEPLAY
Had Bluestacks installed and had a message to update... Updated and installed only to find out ads are now permanent even tho there is a setting where you can turn them off during gameplay, supposedly
Set it for them to be off when playing a game and that lasted 2 minutes at most they reappeared, even though on the setting ads are still turned off
The ads on the bluestacks get on your nerves while playing games, especially the video ads they have appearing
It has made me lose ALL interest in Bluestacks (something I used a lot every single day)
Now uninstalling and NEVER using Bluestacks again, EVER

The latest version is full of ads on the left side and everytime it change ad, everything slows down. The games I use are slower than ever and crash regularly. It use to be better.
Terrible

Bluestacks is getting the worst androit simulator, nothing is working normally, useless updates and restrictions of app on the playstore...
so dumb and crappy
i down loaded it thinking i can play geometry dash on my pc instead it said that the server was down
screw this
1.open any game
2.enjoy the game
3.get a 30 second fricking ad
4.get kicked from the server because the game was suspended by an other app (the ad)
5.get mad enough to write a review on a 3rd party website

Take heed by fellow gamers i've just spent a whole Sunday morning for nothing. If you slow to download it is slow to install when you decided and you've chosen your game you will regret it because it has to download it again from Google Play which takes forever. Do not download it is a big load of crap.

Its says that it need to update the player every tme I install a new game.
All settings are correct at my end.
worst program
This is the worst program I have ever used! Someone or people need to find another job not making programs. How or why they launched this program before it was useable is beyond me. DO NOT USE!
Do not use it!
bluestacks is so shi*, swear to god. Company that created it should just stop operating or operate on something out of the software industry.
Really bad app with crashes and lag all over the place, not to talk about the buggy and slowed system.

TERRIBLE SPAM PORN HACKS YOUR IDENTITY WON'T START, ALL OF THE ABOVE
This software is disappointing
What's the point of making the PC emulator for Macbooks if it doesn't support apple silicon at all? There's no point in installing this thing my friends.
BlueStacks (BS) or BullShoot?
The good thing about BlueStacks (BS), the only good thing, is that it lets you play many Android games on your Windows PC.
Not all games. Quite few I tried did not support BS.
I've had some shakey code from them which ended with me losing all my previously saved data/scores/games when I reloaded. They seem to be a bit of a wing and a prayer company, tbh.
The worst thing though is that you have to use their own GUI. This is Spam City as they try to intensively plug whatever garbage they want to sell that day. There's no attempt to suggest games you might actually want to play, and the search bar for Google play never works for me.
Worse, when BS -frequentlly- falls over & you eventually work out that you need to upgrade the prog/spam driver before you can play, this takes between 10 & 20 minutes to d/l several huge data files, install them, and restart the BS. It's just appalling programming in this day and age.
Garbage
In a nutshell - customer service is non existent! One of "their apps" (instant app) would not update and kept spinning doing nothing; therefore, I emailed them asking them the simplest of questions - "How do I uninstall Instant App?..."
I got a reply from a foriegner who obviously couldn't read English OR comprehend English asking me what happens when the app updates????? IF your going to have customer support then employ people who can speak and comprehend the langauge. Then again, what would you expect from some 3rd rate californian company ...
The thing (Bluestacks) craches all too often, a problem THEY (who ever they are) have conveniently ignore. If there is another Android emulateor out there - USE IT, it will have to be better than this bluestacks rubbish.
Not for me
Too many adverts, couldn't find the app I wanted. I uninstalled BlueStacks immediately.
