Playing Android apps on the computer using BlueStacks.

I found an application you can download for free and it allows you to play your Android apps for free on your computer!

Simply go to: http://www.bluestacks.com/
Download the application for your appropriate OS. Install the application and run.

Once you run the application for the first time, it will ask you to enable a few things for it to run properly. I selected all, but the last one. I believe App Sync and the other option needs to be enabled. You can uncheck all three and choose 0 permissions.

Once you start browsing the Google Play store and try to install an application, it will prompt you to login to your Google email (Gmail) account. Login and try to download something. It will tell you the exact items you need to enable in order for the applications to function, enable these.

Once you have logged into your Google account, downloaded your app and installed it. You are ready to play your app on your computer!

Here is what the settings screen looks like. The bottom bar is your notification area and any new updates on your apps will appear here.



Here is what the full application looks like when it is ready to roll:
