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

If you install it once, you can never delete it
If you install it once, you can never delete it. This stupid trash stays on your computer forever in your "Program Files" folder. It is not possible to delete it, because it is "apparently open".
Ads are horrible!!
You guys recently updated the game and removed the option to remove ads. It's annoying. I get ads AFTER EVERY LEVEL IN EVERY GAME!! This is making me rather play games on MOBILE EVEN IF THE SCREEN IS TINY! This is horrible and stupid. Fix it. Ads are stupid and annoying.
If Bluestacks is the best emulator out…
If Bluestacks is the best emulator out there, then I can't imagine what the worst one is like. Takes eons to open, if it opens at all. Crashes over and over again after it has locked up. Most games won't load and those that do, won't play. I've tried deleting then reinstalling it several times, as recommended. Still dosen't work properly. Customer service is AI only. I do not recomment Bluestacks to anyone for any reason.
rubbish website
1of the worst websites ive ever used its amde my ehole pc slow and laggy and it doesnt even work DO NOT USE BLUESTACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this software is brilliant and i recommend it to everyone, i dont understand the negative reviews but oh well
This is the sh**iest program i've seen
This is the sh**iest program i've seen, freezes your computer when you're trying to close it down. Crashes & closes down on itself with no warning. If you like your computer, don't install this.
Buggy
hey there, I can't even use the program because I've got a Mac that has a silicone processor and it says 'oh, it doesn't support silicon' please fix that.
This software is shoddy and unreliable
This software is shoddy and unreliable. It will make it hard to remove apps from the software which will possibly end up stuck on your computer. Wouldn't recommend.
Brilliant software - cant understand negative reviews.…
Just downloaded whatsapp using bluestacks. Perfect everything works. Only took 10 minutes to download BlueStacks from their site and WApp. Other day downloaded it on another laptop to use Google Play and download activities for grandaughter which are android based. Absolutely brilliant.
An emulator not capable to amulate
As person with an eye deficiency, I had to try to use an emulator as I can't play in a mobile.
After seeing a Bluestack ad, I installed what was version 3, then came 4 at the present moment 5. All of them were presented as very lite, whereas they all used over 87% of your CPU, thus draining the notebook battery very quickly.
When I played different App games, I always had issues with watching videos in order to get extra rewards and sometimes it isn't capable to start one and you have to relaunch again.
Upon requesting solution, their customer support always replies with impersonal messages, to which you need to explain over and over again the problem and in the end they do not find a solution.
Bottom line a reader might well give it a miss to this Company and try another one.
Bluestacks sucks
Bluestacks literally sucks. They have had like 10 different ducking versions and it still seems to suck major ass, seriously. The whole thing ducking crashes if you look at it funny (extremely buggy) and it lags to no ducking end. And they would rather work on making a new version every month instead of fixing their buggy ass software that doesnt even work properly. Cant even ducking use this anymore
Terrible app it will not function
honestly if i could give it zero stars…
honestly if i could give it zero stars i would, it takes forever to load.
Terrible
It took forever to download, made me log into my Google account multiple times then wouldn't load the store AT ALL, didn't even get to play/download any games. I had a bad feeling so have changed my pass.
useless
you open the game and cant even move the options about to select the right 1 blue stacks is a waste of time installing
new update
Bluestacks was always good for playing mobile games on pc but I mostly play minecraft on it and when I installed the the bluestacks update making the minecraft experience more PC-like, the game just felt unplayable because of the rotation following the mouse. If you could let players choose which type of minecraft experience between a more mobile-like playstyle and a more PC-like playstyle it would be nice of you.
Just use virtualbox with android installed...
you'd be better off installing virtualbox than using any other android emulators,many are run by chinese companies and you really dont want any ad ridden spyware filled app on your computer do you?if so virtualbox is a great option for you,and probably me,
bluestacks is unusually slow since like bluestacks 3
Using BlueStacks for games
Using BlueStacks for games, it's so good! I can't watch my phone's tiny screen for so long, Thanks BlueStacks.
