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

I play brawl stars on a 1000$ pc and my game crashed insanely,beacause the game is good only for mobiles.I wanted to write this review beacause I want to say that your platform is like a BBC,and I wanted to report this shit problem.The game is smooth sometimes but sometis is shit.I want to delete this aplication because is trash,and my game can t even load sometimes.I want to see if you can fix the problem,and that s it.Goodbye,and I want the problem to fix one day.
I gave it 1 star because I have to
I gave it 1 star because I have to, otherwise it would be no stars at all. I came to find this is the worst game app ever made. It keeps freezing and crashing every few minutes each time I try to send a message or do anything else
RE: What a 'HEADACHE'....
Utterly ridiculous, it's gone from not been able to log in via my Google Account, to then logging in but game play is glitchy and not responsive on a brand new 2024 Macbook Pro M3 and if that was not all last few days can't even log-in saying it can't find instance and then looping 5mins to notify me of this again.
I would just say avoid, i'm sure there are other things to be stressed out about than adding this into your life.
Bluestacks isn't open for everyone to use
You can't use download Blue stacks on your computer if you don't have a Mac Or PC it isn't available for everyone to use its only available on Macs and PC
No excuses
No excuses, Bluestacks simply stopped loading both games I had installed, contacted support, complete and utter waste of my time, no help, dont care and the most annoying is that I lost over a year's progress on both games!!!!
Tried to re install, still doesn't work.
Bluestacks sort yourselves out !!!
No idea why folk are moaning so much
No idea why folk are moaning so much, works perfect, the ads are only when it loads up which is fine, installing games is quick and easy through the playstore....setting it up is easy as well....multi instance manager is great if you want other accounts or have family members who want to have theres set up also.....all in all its great....people moaning about some of the stuff i have read i have no idea what they on about....yes some games do not play well but thats life....its like a real life emulator....not every game will run....so just enjoy it for what it is....keep up the good work.
I get multiple malware hits every…
I get multiple malware hits every single time I play a BlueStacks game. Right now it is Lily's Garden.
Dissapointed
Honestly, when i tried installing toca boca it worked but it took me 114 taps to pres the up button it kept me waiting for 30 mins not impressed
Was good once. Not now
wasted loads of time trying to get this to work
What Is App Centre
First off what is App Centre? If you're going to send me to PlayStore, why not just give me Playstore.
Fun game crappy company
Take a fun game and make it so people can't play it. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY OF THERE GAMES AND DO NOT DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS.
I MIGHT DOWLOAD ANOTHER EMULATOR
When ever I try to play gacha life 2 I can only do a little bit of stuff before it just randomly closes and all my progress is gone.
This is always annoying and I have to start all over again
sometimes when I play Duck Duck goose on BlueStacks there's always an ad at the side that makes to screen smaller. And when ever I play its always laggy
don't use this
I'm not english, the translations in my language are incomprehensible and it runs super slowly (I have a pretty fast pc)... I can't even open games sometimes... terrible!! I don't recommend.

dont download it crashes and just do a sh"t bro in bluestacks mother
Bluetock is safe but slow and laggy
Bluestacks is safe 100% but they are slow just once played taked 5minutes to load and on game lags little bittle and other next Times never load to game i waited enough u need maybe to wait like 30 minutes to it load 😂
I hope they FIX The slow and lags
Not recommended, at all.
It's sad how users with low-end devices' only option is a downright unusable Android emulator managed by an ugly money-hungry company. They do not care about their users at all, there are ads everywhere and the UI is terrifyingly very ugly. Everything about this software sucks. Hope those guys go bankrupt soon.
Don't use this. Unless you want to waste 3+ hours of your life.
Absolute TRASH. Can't even run for 1 minute before crashing my whole pc despite having a graphics card. Gives WAY too much irrelevant ads and has an absolutely garbage GUI. I'd rather play on a piece of paper than this so-called "#1 Android Emulator".
BlueStacks 5 has gone downhill...
Update: How. The hell. Did it get WORSE?! I was able to play a ton of games on this emulator, but now, it seems like the only games I can play are the ones that they feature on their homepage, as every other game stays open for about 15 seconds, then immediately crashes. Heck, they even mentioned playing games like CookieRun: Kingdom on their explore page, and now THAT won't stay open, And don't get me started on Synthesia, It will start up one time, then another time, a popup saying "Unexpected shutdown." would appear. The only thing that will stay open are file managers and Chrome, but now, even the Play Store is crashing, and I had to sign out and reset the entire store for it to work again, resulting in it signing me out of all my apps as well. And not to mention: even more bugs are appearing like the audio stuttering randomly, and the rotation for some apps either permanently locking themselves or becoming reversed (landscape controls in portrait mode). If these bugs keep getting worse, then I might just have to stick with playing games on my phone because this is genuinely getting ridiculous!
(Update #2: Now the Nougat and Pie instances won't even open at all. It will get halfway through the "Starting" progress bar, then immediately crash. I don't know what to do at this point anymore.
