5 Best Android Emulators To Run Android Apps On PC by baseg25(m): 5:45am On Jul 19, 2014
Android apps are few, which are so popular among Android users including few apps and games. Now if you don’t own an Android smartphone you can’t use this apps. With the help of Android emulators , you can enjoy your favourite android apps on your Windows PC . This also comes in handy when you don’t have high-end Android device to play graphic intensive games, you can play those Android games like temple runand rest on your PC. There are several Android emulator available for download like Bluestacks which is one of the most popular Android emulator and YouWave – another popular Android emulator, compare bluestacks it is not free and comes with a 10 days of Trial.

Best Android Emulators to Run Android Apps on PC

Bluestacks

According to Wikipedia Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products are designed to enable Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computersand Windows tablets.
Bluesacks offers almost every Android app from both Google play store and other third party android stores like Amazon etc. To run Bluestacks emulator your PC should meet the minimum requirement such as 2GB of RAM and updated graphic card
YouWave

YouWave also does the same task as Bluestacks and other Android Emulator.. I prefer YouWave because it offers full android system unlike bluestacks app player the menu and options are just like a regular android home screen, however you wave is a paid application but comes with ten days of free trial to try out the software, but it also comes with a premium price tag of 19.9$ (home edition). YouWave supports Android 4.0.4 ICS version which means that any app, which requires 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher can’t be run on your PC using Youwave. Before making any purchase , i will advise you to download the trial version of YouWave with 10 days validity.
Genymotion

According to Software InformerGenymotion is an open source Android emulator for app testing and presentation. You can control simulated sensors like battery, GPS, accelerometer with the user-friendly interface, it includes powerful command line tools that allow you to build complex tests and you can test your applications with 3D performances.Genymotion uses the same principle as YouWave to run Android
apps by installing Oracle Virtualbox on your PC.
Developers also used it to test their developer android apps on different devices like tablet and smartphones. It provides you the full Android experience and for me is the fastest emulator that you can use on your PC, compare to Bluestacks, which only allows you to run Android apps.
Jar of Beans

This is an emulator that is built on android jelly bean operating system, This android emulator for windows is pretty popular amongst developers community, it supports hardware acceleration on intel machines which improves emulator performance,jar of beans works on a resolution of 1280*768 or higher. There are specific buttons designed to install apk, control volumes and users, you can also create a virtual sd card card.
The newer version of this android emulator for windows has play store integrated to install apps directly.
Although it has some amazing features but freezing, error messages & installation problems are pretty common issues users have reported.

VirtualBox

VirtualBox is also a Windows-based utility which creates virtual machines on your PC to allow you to run Android operating system or other OS on your PC. Installing VirtualBox is not as simple as other above-mentioned emulators.
It requires you to make few changes, before running Android on your PC.
