Hi! Is there any application that is better than BlueStacks?

BlueStacks is too slow to run, and after a few days it is not working properly

BlueStacks is well-optimized, but you can always download and see if other emulators work better for your specific software-and-hardware configuration.

• Xamarin Android Player (and its x32 version): you may need to install VirtualBox for that emulator;
• Nox App Player, though it may have more lags than BlueStacks;
• Genymotion (this may not open in some countries, so you need to use a proxy-server);
• Andy;
• AmiDuos;
• Droid4X.
