When you’ve opened the software, just head to the Play Store app in the Google folder and pick the apps you want to use: This time we could run pretty much everything we tried, including Instagram like apps that already created problems, so if you want a little floating Instagram window on the side of your desktop, NoxPlayer fits the bill. The interface is slick and easy on the eye, and we had no problems getting the emulator up and running. Again, you get full access to the Google Play Store so you’re not reliant on loading in APKs from third-party sources. NoxPlayer Android Emulator for both Windows and macOS matches Bluestacks pretty much feature for feature but is even faster and more intuitive to use.
