The looks
Much like Apple’s iPhone Simulator included with the Xcode developer suite, BlueStacks App Player / Android App Player emulates an Android environment on your Mac, allowing you to try out multiple platform-specific apps and games, for free.The software is admittedly in alpha, and its poor performance acts as clear evidence of that (more on this below), but its arrival has been most welcome in OS X circles.

When you launch an app, you go full screen with the mouse turning into your finger, ready for some emulated touch. Careful scrolling up and down, though. BlueStacks App Player records those actions as taps, for one reason or another.
