Top 5 Best Android Emulators for PC!
using an android emulator is a great way
to access Android apps on your computer
many use an emulator for gaming to be
able to use their keyboard mouse or game
controller you can also run other types
of Android apps as well with so many
emulators to choose from we've come up
with a list of the top 5 Android
emulators for your PC and testing we
look at the features available stability
ease of use and the overall user
experience to determine the best let's
get started
[Music]
starting off our countdown at number
five is co-player whose main focus is
gaming it allows you to record your
gameplay and upload it wherever you want
it it also allows for key mapping to
emulate a controller with your keyboard
when you first launch co-player it will
ask which mode that you want and
maximize game performance select speed
mode if you've run into any issues after
starting co-player you can switch to
compatible mode later on in settings
along the left you have several options
here at the top selecting the keyboard
icon will let you edit the keys for your
keyboard if you're using a game
controller you can activate it and map
it to your preferred layout to switch
from landscape to portrait mode select
the rotate screen icon you'll also find
other options for taking screenshots
recording and sideloading apks like many
of the Android emulators you have full
access to the Google Play Store to
install apps just use caution like you
would on your phone or tablet when
choosing which apps to install
unfortunately on the home screen the app
icons can't be moved
co-player is completely free but like
most emulators you'll have to deal with
the occasional ads coming in at number
four is me Moo play unlike co-player
which is based on android kitkat me
moose software supports apps up to
Android lollipop 5.1 it supports
multiple instances to run multiple apps
simultaneously along with support for a
mouse keyboard and gamepad in me Moo all
the familiar options show up on the
right side of the player to create
multiple instances of the me Moo Player
for multitasking purposes select the
multi me move icon in the lower right
click on create you can pick either
android 5.1 or 4.4 5.1 is newer so most
times you'll select that one then click
on start and it will open a new window
for me move so you can work on more than
one task at a time me Moo plays free to
use and continues to improve with each
new update
and at number three is BlueStacks which
is the best known Android emulator and
was recently updated to Android nougat
it has keyboard mouse and gamepad
support along with the ability to run
multiple apps side by side this emulator
targets gamers a quick look at the user
interface you'll see that we're in the
app center which lists recommended apps
along with popular top grossing and
trending in the right pane along the top
you can access my apps which will show
apps that you have installed if you need
assistance you can go to the Help Center
and to the right of the Help Center is
Piku world which is there in platform
reward currency system where you can
redeem points for physical and digital
goods in-app purchases and can be used
to update skins I personally find pika
world to be more of a nuisance with its
constant notifications let's go back to
my apps the tabbed interface is a cool
feature when opening an app it opens in
a new tab this makes it easy to run
multiple apps at the same time compared
to most emulators BlueStacks is bloated
so it may not run smoothly if you have a
PC with lower system specs or an older
computer anyone can use loose tax for
free with no limits but they do charge a
fee to remove the ads which varies
depending on your region at last check
here in the United States the fee was
$2.00 per month in the runner-up spot at
number Q is Andy which is another
popular Android emulator that's been
around for many years and was also
updated recently to Android nougat it
has a ton of features including being
able to use your phone as a controller
I'll caution you right now when
installing Andy that has a history of
setting off antivirus or malware
security software at this time Andy and
the others mentioned in this video are
completely safe to use as usual just be
careful when installing apps into the
emulators that you only choose the apps
that you trust
as you can see Andy more closely
resembles Android with a cleaner looking
user interface then the others mentioned
with less clutter holding down the left
click on your mouse while in the window
will bring up the options
to change your wallpaper and widgets and
go into your settings going back to the
home screen you had the familiar looking
app drawer which shows you the apps that
you have installed quite simply if
you've ever used an Android device
before this just may be the easiest
Android emulator that you'll ever use
Andy is completely free for personal use
if you run a business they do have a pro
version with plans starting at $12 per
month
coming in at number one is Knox player
but quite frankly it was a toss-up
between Andy and Knox for the number one
spot even though Knox only has
compatibility up to lollipop 5.1 I found
it perform better than most of the other
emulators when gaming while including
most of the same features Knox player
has all the usual features that can be
selected from the right side including
shake keyboard control a multi instance
manager a recorder screenshot tool and
many others in addition you can change
the theme by selecting the icon that
looks like a t-shirt here at the top
with five to choose from there may be
times when an app requires that your
device be rooted in Knox player rooting
is easy select settings and check the
box next to root and save your settings
you'll need to restart Knox player for
the change to take effect that's all
there is to it Knox player is completely
free just like Andy and bluestacks it's
also available for Mac OS thanks for
