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

current owner ruined it, go somewhere else.
tried several android emulators for windows 11 on a high end gaming PC. this is by far the worst. ads on a side window, no matter what app you run. crashes constantly, cannot resize or change windows without completely closing the program. prior to the current owner it was excellent. the current owner destroyed it. complete garbage. go somewhere else. horribly dissatisfied and sad since bluestacks prior to the current owner was amazingly good.
If i could give it zero stars i would

It gave me a virus warning
It gave me a virus warning. I was shocked and I didn't use it anymore
After installation, a new sign-in to my Google account occured from an unknown device
After installation, Google informed me that they noticed a new sign-in to my Google Account on a OnePlus3T device. I do not have such a device. So Google invited me to change password, which I did. Then I immediately uninstalled BlueStacks.
My internet provider is Orange and it never happened before. I do not play games, I never use my PC for fun, but for academic purposes.
Seems good BUT...

BTD6 NETFLIX DOES NOT WORK WITH THIS PROGRAM. DESPITE U SHOWING IT ON UR WEBSITE... U EVEN POSTED MULTIPLE TIMES ON REDDIT THAT IT DOSENT WORK. SO WHY NOT REMOVE THE PAGE?!?
Why I hate bluestacks
All I literally experience is lag with this app it made my computer really hot and they're are a million ads a second and it's hard to skip the ads so rate this game 1 star because it eats at your cpu
basically trash
it restarted my computer without permission and made the fan almost broke it also disconnected me from a game I was playing in a specific server and it wasn't worth it also it's so laggy I could barely move my mouse when it was downloading if I could rate it -5 stars I would do that without hesitation I want this company to fail for what it has done to my computer
It would not work at all
It would not work at all, froze my laptop completly and had to restart and dump it. it is pathethic. 1 star is way over rated.
laggggg
omg, bluestacks is really laggy now, I can't access some games or apps or there's some problem that I don't even understand what it is! I hope the publisher will fix the error and upgrade bluestacks, it's a waste of time!!
Zero responsiveness
Zero responsiveness, zero customer service. They promise more than they can deliver. Their "Contact" form must go to the trash box.
Terrible platform
Trying to set up a TeamViewer meeting so they can do a remote access and find out why I can't use dofu sports. It takes them 4 to 5 days to respond to my emails. Can't get them to do a TeamViewer meeting. Forget it not worth it! I'll find another way to watch dofu sports on my laptop. What a shame
THE USELESS BLUESTACKS
blue stacks has become so USELESS since this now.gg whatever began running it...it has become slower not to mention how long and complicated it has become to have apps on it. lets not even talk about the ads...I'm now at a point that recommending blue stacks to someone would be considered recommending a torture device... i cant even ask you to fix the problems because I'm never using it again
Extremely dangerous software and now…

Bluestacks is a total hack
Bluestacks is a total hack, trojans, slow computers (probably install bitcoin miner) and stolen accounts and such, it is a total hacksite why do you think they put a moderator here to talk good a free download site, how do they make their money? Stealing and selling your data.. and mining coin on your computer.
Bluestacks sucks.
Horrible, i have a lot of space, but games won't load, like at all, and bluestacks x redirects you to bluestacks 5!
its horrible and full of ads
ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads ads...
In theory this app is a streamlined method of creating and starting virtual machines using Virtual Box. It's not hugely complex, but should be effective at allowing you to run any Android App on your PC.
This used to be reliable, until I recently updated it.
It used to have ads when you started it up, but that was OK. You can ignore those. And the performance was OK.
I am running a high performance gaming rig. There is absolutely no excuse for an extremely basic 2D game to be lagging. Google play won't work.
It is now little more than an ad spamming app.
The only reasonable assumption is that BlueStacks has been hacked in to oblivion and hijacked by actual kidnappers, as I cannot believe anyone (other than a rogue billionaire) would go out of their way to so thoroughly destroy their own product.
Avoid at all costs.
